The interaction happened just before 7 p.m. CT, according to TMZ, which is several hours after the Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl victory parade ended abruptly when shots rang out near Union Station. 

In several press conference updates, Police Chief Stacey Graves confirmed at least 22 known victims were being treated for injuries, and one was dead.

At least 12 victims were children, according to Stephanie Meyer, the senior vice president and chief nursing officer at Children’s Mercy Hospital, NBC News reported.

Graves said three people were taken into custody for further investigation. A motive for the shooting remains unclear.

She confirmed that no NFL players or coaches at the event were injured.

Kelce addressed the horrifying situation on X, writing, “I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me.”

A few hours before him, Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said he was “Praying for Kansas City… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽,” while his wife, Brittany, shared a message of her own.

“Shooting people is never the answer,” the mom of two wrote on her Instagram Story. “Praying for Kansas City & America in general, this is rough.”

She added that she feels “highly embarrassed” and “disappointed” over the situation and upset that a happy event took such a “horrible” and “traumatizing” turn.

The Kansas City Chiefs also expressed their regret in an official statement, saying they were “truly saddened by the senseless act of violence” that occurred at the end of the parade, which was in celebration of their victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night.

Ahead of the gunfire, Kelce drunkenly and merrily belted out a rendition of Garth Brooks’ 1990 song “Friends in Low Places.” 

Mahomes appeared to be holding him up as he encouraged the crowd to sing along.
