nt those families to know they are not alone. Our officers and investigators will continue working to understand exactly what happened. 

McPherson, Kansas, mayor Jim Loving issued this statement on Sunday afternoon:

 On Saturday afternoon, two of our own - a 6-year-old boy and a 35-year-old man - were killed at a youth soccer game in Wichita. Eleven more were taken to hospitals, several of them children.

There is nothing I can say that makes that right.

To the families who lost someone: this whole town is grieving with you, and we will stand with you for as long as it takes. To the injured and their families: we are praying for your recovery.

Thank you to the bystanders who stepped in before the first ambulance arrived, and to the first responders in Wichita and here at home. Wichita Mayor Lily Wu has reached out to express her condolences to our community, and we are grateful for her support.

In the days ahead, give these families their privacy.

McPherson Public Schools (USD 418) has communicated directly with families. Counselors and support staff will be in every building Monday.

McPherson takes care of each other. We will get through this together. 

Anyone with information is asked to contact Wichita police at 316-268-4407 or Crime Stoppers at 316-267-2111.
