New video of the Kansas City shooting shows some of the injured children trying to escape the horrific scene — and we’ve learned new info about what sort of weapon police believe the shooter used.
TMZ obtained this never-before-seen footage … a new angle of Wednesday’s shooting as the Chiefs Super Bowl celebration wrapped, and now you can see exactly where the shooting started … and how the injured — including a handful of kids — reacted.
Police have said 9 minors were among the 23 victims who suffered gunshot wounds yesterday, and here you can see a few of them hobbling away — but heroically, also helping each other — immediately after the barrage of gunfire outside Union Station.
You can also hear someone yelling, “It’s fireworks!” — a mistake several witnesses have said people were making amid the chaos and confusion immediately following the shots.
Remember, cops have come out and said this didn’t appear to be a terroristic act, but rather, a possible dispute between parties … which killed at least one person.

As for the investigation … cops have only said they have 3 persons of interest in custody, and 2 of them are juveniles — but our sources, with direct knowledge of the investigation, say cops also know there were an estimated 40 shots discharged on the scene.
We’re also told cops recovered at least 3 weapons — one of them is an AR-style pistol, and 2 others are handguns with extended magazines. It’s unclear if all those weapons were fired during the shooting.
Our sources say cops believe the violence was set off by a confrontation between 2 males and one female — and it’s possible there was more than one person who opened fire in the dense crowd.
As of now, no one’s been charged in the mass shooting … and we’re told the 3 persons of interest are being held in separate jails while police question them and gather more information.

Time will tell if/when more info comes to light … but for now, we have this intel.
BTW, vigils are going on in Kansas City Thursday night to honor the victims of the shooting — and a lot of public officials are out there … as are citizens to pay their respects, as well as to send their prayers.
A prayer vigil is about to start at the Skyway Memorial in Kansas City for the victims of Wednesday’s shooting following the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade. pic.twitter.com/9PvjP8mXuj

Tough time in the city, no doubt.
