"Legal implications and support efforts emerge for suspects in Kansas City parade shooting"

TL;DR Summary
Two men accused of firing shots at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl rally claim self-defense under Missouri's "stand your ground" law, despite leaving one dead and many injured. Experts say the state's broad self-defense rights could provide a formidable defense for the shooters, but there are limits to the law. The case raises questions about how far people can go to protect themselves and the racial disparities in invoking the defense. The shooting comes amid ongoing debates over gun laws and self-defense in the U.S.
