The Kansas City Chiefs’ celebratory Super Bowl 2024 parade in Kansas City, Mo., took a dark turn.
Multiple people were shot at Union Square, according to several reports.
Reporter Marcus Officer for Fox News in Kansas City tweeted at 3:27 p.m. ET, “1 person has died, and at least 9 people hurt in shooting in Downtown KC. KCPD have 3 people in custody.” Page Six has not independently confirmed those numbers.
Chaos ensued as the crowd of thousands of fans and concerned parents tried to “get their kids out” of the area, per local news outlet KSHB 41.
Kansas City Police confirmed via X around 3 p.m. ET that “shots have been fired” and asked guests to “please leave the area.”
“Officers are working to clear Union Station itself. We will release everyone inside the building once that is complete,” they added in a separate tweet.
“We are still trying to determine the number of shooting victims.”
Police also said they have taken “two armed people into custody for more investigation” but more information about the suspects have not yet been released.
It’s unclear what set off the shooting, which took place shortly after Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes took the stage to ring in their championship win against the San Francisco 49ers last Sunday.
It appears the players are sage, though, as sports reporter Andrew Stockey tweeted Wednesday, “Spoke with family for Chiefs receiver and South Fayette grad Justin Watson.
“He tells his family the players and the players’ families who were inside Union Station are safe #ChiefsParade.”
