(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that one person has died and at least 21 others were injured by gunfire in a shooting following the parade and rally for the Chiefs' Super Bowl win. However, this statement is misleading because it implies that all of these injuries occurred during or immediately after the parade when in fact some of them may have been caused by other incidents. Secondly, it states that three suspects have been detained for investigation but does not provide any information about their identities or motives. This lack of transparency is concerning and could be seen as an attempt to deceive readers into believing that the authorities are taking action when in fact they may not be doing so effectively. Finally, it states that KKFI DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed in the incident but does not provide any information about how she died or who is responsible for her death. This lack of detail and context makes it difficult to draw meaningful conclusions from this statement.
The article claims that one person has died and at least 21 others were injured by gunfire in a shooting following the parade and rally for the Chiefs' Super Bowl win. However, some of these injuries may have been caused by other incidents.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author uses sensationalist language such as 'mass shooting' and 'one person dead', which creates a false sense of urgency and danger for readers without providing any context or details about the incident. Secondly, the author quotes witnesses who claim to have seen multiple people being shot but does not provide any specific information on how many were actually killed or injured. This is an example of selective reporting as it only reports details that support the author's position while ignoring other important facts. Thirdly, there are no peer-reviewed studies cited in the article to back up any claims made about the incident, which makes it difficult for readers to verify the accuracy of the information presented.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by citing the statements of police officials and hospital staff without providing any evidence or context for their claims. Additionally, the author uses inflammatory rhetoric when describing the shooting as a 'massacre' and a 'tragedy', which is not supported by the facts presented in the article.
Police Chief Stacy Graves stated that one person was dead and 22 people were wounded, including nine children. This statement is an appeal to authority because it comes from a police official, but there is no evidence provided to support these claims.
Bias
(85%)
The article contains a statement from the police chief that nine of the victims were children. This is an example of disproportionate numbers and can be seen as biased towards portraying the shooting as more tragic because it involved children.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Lisa Lopez-Galvan was killed during surgery for a gunshot wound to her abdomen. However, this information is not supported by any evidence presented in the article and may be misleading readers who do not have access to additional sources of information.

This could potentially manipulate readers into feeling a strong emotional response towards Lisa Lopez-Galvan without fully understanding the circumstances of her death. Lastly, the article does not disclose sources and only provides quotes from unnamed individuals which makes it difficult to verify any information presented in the article.

The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by stating that Lisa Lopez-Galvan was a local DJ and worked as the co-host of Tejano Tuesday. This statement implies that she is an expert in her field and therefore her opinions should be trusted without question. However, this does not necessarily mean that everything she said or believed about the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting is accurate.

The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that one person has died and 21 others were wounded by gunfire at the end of the Chiefs victory parade. However, this statement is not entirely accurate as there are conflicting reports about how many people have actually been killed or injured.
The article states that 21 people have been wounded by gunfire but does not specify how many are in critical condition and how many have minor injuries. This is deceptive as it gives a false sense of urgency without providing accurate information.
The article claims that one person has died but it does not specify who that person was and if they were part of the crowd at the parade or a member of law enforcement. This is deceptive as it creates an impression that someone from the Chiefs team was killed, which may not be true.
