Dramatic Video: Heroic Chiefs Fans Tackle Fleeing Suspect Gunman after Super Bowl Parade Shooting.
Brave Kansas City Chiefs fans tackled a suspected gunman today as he attempted to flee cops after a shooting at the Super Bowl parade, a new video has revealed.
Three gunmen opened fire inside Union Station moments after the team including Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes left the stage on what should have been a triumphant day for the city following the Chiefs victory in Las Vegas on Sunday.
At least one person was killed and 22 others were injured as fans, including young children, ran from the gunfire. Unconfirmed reports stated that some of the casualties were rushed to nearby Children's Mercy Hospital.
Amid the terror, a heroic group of men were seen taking down one of the suspected perpetrators. They hauled the alleged gunman to the ground and then shouted 'We got the gun.' The men held down the suspect until cops arrived to detain him.
The identities of the three gunmen have not yet been confirmed and no motive has been given for the attack. One of those detained was pictured in a red hoodie sitting on a curb with his hands cuffed behind his back.
It came just moments after superstars including the quarterback, Mahomes, greeted fans following the team's historic 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers. The team was on buses returning to Arrowhead Stadium when the shooting started.
A heartbroken Mahomes later took to social media to offer his condolences. 'Praying for Kansas City,' he wrote.
The White House said in a statement: 'The President has been briefed on the shooting in Kansas City and will continue to receive updates.
'White House officials have been in touch with state and local leaders, and federal law enforcement is supporting local law enforcement.'
Police evacuated the train station as huge crowds fled in panic after the shots rang out, with up to one million people expected to have descended on Kansas City for the parade.
Fans were seen scrambling from the scene, with several people wheeled away in stretchers.
Player Drue Tranquill said on X shortly after the shooting: 'Please join me in prayer for all the victims in this heinous act.
'Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands & all would experience full healing.'
Kansas City Fire reportedly said that of those injured, five were 'serious', three were 'critical', and one person had non-life-threatening injuries.
Kansas City Police Department chief Stacey Graves said at a press conference: 'After the Chiefs' rally today, there were shots fired on the west side of Union Station.
'Immediately, officers responded to the area, took two people into custody and also immediately rendered life-sustaining aid to those victims.
'We're still gathering information on the number and the status of victims. We know that one of the victims is deceased.
