The shots were fired west of Union Station, the train station in downtown Kansas City, which was close to thousands of fans who had gathered for the victory parade on Wednesday.
The parade ended outside Union Station around 14:00 local time (20:00 GMT), and local reports said Kansas City Chiefs players were still on a stage when shots were first fired.
The gunfire caused the watching crowd, including the city’s mayor and his family members, to run for cover.
The Kansas City Super Bowl parade, intended to be a day of triumph and celebration, turned into a somber reminder of the fragility of life. The resilience of the Kansas City community shines through as they come together to support the victims and their families during this difficult time.
In conclusion, more than 800 police officers were already on the scene to monitor the parade, officials said, including on top of buildings to ensure the safety of those who had gathered to watch. The city’s fire department was also present to provide medical attention if needed.
