No charges have yet been filed regarding the mass shooting in Kansas City, Missouri, on Wednesday — though police have detained multiple suspects.

Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves held a press conference on Thursday to update the press on the ongoing investigation, announcing that prosecutors were still working on bringing charges.

"We have not charged them yet. This is still under investigation. We do have 24 hours until we have to either file charges or release them," said Graves.

She continued, "And again, we are working closely with the Jackson County prosecutor's office to present the most successful case for prosecution to their actions with linking them to the actual shooting." 

Gunshots rang out during the Chiefs' victory parade at about 2 p.m. local time near the Union Station parking garage in Kansas City, killing one woman and injuring 22 others. The woman has been identified as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two and local radio DJ.

Eleven children were also wounded during the shooting, but were expected to recover as of Wednesday night. Nine of them were shot, while two sustained other injuries.

During a press conference Thursday afternoon, doctors with University Health said, of the eight gunshot victims they received, five of those were dismissed from the emergency department on Wednesday night, while three were still in the hospital. One patient was in stable condition. Two others were in critical condition in the ICU, but were said to be improving.

"The thing that makes us special is the medical director of KC Fire is an emergency medical physician here. She was at the scene and able to triage these patients… which ultimately allowed the sickest people to get to use first since we’re the closest hospital," Executive Chief Clinical Officer Dr. Mark Steele said. 

Dr. Steele described the first patient's condition as very lethal, saying most people that are injured as gravely as he was don't survive. 

"Had he not made it here as fast as he had, he might not be here with us now," Dr. Steele said.

Dr. Steele said he had improved overnight despite his life-threatening injuries.

Kansas City Police tell Fox News there are two juveniles currently in custody. A third juvenile was determined not to be involved and was released. Investigators are now working with juvenile prosecutors to review investigative findings to determine charges.

Authorities said "the relationship between the subjects involved is still under investigation" but that there is no evidence of links to terrorism.

"First and foremost, I want to stress that preliminary investigative findings have shown there was no nexus to terrorism or homegrown violent extremism," Graves said. "This appeared to be a dispute between several people that ended in gunfire."

Authorities also noted that despite initial reports speculating that the gunfire was erupting in multiple locations, this is no longer the belief of investigators and the violence was "mostly on the West side of Union Station."
