Friend says felon found with gun at Chiefs rally was trying to help

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — We’re learning more about a third person arrested at Union Station in the aftermath of the shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade and rally who was also charged.

Police aren’t connecting Jose Castillo, 36, to the shooting. But he does face a firearm charge and was arrested very close to the shooting scene.

Meanwhile, friends and family Jose Castillo should be hailed as a hero instead of being behind bars.

In the 48 hours since Lisa Lopez Galvin was killed and 22 others were shot victims and witnesses have been waiting on answers.
