Shocking moment Kansas City fans tackle ‘suspect’ to the ground after shooting killed one and hurt at least 22
VIDEO shows the heroic moment fans tackled someone they believed to be a suspect in a mass shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' victory parade.
Cops said three people were in custody after the shooting that killed one person and injured at least 22 others, including children, at Union Station.
“FBI and KCPD are requesting any videos from the Super Bowl shooting and any video of shooters attempting to flee the scene,” the website said.
Horrific photos showed fans ducking for cover and jumping fences as they tried to escape the gunfire.
The mayor, Quinton Lucas, was at the celebration with his wife and mom and they all had to run for cover.
The chaos unfolded despite there being more than 800 cops in the area for the parade and rally.
One of the victims who was killed has been identified as Chiefs fan Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mom-of-two and local DJ.
She died during surgery after being shot in the abdomen, according to reports.
The dad said he heard a single shot fired near a security post that was east of the stage outside Union Station - the city's cultural center and Amtrak hub.
High school student Gabe Wallace ran from the gunfire and scraped his head on the concrete while jumping a barrier.
He said he thought his friends were going to die when he lost track of them.
“Our hearts go out to the victims and their families, and all of Kansas City. ...
“At this time, we have confirmed that all of our players, coaches, staff, and their families are safe and accounted for.
“We thank the local law enforcement officers and first responders who were on-scene to assist.”
Chiefs star quarterback Patrick Mahomes wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that he was praying for Kansas City.
Just moments before the shooting, Mahomes was seen holding back his friend and teammate Travis Kelce who was excitedly giving a speech.
Each year, the Super Bowl winner receives a parade. This was the third time in the last five years that it was hosted in Kansas City.
On Wednesday, the Chiefs players arrived on double-decker buses, waving to fans as they drove threw the city.
“I’m angry at what happened today. The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment,” Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said after the tragedy.
