According to the Kansas City Police Department, several people suffered injuries after gunfire ignited panic at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade on Tuesday in downtown Kansas City.
“At the conclusion of the rally there were shots fired west of Union Station near the garage and several people were struck,” KCPD Capt. Jake Becchina told the Kansas City Star.
The KCPD detained two “armed people.” The Kansas City Fire Department told ABC that one person is dead, and nine others are injured.
Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves later updated the number of those injured during a news conference.
“I’m angry at what happened today,” Graves said. “The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment.”
Following the incident, several members of the Chiefs have shared their thoughts on social media.
