After one person died and at least 22 were injured during a shooting after the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade on Wednesday, the team is being hailed for its response in the immediate aftermath. 

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported that the players had been “UNBELIEVABLE calming panicked kids down.” 

The NFL insider specifically pointed out Blaine Gabbert, Trey Smith, Austin Reiter and Chris Oladukun. 

“Smith went to one upset kid, gave him the WWE title belt and sat with him til he calmed down,” Breer posted on X. 

Breer later added: “A lot of people impressed with what [Smith] and your teammates did on that bus.” 

The shooting occurred near Union Station just after the team’s Super Bowl rally had wrapped up. 

The team confirmed that the players, staff and their families were all accounted for. 

Three people are in custody in connection with the shooting, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves confirmed during a news conference. 

In a statement released by the Chiefs, the team had called the incident a “senseless act of violence” and were “saddened” by the event.

“Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all of Kansas City,” the Chiefs said in the statement. “We are in close communication with the Mayor’s office as well as the Kansas City Police Department.” 

A number of Chiefs players have responded to the tragedy in posts on X. 

“My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by today’s incidents—a huge thank you to the first responders who ran towards the sound of danger. You’re the ones who should be celebrated today,” Smith wrote. 

The city had expected roughly one million people to attend Wednesday’s celebration and more than 800 police officers were on site.
