Patrick and Brittany Mahomes stopped by a children’s hospital Thursday to visit some of the children wounded in the tragic shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl parade.

The couple were photographed at Children’s Mercy in Missouri at the bedside of two young girls, ages 8 and 10, both of whom were shot in the legs, per KMBC News.

The girls, whose names have not been released, are the daughters of Elizabeth “Lisa” Lopez-Galvan’s cousin. Lopez-Galvan died from gunshot wounds sustained at Wednesday’s rally.

The family thanked the Mahomes and the hospital staff “for their outpouring [of] care, love and support” in a statement shared with the outlet Friday.

They also noted that the two girls are making progress in their recovery; however, they are expected to remain in casts for several months.

“While we are relieved by their progress, the emotional healing continues for all of us,” the family said.

“The girls were celebrating with many family members when they were senselessly injured. We kindly ask that you continue to keep our family and the other families affected in your thoughts and prayers.”

While it is unclear whether Patrick and Brittany, both 28, visited any other children while at the hospital, half of the 23 people injured were under the age of 16.

Two juveniles were charged Friday with crimes connected to the shooting.

The entire Chiefs team was rushed away from the scene after shots were fired Wednesday.

Many of them — including the Mahomes as well as Travis Kelce — then met up at a local restaurant, where they were photographed still celebrating their big win at Sunday’s championship game.

Despite facing backlash for appearing to be in good spirits amid the tragedy, they all later took to their social media pages to express their heartbreak over the situation.

“I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today,” Kelce, 34, tweeted Wednesday night. “My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me.”

Although the tight end’s girlfriend, Taylor Swift, was not at the parade, she donated $100,000 to Lopez-Galvan’s family.

“Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences in the wake of your devastating loss,” the pop star, also 34, wrote underneath her contribution on their GoFundMe. “With love, Taylor Swift.”

Patrick, for his part, simply said he was “Praying for Kansas City.”

Brittany also spoke out about the “horrible and traumatizing” incident on her Instagram Story.

“Shooting people is never the answer,” she wrote. “Praying for Kansas City & America in general, this is rough.

“Highly embarrassed and disappointed in this, Super Bowl wins will never be the same because of this, it’s devastating,” the WAG continued.

“Lives lost and people injured during something that was suppose [sic] to be a celebration.”
