She’s more than just “one fatality” in today’s shooting. She’s a mom who came to celebrate with her community and now won’t be going home to her family. This makes me so damn sad! 💔
We’re learning more details tonight about the victim, Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was shot and killed Wednesday following the Chiefs rally outside of Union Station.
To those comparing this to the Kyle Rittenhouse case, he was 17, and in Wisconsin 17 year olds are automatically charged as adults. We have a different state law, which is why we don’t know their names and why it’s illegal for police/courts to give us their names at this time.
There was a shooting at the parade, at least 10 injured, 2 armed people are in custody for questioning. Scariest moments of my life as we hears shots and took cover. Stay tuned to
@KSHB41
as we are live getting more details.
I said it on air, and I’ll say it again. Man, we are lucky to have a job that lets us cover a team we love and be a part of this moment in history! I will never forget this night!
#ChiefsKingdom
I’m lucky to have a great friend like
@DiaWall
who covered for me anchoring the 4 so I could help out it’s my daughter’s Valentine’s Day party at school this afternoon.
Union Station is quiet tonight at the close of what should have been a day of celebration. I’m sad, mad, and like you, I want answers and want to see those responsible held accountable. We have a full hour of news to bring you the latest on today’s tragedy at 10 on KSHB41.
Happy Birthday to my work bestie, the one and only
@kholmesKSHB
! Kevin is the king of dad jokes and bad puns, he has a laugh that carries through the newsroom, and he is one of the most generous people I’ve ever met. I’m honored to call you a coanchor and friend. ❤️ ya, buddy!

Law enforcement gathered earlier outside of Union Station. To
@kcpolice
and our state troopers, thank you for running toward trouble while we hid for safety.
These two are the best coworkers and friends and I could ask for! Thanks
@DiaWall
and
@kholmesKSHB
for checking on me, and for the delicious cookies and coffee. You guys know me too well!
Still can’t believe last night was real and I got to experience that in person! We have one more live shot this morning from the Las Vegas airport, then I’m heading home!
This might be the meanest tweet I’ve had since moving to KC. It also couldn’t be further from the truth. If you know me, you know what you see on air is what you get IRL. If I’m not your cup of tea, that fine. But please, choose kindness, instead of spreading this kind of hate.
So we did something crazy, we got a puppy! (Ok, not so crazy. I’ve been stalking every rescue page in town since we got here, waiting for the right one.) Meet KC Knute, the newest addition of the family!
What a game!!
@thekccurrent
won 5-2, and I got to soak it all in with my youngest daughter, all in the first stadium built specifically for a women’s professional team!
#KCBaby
This is such bittersweet news.
@DiaWall
has been one of my very best friends here in KC. I will miss her tons, but I’m so happy she’s going home to be closer to her family. At least we still get her for a a couple more months! ❤️😢
@mitchholthus
shared with our own
@DiaWall
that we have Rihanna to thank for that extra long halftime, giving Mahomes more time to get that ankle ready and help us reset and come our strong in the second half. 😂
@DiaWall
didn’t get the send off she deserved, and I honestly wasn’t emotionally ready to say goodbye. Thank you for being one of my closest friends here at KSHB, and for always offering your unwavering support. I love you and will forever be grateful for our time together here.
To my dear sister
@CKnuteKSHB

It’s a beautiful thing when women come alongside one another in love & support.
Thanks for being such a wonderful friend to me!
Thanks to

and other coworkers for the cake, coffee, cards, and more today. We have such a special group at KSHB 41, and I’m lucky to work with so many wonderful friends. ❤️
@MikeSFromKansas
What a horrible thing to say. You obviously don’t know me, at all. What you see on air is what you get. Fake? That’s a new one. Thankfully, I have wonderful coworkers who would dispute that hateful, unsolicited comment.
“Why should I wear a mask if I’m vaccinated?” “Why does it matter if others around me are wearing masks if I’m vaccinated?” This is why. 👇 As a Mom w/ 2 kids who can’t get vaccinated yet, even though I’m vaccinated, I worry about getting the Delta variant and giving it to them.
If you are fully vaccinated, your risk of infection is lower, but some people can still spread the Delta variant. When “breakthrough cases” of
#COVID19
do occur in vaccinated people, nearly all are avoiding serious illness, hospitalization, or death.
10 NKC students just spoke out at the
@NKCSchools
board meeting, condemning attempts by the Northland Parents Association to ban books. “Banning books is synonymous w/ banning knowledge,” one student shared.
This kid is just 19, and he's already passed all his firefighter certifications, thanks to a cool class he took at Olathe West H.S.. Now, you won't believe what he's doing for college! See his inspiring story tonight at 10 (or whenever football is over) on

Talk about a team player! When I told

I was struggling and needed a caffeine boost, he not only made a fresh pot in the break room, he brought me a cup in the commercial break!

