Lou DiBella calls for God’s help

CBS News recently captured the nation’s attention with a tweet, stating, “For Lisa Lopez-Galvan, music was ‘life and a source of happiness.’ The Kansas City radio host of KKFI’s ‘Taste of Tejano’ was killed during a mass shooting at the end of the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade, an incident that left at least 21 others wounded.” According to The Economic Times, this tragic event unfolded outside Union Station, a place meant for celebration, not sorrow. Despite the presence of over 800 officers, the gunfire shattered the joyous atmosphere, resulting in a devastating loss and multiple injuries.

In response, Lou DiBella, a renowned promoter, took to Twitter to express his grief and frustration. “Prayers for the family of Lisa Lopez-Galvan, particularly for her two motherless kids. Our world is upside down; a parade, a school event, a church gathering, shopping at a mall… there is no freedom from gun violence anywhere in America 2024. God help us because WE WON’T!” DiBella’s words resonate deeply, highlighting a pervasive issue in American society.

Her friends and family told the Kansas City Star how much she was loved. “She was a local DJ. She did everybody’s weddings. We all know her. She was so full of life,”. The Kansas City Police, led by Chief Stacey Graves, acted swiftly, detaining three suspects and recovering firearms. Yet, the motive behind this heinous act remains a mystery.

This incident adds to a growing list of public spaces tarnished by violence, underlining an urgent need for reflection and action. DiBella’s poignant commentary and the CBS News tweet serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of inaction, urging a reevaluation of the societal norms that allow such tragedies to occur.
