Today was supposed to be a day about love and celebration. Then, it turned to horror.
Multiple people were struck by gunfire in Kansas City, Missouri, on Wednesday during a Super Bowl victory parade for the Kansas City Chiefs. The Kansas City fire department confirmed that a shooting had occurred close to Union Station in the city and referred to a “fluid situation.”
Gabe Wallace, a sophomore at Shawnee Mission East, would soon speak to reporters and tell a story of hearing the shots and police telling everybody where to run. In the midst of it all, he stated Chiefs head coach Andy Reid ended up comforting him.
The parade rally was taking place directly outside Union Station.
Thousands were in Kansas City to celebrate the Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Las Vegas on Sunday.
As of right now, one person has died and three people have been taken into custody.
