Police said they released everyone in Union Square about 15 minutes after the shooting.
The live broadcast on KSHB 41 showed crowds outside Union Station, where the parade ended, dispersing quickly with some jumping barriers to make a hasty escape.
Presenters said members of the crowd told them to get down and people ran inside. They added that crew members said they heard a number of loud noises before fans began fleeing the scene near the museum and World War I memorial.
