The barrage of executive orders out of the White House can be hard to keep up with—and mayors of blue cities must decide which ones to fight, which ones to go along with, and which ones to try to change.So it's an interesting—and challenging—time to be Mayor Quinton Lucas, the 55th mayor of Kansas City, Missouri. He's having to navigate what all of Trump's actions mean for the city he governs, one of the 40 largest in the country. And as a Democratic mayor in a Republican-dominated state, he has to deal with his state's government as well—sometimes confrontationally, and sometimes cooperatively.As he goes about his work, “Mayor Q” draws upon his legal training and experience—as an Eighth Circuit clerk, practicing litigator, and law professor at the University of Kansas. And he's ultimately optimistic about the future—including February 9, when his city's powerhouse football team will go up against the Philadelphia Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.

Authorities in Kansas City revealed shocking details of a mass shooting that unfolded amidst the celebratory atmosphere of the Chiefs' Super Bowl victory parade. Police Chief Stacey Graves disclosed that the incident, which occurred outside Union Station, appeared to have stemmed from a dispute among several individuals. According to Graves, the toll of the shooting stands at 22 injured individuals, ranging from 8 to 47 years old, with half of them under the age of 16. Tragically, a mother of two lost her life in the chaos. Despite the presence of over 800 police officers in and around the area, including atop nearby structures, the shooting still occurred. Mayor Quinton Lucas, who was present at the celebration with his family, expressed dismay over the incident, highlighting the ongoing threat of mass shootings across the nation. Eyewitnesses recounted moments of confusion and terror as gunshots shattered the festive atmosphere. Gene Hamilton, a witness from Wichita, Kansas, expressed his disbelief that the upbeat rally music continued amidst the chaos, while others scrambled for safety. A witness from Overland Park, Kansas, described the initial disbelief and subsequent confusion among the crowd as the shots rang out, leaving many unsure of what had transpired. The incident marks another dark chapter in sports celebrations tainted by gun violence across the United States. Social media footage captured the panic and horror that ensued as police rushed to secure the area and attendees fled for cover. One hero emerged amidst the chaos, as Trey Filter of Wichita, Kansas, recounted how he and another individual restrained a suspect until police arrived. Filter's actions potentially prevented further harm, demonstrating the bravery and resilience of the community in the face of adversity. The victim of the shooting was identified as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, known as ''Lisa G,'' a beloved figure in the local Latino community. Friends remembered her as an extroverted and selfless individual who would always put others before herself. Kansas City has long grappled with gun violence, and despite efforts to enhance security measures, such as the deployment of additional law enforcement personnel, incidents like these continue to occur. Mayor Lucas reiterated the need for stricter gun control measures to prevent such tragedies from recurring. The aftermath of the shooting left numerous individuals hospitalized, with some still in critical condition. Hospitals have been inundated with victims, including children, highlighting the devastating impact of gun violence on communities. As Kansas City grapples with the aftermath of this senseless act, questions linger about the safety of future celebrations and the broader issue of gun violence plaguing society.
