Read the Full Transcript

• Amna Nawaz:

  One person is dead tonight and up to 15 hurt after Kansas City's Super Bowl victory parade ended in a burst of gunfire.

• Geoff Bennett:

  It's unclear how many of the injured have gunshot wounds, but police say two suspects were arrested.

  A sea of red and gold had flooded the city's downtown as players paraded on double-decker buses. Then shooting broke out near the scene and people in the crowd, including the mayor, started running.

• Woman:

  All of a sudden, people started crushing forward. Everybody started running. There was screaming. We didn't know what was happening, but, in this day and age, when people run, you run.

  And so I put my arms around her, and we tried to push through, so people wouldn't run on top of us. And there was a woman crying, saying something about somebody had been shot.

• Geoff Bennett:

  The Chiefs said their players were already on buses heading back to their stadium when the shooting started. Police had no initial details on what the motive might have been.

  In the day's other headlines: Ukraine's military announced it attacked and sank a Russian worship in the Black Sea using naval drones. It happened a few miles off the coast of Crimea near Alupka. Russia annexed that peninsula back in 2014.

  The Ukrainians released night-vision video purportedly showing an explosion that blew a hole in the side of the amphibious landing ship. The vessel could then be seen turned on its side. It's the second time in two weeks that Ukraine has claimed it sank a Russian ship.

  Family members of Israeli hostages urged prosecutors at the International Criminal Court today to go after Hamas leaders. They argued that heads of the group should be charged and arrested for genocide and other crimes in the October 7 attacks in Southern Israel.

  At a rainy news conference at The Hague, the hostage relatives demanded accountability and justice for those still held in Gaza.

  Yamit Ashkenazi, Sister of Israeli Hostage: The world must wake up. The world needs to know that my sister is in a tunnel somewhere cold and hungry, without medication, and exposed to sexual violence for 131 days.

• Geoff Bennett:

  The court's chief prosecutor says he's already investigating alleged crimes committed by both sides in the war.

  Here at home, New York's highest court heard Harvey Weinstein's appeal today of his landmark rape conviction. The former movie mogul's case came at the dawn of the MeToo movement. His lawyers argue that Weinstein was denied a fair trial because the judge succumbed to intense pressure to make an example of him. He's currently serving a 23-year sentence in state prison.

  Thousands of Uber and Lyft drivers staged a Valentine's Day strike across the U.S. and Britain today. Workers in Chicago and elsewhere hit the picket lines demanding better pay, benefits and working conditions. They also rallied outside major airports to voice their frustration.

• Jocilyn Floyd, Uber Driver:

  Uber has proven time and time again that they're putting profits over people, right? In shareholder meetings, they discuss profits. There's no question about safety, protection from deactivation or compensation. Drivers have been losing money for years.

• Geoff Bennett:

  The one-day strike was time to cut into Valentine's traffic tonight, but Uber said it does not expect the walkout to have much impact.

  And, on Wall Street, stocks recovered from Tuesday's sell-off. The Dow Jones industrial average gained 151 points to close at 38424. The Nasdaq rose 203 points, and the S&P 500 added 47.
