A witness said Friday that one of the suspects was missing part of his jaw after Wednesday’s shooting.
Navy veteran Tony Janssens told Fox News Digital how he ran into some of the suspects while fleeing to safety after shots rang out.
‘[One of the suspects] He turns around and is shot in the jaw. He’s basically missing his jaw and he’s crazy,” Janssen said.
‘He doesn `t know what to do. He doesn `t know what to do. And then his friends fight. They all say, they don’t know if they should keep running or help his friend, since he is bleeding now.
Janssens wasn’t sure if the suspect was a victim or one of the shooters, but he followed his military training and kept his eyes on the wounded man.
Other images also show the man in the brown jacket being detained by passersby at the parade after the shooting.

Trey Filter, a father of two, was seen tackling the man in the brown jacket along with Omaha resident Paul Contreras.
Explaining how he managed to grab the suspected shooter, Trey said, “I turn around and I see a flash and I think, I hope it’s him.”
“The only thing I remember is that I barely saw the guy and I couldn’t believe I had caught him. I remember thinking ‘man, I hope it’s him.’
Contreras, who attended the event with his daughter Alyssa, was caught on video by his daughter lunging toward the suspect.
“One guy was yelling, saying, you know, ‘stop him, grab him, tackle him or whatever,'” Contreras recalled, as footage from others showed the actual entrance in real time.
“And he barely runs,” he continued. “And out of nowhere I heard this guy scream, so I said, ‘Okay, I’m here.’
The obedient father continued: ‘I didn’t think about that. It’s just a reaction. I didn’t hesitate, just do it.’

It was announced on Friday that two teenagers had been charged as juveniles following the shooting.
The suspects, who have not yet been identified by authorities, are charged with weapons-related offenses and resisting arrest, the Jackson County Family Court division said.
“It is anticipated that additional charges are expected in the future as the investigation by the Kansas City Police Department continues,” the Juvenile Officer’s Office said in a statement.
Missouri law dictates that juvenile hearings are not open to the public. Suspects may be charged as adults if charged with a serious crime.
A third juvenile initially believed to be involved has since been determined to be unrelated to the shooting and has been released.
Chief Graves said Friday: ‘Our investigators have thrown themselves into this investigation and it continues.
“We will not relent until all those who may have participated in these crimes are arrested so they can be punished to the fullest extent of the law.”
