A group of guys from Kansas City have been charged with illegally trafficking firearms after a shooting at Union Station during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl celebration . The ATF and local law enforcement are cracking down on illegal gun purchases to keep the community safe . The police recovered several firearms from the crime scene , and are working diligently to hold those responsible for the violence accountable . So , basically , Manning and Williams bought a bunch of guns and some ended up in the wrong hands . The guns recovered from the mass shooting at Union Station were bought by Manning and Williams through some shady means . But hey , no one ' s saying they were the ones pulling the trigger . Just some illegal gun trafficking going on . Manning bought three guns that were later found with people who weren ' t allowed to have them . He also allegedly bought seven guns for someone who couldn ' t legally own them , which led to a larger investigation . Manning is facing charges for illegally selling guns and lying on federal forms . Another case involves Williams and Groves , who are accused of buying a gun for Groves when he was too young to do so legally . Groves claimed the gun was stolen , but investigators found a video showing multiple firearms . Both cases are being handled by federal prosecutors and were investigated by local law enforcement and ATF . The charges in these complaints are just accusations and not proof of guilt . Evidence must be presented to a federal trial jury to determine innocence or guilt . This case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods ( PSN ) , a program that aims to reduce violent crime and gun violence by bringing together law enforcement and communities . The Department of Justice launched a strategy on May 26 , 2021 , to strengthen PSN by focusing on building trust in communities , supporting organizations that prevent violence , setting enforcement priorities , and measuring results .
