Police said multiple people were hit by bullets but have not yet confirmed if anyone was killed.
“At the conclusion of the rally there were shots fired west of Union Station near the garage and several people were struck,” Capt. Jake Becchina, a spokesman for the Kansas City Police Department told the Kansas City Star.
“We need people to exit the area as quickly and safely as possible and avoid the parking garage in order to facilitate treatment of shooting victims,” Becchina said.
Officers have detained two armed individuals for more investigation, according to Becchina.
