The individual killed by gunfire in Wednesday’s mass shooting in Kansas City, Mo., has been identified by family and colleagues as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a 44-year-old radio DJ and mother of two.
Another 21 people were shot and wounded when gunfire started as fans were leaving the celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs, the reigning NFL Super Bowl champions.
