View Date:2024-12-23 21:39:04
All Kansas City Chiefs "players, coaches and staff are accounted for" following the mass shooting at their Super Bowl parade on Valentine's Day, according to Kansas City mayor Quinton Lucas who said during a news conference she spoke with the organization.
“We went out today like everyone in Kansas City, looking to have a celebration,” Lucas said. “That celebration was marred by a shooting today. This is absolutely a tragedy the likes of which we would have never expected in Kansas City and the likes of which we remember for some time.”
Lucas didn't answer when asked if any Chiefs players were in danger, but said "a number of us had to flee from a situation because we heard a sound of gunshots."

“I'm angry at what happened today,” Graves said. “The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment… This tragedy occurred even in the presence of uniformed law enforcement officers.”
The shooting happened just as the Super Bowl parade was wrapping up and the crowd began to leave the area.
Several players at the parade offered prayers and condolences for the city and the people injured.
Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes said he is “praying for Kansas City” alongside several prayer hand emojis. Mahomes is coming off winning his third career Super Bowl MVP award Sunday in Super Bowl 58.
“Please join me in prayer for all the victims in this heinous act. Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands & that all would experience full healing,” teammate Dru Tranquill added.
