Jackson County’s Office of the Juvenile officer hit two juveniles with firearm-related charges and charges for resisting arrest on Friday in connection to the shooting at the Kansas City Chief’s Super Bowl parade on Wednesday.
The Associated Press reported that a news release from the Jackson County Family Court noted that “additional charges are expected in the future as the investigation by the Kansas City Police Department continues.”
KCUR noted that the individuals were “not charged in adult court because the two are juveniles — which also means officials are not releasing their names.”
Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker pointed out, “We will continue to work closely with all authorities as the investigation continues. We are grateful for the collaboration and partnership with these juvenile officers.”
