Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid has broken his silence on the shooting that took place during the team’s Super Bowl victory parade earlier this month.
The incident claimed the life of Elizabeth Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two, and injured dozens of others.
Reid addressed the matter in front of reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine this Thursday, expressing sorrow over the death.
“I want to share my condolences for the Galvan and Lopez family for their loss of Lisa, and for the people of Kansas City,” he said as he opened his press conference, per NFL.com. “She was a personality there, and a very good human being, first of all. We’ll all miss her, as I know her family will.”
The three-time Super Bowl-winning head coach also had a message for Kansas City.
“Just a positive word on Kansas City,” he continued. “That’s not what Kansas City is all about — and for our youth of America, that we gather together and make this great, you’re our future and as great as we can make this place, we want to do that. So we can turn this, which was a negative, into a real positive. With just a little togetherness and love we can fix a lot of problems.”
