The US state of Missouri’s House of Representatives passed a law on Monday to ban celebratory gunfire in cities, less than a week after a deadly shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade.

Kansas City police have said the shooting appeared to stem from a dispute between several people and not celebratory gunfire.
