View Date:2024-12-24 00:46:34
A parade celebrating Kansas City Chiefs' recent Super Bowl win has ended on a tragic note.
Multiple people were shot and injured when gunfire erupted near Union Station at the end of a Feb. 14 rally for the NFL team, according to authorities.
One person was killed and at least 10 were wounded and taken to local hospitals, Kansas City Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins told NBC News, adding that two other people with gunshot wounds walked to a nearby medical center on their own. He further noted that condition of those injured ranged from critical to non-threatening.
In the wake of the shooting, two armed people were detained for more information, the Kansas City Police Department told the outlet.
Authorities did not identify those who were in custody.
Police are asking civilians to stay clear of the affected area so first responders can provide medical aid.
Among those celebrating the Chiefs' Feb. 11 Super Bowl win alongside Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes and the team was Kansas Governor Laura Kelly. "I have been evacuated and am out of harm's way," she wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, shortly after the shooting. "I encourage everyone to follow instructions and updates from @kcpolice. Please stay safe."
Meanwhile, in a separate statement of their own posted to social media, Missouri Governor Mike Parson and his wife Teresa Parson said they were also "safe and secure."
"State law enforcement personnel are assisting local authorities in response efforts," the couple continued. "As we wait to learn more, our hearts go out to the victims."
In the aftermath, several Chiefs players spoke out on social media, with Mahomes writing on X that he was "praying for Kansas City."
Linebacker Drue Tranquill condemned the fatal incident as a "heinous act."
"Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands," he wrote, "& that all would experience full healing."
