Three people have been detained as an active investigation is ongoing into a deadly shooting Wednesday at Kansas City Super Bowl celebrations, according to Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves.
A video has circulated which shows "some fans tackling someone," she said at a news conference. Authorities are trying to determine if one of the detained individuals is the same person featured in the video.
She added that authorities are still working to identify the deceased victim.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas addressed the tragic nature of Wednesday's mass shooting during a news conference.
"Today was tragic for everyone who was part of it," Lucas said. "I had the chance to talk to my wife just a moment ago, who said 'we became part of a statistic of too many Americans — those who have experienced or been part of or connected to a mass shooting.' That is something that I hope we all recognize is highly problematic for all of us."
He then went on to say that the country needs to figure out a way to make sure these deadly shootings stop happening.
The number of people with gunshot wounds has risen, the Kansas City police chief said in an update on Wednesday.
Police Chief Stacey Graves said at least 22 people have gunshot wounds. One of those people died, Kansas City Fire Department Chief Ross Grundyson.
Of those victims, eight had immediately life-threatening injuries and were transported to hospitals within 10 minutes, according to Grundyson. Seven others had life-threatening injuries and six had minor injuries, he said.
Police are still working on a “total number of victims” and Graves stressed that it is an active investigation.

Madison Anderes, 24, who attended the Kansas City Super Bowl parade with her brother and mother, had to run for her life after shots rang out.
"At first we thought it was a string of fireworks," Anderes told CNN over the phone. Shortly after, she said a man standing in front of them turned around and yelled: "He's got a gun! He's got a gun!" Then a second round of pops went off, this time significantly louder.
"That's when all chaos broke out," Anderes said, who was knocked down on the ground when everyone started running. "I felt like I was going to die, I felt like a sitting duck and I was going to get shot."
After Anderes got up, she ran with her brother and mother and huddled with about 10 other people by a storefront, she said. She said by that point she witnessed law enforcement enter the scene.

Kansas City's police chief thanked law enforcement officers for running toward danger in their response to a shooting after a Super Bowl rally — while everyone else attending the celebrations ran away.
"I'm so proud of them that they ran into danger, getting two people into custody, and at the same time rendering life-sustaining aid to those victims," Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said.
Two people were detained for further investigation. Officers chased one of those people shortly after they arrived at the scene of the shooting, Graves said.
"We were here for a safe celebration and because of two bad actors — or more — it is why we're standing here today. We will recover as a city," the police chief said.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said he's "as heartbroken as anybody" as well as "incredibly upset, disappointed" about the Kansas Chiefs Super Bowl shooting that took place today.
Lucas added he attended the celebration with his wife and mother.
"I don't want us to have to in our country — for every big event — think about a concern of being shot," he said during a Wednesday news conference.