Breaking from KS Gov. Laura Kelly: Starting next Monday, all Kansas state employees will need to wear a mask indoors. She says this is the result of 1/2 the state’s population not getting vaccinated, allowing the highly contagious Delta variant to spread.
Had a great time hosting the KC Pride Parade with

The game might be on CBS, but as your Home of the Chiefs, you’ll want to stay with KSHB 41 now, before the game, and after the game for content you won’t see anywhere else!
I got the sticker, I got the cool pen, but most importantly, I voted. Thank you to the poll watchers, poll workers and election officials who made the process go so smoothly. Now we are ready to bring the latest results here on

We are still 10 ft apart, but it’s a step in the right direction! I started this job mid-Pandemic, so

and I have never been at the anchor desk together.
Cheering on our 2 favorite teams! As a Chicago area native/lifelong Cubs fan turned Kansas Citian who also loves the Royals, I feel so conflicted! My oldest says she’s a Royals fan 1st, Cubs fan 2nd.
Filling in for the lovely

@kholmesKSHB
means working nightside. So, I took my girls hiking before work today! As you can see my oldest loved it. The little one is OVER the heat and humidity!😂
I might be a Bears fan, but I found myself cheering for the Chiefs last season, even before they made it to the Super Bowl. How can you not like Mahomes? Now that I’m here in KC I just might convert, just don’t tell my hubby! 😂
Christmas plans changed last minute, and had me feeling down that I couldn’t head home to Chicago. So, my husband stepped up and surprised me with/ a day of holiday fun and activities to cheer me up.❤️ It really is the little things. 🥹
Rocked the Parkway this morning! It ended up being a great day to run 13.1! A special thanks to all the people who lined the race course cheering us on. The funny signs and cute dogs gave me plenty to look at and made the miles fly by!

“Cumulus Media, which employs some of the most popular right-leaning talk-radio hosts in the United States, has told its on-air personalities to stop suggesting that the election was stolen from President Trump — or else face termination.”
Pictures of the two men killed yesterday. RIP Drexel Mack, a civil process server shot and killed trying to serve an eviction notice, as well as Officer Cody Allen who died trying to save Mack. 😢
MO State Rep said she didn't get vaccinated because it didn't have full FDA approval, and she'd been healthy since the pandemic began. Now she's asking for prayers for her husband who's on a ventilator w/ Covid while she also recovers from Covid at home.
This says a lot about our boss and management team. Our news director was here at 5 am, and is still here! When I came in at noon, he was out helping clean off employees' cars. When I say I love KSHB 41,

Huge shoutout to
@KSHB41
management. Our morning show was live from 4 am to 12 pm. It was a long morning. When I came back they were brushing snow off our cars and helping us get home safe. Oh and they also had snacks, hand warmers, and pizza for us. Thanks team!
A belated Christmas present from my 10 yr old, “matching friendship bracelets” she made us. I got the fries, she’s the cheeseburger. I promised her I’d wear it to work today. ❤️
Also, as a huge Ted Lasso and SNL fan, I was pretty stoked that I waved to Jason Sudeikis and he actually waved back. They’re great actors, and great human beings, raising money for kids w/ cancer and Children’s Mercy through

Softball season is officially over for the Knute girls! I’ve been off the 6pm news a lot the past couple months while I coached my 9 yr old’s softball team and my 11 yr old’s volleyball team. I’m so grateful my bosses worked w/ my schedule so I could coach and attend their games!
A huge thank you to
@LenexaPolice
and Chief Layman for giving my girls and me a tour of the station. As a mom, it’s important to me that my girls see women in leadership roles and know they, too, could be a police officer or even a Chief some day.
All ready for the last newscast of 2020! What are you most excited for in 2021? For me, I can’t wait for it be safe to see my parents again. They’re so high risk, I haven’t seen them in 6 months. More than anything, I’m looking forward to hugging them again. Happy New Year!
Great job to my friend and running partner

who was the emcee this year. Today I ran in honor of my parents who are both battling heart disease. ❤️
Thanks to my colleagues, many of whom came in on their holiday off, all to bring us extended coverage on this snow and ice. Great job, team! Stay safe out there, friends!
Guess who else is pulling for the Chiefs this weekend? THE Wolfgang Puck! We ate at his new restaurant Carama, and he said he’s siding with Chiefs Kingdom!
If you get a chance, give my good friend in the light blue a birthday shoutout! HBD
@mickshaffer
! Thanks for always making us laugh at work and letting me win at ping pong. 😉😂
Hey,
@DiaWall
, great minds think alike on this
#RedFriday
! Plus, we are smiling because we are finally back in the same studio together (but still socially distanced 20 ft apart.)
Starting off the New Year filling in on the early newscasts tonight! It didn’t snow as much as initially predicted, but we did get that freezing rain. And, with these frigid temperatures, the treatments on the roads aren’t as effective. So, it’s still a good idea to stay home!
Thanks
@CassieKSHB
and
@MikeNiccoKSHB41
for helping me pick the best day to get my long run in this weekend. Knocked out 12 on the trail, now heading home to catch the KU game!
This weekend my vball girls won, the Chiefs won, I miraculously finished my Xmas shopping, and I got a couple nice long runs in (thank you
@MikeNiccoKSHB41
for the great running weather today!) Not too shabby!
I’m so glad we were finally in town and able to attend this years Guns n’ Hoses, the boxing fundraiser between police and firefighters raising money for families of first responders killed in the line of duty. A great event for an important cause.
Did you get alert? First, there’s no Gotham City, MO. Second, that’s the joker’s car from the 1989 Batman movie.) Third, Missouri Highway Patrol says that was “a test” and was not meant to be sent out to the public.
Stayed up to watch my good buddy

share the latest snow predictions for tomorrow. Can’t say the same for the rest of the family. 😴 Happy New Year’s Friends! And thanks, Gary, for monitoring this storm!
The Chiefs are on the field warming up. That’s Travis in the lower middle. Even up here you can spot him by his big, yellow shoes. I looked up his shoe size, and he wears between size 14 and 15, and apparently loves sneakers as much as
