New video from the Kansas City shooting appears to show the exact moments before shots started to ring out — and as the cops have indicated, there are teenagers in the mix here.
TMZ has obtained footage that depicts the KC rally Wednesday at 1:48 PM CT — right around the time the first reports of a shooting came in — and eyewitnesses tell us that the young guys you see in the background got into a heated exchange with someone off camera.
There are a few key players to focus on — a teen in red, who you can see get angry and throw his bag down as he argues with someone who’s not in clear view. There’s also another teen in all black with a satchel-like bag hanging from his side, who walks toward the action.
These 2, in particular, were recorded walking away from the shooting just moments later — also seen in the footage we got — and the young man in black looks to have been shot.
We’re told by eyewitnesses who saw this that he appeared to have been shot in the face. If you look closely, his buddy in red is trailing close behind him as they beelined it outta there.
Going back to the main video … there are a couple other dudes who were pointed out to us who also seem to have been involved — one young guy in a brown jacket (who looks to be the same guy who got tackled in that now-viral video) and another guy in a black jacket and red beanie … whom we’re told appeared to be reaching for something in his coat.

Our sources tell us all the young guys you can see on camera here all looked to be rolling together as a group — and that they were bickering with a much taller and possibly older man off camera … who our eyewitnesses say definitely fired the first shots at them.
It’s not entirely clear if the young guys fired back, but we’re told people there believe they might have … although, you don’t see them pull out or use a gun at all in these videos.

Of course, in the aftermath of this … cops have only charged 2 individuals — juveniles as they’ve been described — with gun-related offenses, although more charges are likely to come.
The pieces of the puzzle are still falling into place … and there are more questions than answers right now. From the looks of it — this may have been an argument gone wrong.
Of course, it’s a tragedy regardless … as the shooting left one person dead, and almost two dozen others injured with gunshot wounds — many of whom were young children.

Tulane Football Must Overcome Unique Safety Role on Kansas State
![Tulane Football Must Overcome Unique Safety Role on Kansas State Tulane Football Must Overcome Unique Safety Role on Kansas State](https://images2.minutemediacdn.com/image/upload/c_crop,w_3463,h_1947,x_0,y_144/c_fill,w_1440,ar_16:9,f_auto,q_auto,g_auto/images/ImagnImages/mmsport/tulane_green_wave_on_si/01j6t8b13vrs79nf7cnv.jpg)
While Tulane football is solidifying an identity on offense under a new quarterback, they face a difficult test against Kansas State in pass coverage.
The team has momentum following their 52-0 season opener victory, and while the Big 12 is a markedly different opponent than the FCS, Tulane’s shown the ability to hang with the big dogs.
Their victory in Kansas State in 2022 was the single best-game display of tackling I’ve ever seen, with Tulane’s fourth down stops sealing the victory. The 17-10 final score exemplified the struggles both offenses faced on the day.
The Wildcats’ quarterback struggled as the Green Wave shut down his mobility and top back, Deuce Vaughn. This season, Avery Johnson is a more credible passer to face.
The real test for the team is how they fare against the Wildcats secondary and their unique employment of three-safety shells. Michael Pratt struggled to generate a passing game when he faced them, as evidenced by his 13 completions, one touchdown, and two interceptions.
Kansas State runs a 3-3-5 base defense, with eight players in coverage. That unit returns eight starters and five of their six leading tacklers. Joe Klanderman enters his fifth season as the team’s defensive coordinator and sixth-year coaching safeties—apt for his defensive strength.
Prior to the 2021 season, Klanderman overhauled their defense, going from a four-man front to the 3-3-5 structure for the first time in his career. That structure has three safeties: strong, free, and jack safety.
Two-year starter at the role Kobe Savage, now at Oregon, described the role on Kansas State’s website last season:
“A jack is like if a 4-2-5 defense had a middle linebacker, that’s what a 3-3-5 defense is for the jack,” Savage said. “It’s just an extra middle linebacker who can play anywhere from the boundary to the field, who can come down in the box, who can blitz, and who can play man defense. They call it a ‘jack’ because it’s a ‘jack of all trades.’ You can do whatever.”
A jack of all trades is otherwise known as a nightmare for opponents, especially this early in the season, with a new player in the role. Transfer Jordan Riley from Ball State is the one to watch next Saturday at Yulman Stadium.
Riley was a high school wrestler who switched from defensive tackle to defensive back, and it shows in his physicality and playmaking ability. In his last season at Ball State, he had 61 tackles, 3 TFL, eight pass deflections, and a fumble recovery.
Ultimately, he’s only going to be in his second start as a jack safety, something he’d never played anything close to in his career. That gives Tulane an opportunity to take advantage of some inexperience there—but shutting down that third jack safety will be key.
Tulane wants to establish their ground game, so they’ll need to keep Riley out of reach through downfield blocking. The offense wasn’t incredibly creative with their run plays in the season opener but will have to lean on their rush attack to beat the Wildcats. The passing game will need to be sharp, smart, and focused on protecting the football.
Reading Jordan Riley’s role in three-safety shell coverage will be key for Darian Mensah, but so will opportunities to tuck it and run like Pratt. It’s then up to the team, especially the wide receivers, to get out in front and shut Riley out. The Green Wave’s path to victory against Kansas State and their scheme rests on their ability to execute cleanly and defeat a unique position at jack safety.
