The Kansas City Chiefs’ celebratory Super Bowl 2024 parade in Kansas City, Mo., took a dark turn.

Multiple people were shot at Union Station on Wednesday, according to several reports. Kansas City police chief Stacey Graves confirmed in a press conference that one of those victims had died.

Mayor Quinton Lucas added that Chiefs players and staff members are all safe and accounted for.

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.”

Local Kansas City news anchor Dia Wall then posted via X that police confirmed “10 shooting victims today. Multiple children being treated at Children’s Mercy Hospital.”

Pvnew has not independently confirmed those numbers.

Chaos ensued earlier on Wednesday 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.

Officers then advised parade attendants, “Anyone nearby needs to leave the area as quickly and safely as possible to facilitate treatment of the shooting victims.

“Please avoid the Union Station parking garage area to allow first responders through.”

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 NFL championship win against the San Francisco 49ers during Super Bowl Sunday.

He appeared in good spirits during the parade and, at one point, took the mic to sing a Super Bowl-themed rendition of Garth Brooks’ “Friends in Low Places.”

Early on, it appeared the players were all safe from harm Wednesday as sports reporter Andrew Stockey tweeted, “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.”
