Charges were filed against two young men. American musician Taylor Swift donated US$100,000 to the victim's family. Charges were filed against two teenagers.
Charges have been filed against two teenagers following the fatal shooting at the Super Bowl parade in the US state of Missouri. US media reported this unanimously on Friday, citing the responsible family court. The two teenagers are therefore in custody at a juvenile detention center. They are accused of weapons crimes and resisting police.
A woman was shot to death on Wednesday during a parade honoring the Kansas City Chiefs football team. More than 20 other people were injured, including children and young people. According to police, the shooting was preceded by an argument between several people. For many Americans, fear of gun violence is a constant companion to major events.
Donation website for relatives
American musician Taylor Swift, 34, previously donated 100 thousand dollars (around 90 thousand euros) to the victim's family. “I send my deepest condolences and sympathies for your devastating loss,” Swift wrote Friday night about her donation. She donated the money in two installments of US$50,000 each, on a fundraising website created by the family.
The donation site was created to support the family at this difficult time, he said. The woman who died was married and had two children. She was simply trying to celebrate the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory in Wednesday's parade when she was “senselessly killed,” the website said. (APA/dpa)
