Police said that two juveniles were among those detained. Graves mentioned during the conference that the probe into the shooting is underway. The police department has yet to charge the individuals involved in the incident.
"We have not charged them yet; this is still under investigation," Graves said.
"We do have 24 hours until we have to either file charges or release them. We are working closely with the Jackson County prosecutor's office to present the most successful case for prosecution," she added.
There will be more parades
Inthe wake of the shooting, Mayor Quinton Lucas, when asked about hosting more such parades, said on Thursday that he doesn't think "there is a gun violence challenge in this community".
He said, "We have a plan for a St. Patrick’s Day parade in Kansas City. We have parades all the time. I don’t think they'll end. Certainly, we recognise the public safety challenges at issue that relate to them."
"Unfortunately, this is not the first shooting at a parade in our country or a rally. That is certainly a tragic incident for us because we don’t have experience with them," he added.
