[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Kansas City police have refused to rule out terrorism in the Kansas City parade shooting that injured 21, despite images showing a assault rifle at the scene.
Pictures taken at the scene show the rifle perched beside a backpack following the deadly shooting that claimed the life of one person on Wednesday.
Gunmen opened fire moments after the Kansas City Chiefs left the stage on what should have been a triumphant day for the city following their Super Bowl win.
Footage taken at the scene captured the moment the individual with the assault rifle was apprehended by a Chiefs fan. As the man is pinned to the ground, a woman can be seen grabbing the weapon and moving it away.
Those two individuals have since been identified as couple Trey and Casey Filter, who had been watching the parade with their kids when the mayhem unfolded.
As well as the Filter family, 46-year-old Paul Contreras recalled the adrenaline-fueled encounter he had when he jumped on one of the three detained gunmen.
Contreras, who attended the event with his daughter Alyssa, was caught on film by his daughter as he launched himself at the suspect.
Law enforcement officials briefed on the case told NBC that they believe the shooting is criminal in nature, but is not believed to be linked to terrorism.
