What was supposed to be a festive and joyous occasion turned to horror and senseless tragedy when a personal dispute erupted into gunfire at the Kansas City Chiefs victory rally on Wednesday, February 14. The lone victim who lost her life was Lisa Lopez-Galvan, 43, a mother of two, local radio DJ, and a parishioner at Sacred Heart-Guadalupe Parish in Kansas City.
Father Luis Suárez, parochial administrator of Sacred Heart-Guadalupe Parish, encouraged the community to unite in prayer for Lopez-Galvan and her family amid the tragedy. “It has been a big tragedy and loss for our community … a moment of tears and sorrow. May the Lord comfort those who are affected by this situation,” the priest said.
