Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade ends in chaos after shots fired near Union Station as cops rush to clear area
THE victory parade for the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win has ended in chaos after at least one person opened fire near the main stage at Union Station.
The parade erupted in chaos after shots were fired at Union Station, causing people to rush out of the area.
Police said multiple people were hit by bullets but have not yet confirmed whether there were any deaths.
“At the conclusion of the rally there were shots fired west of Union Station near the garage and several people were struck,” Capt. Jake Becchina, a spokesman for the Kansas City Police Department told the Kansas City Star.
“We need people to exit the area as quickly and safely as possible and avoid the parking garage in order to facilitate treatment of shooting victims,” Becchina said.
Officers have detained two armed people for more investigation, according to Becchina.
Shocking video showed police rushing in as sports fans scrambled for their own safety. At one point, people can be seen jumping over fences to get away.
"Officers are working to clear Union Station itself. We will release everyone inside the building once that is complete. We are still trying to determine the number of shooting victims," the police revealed on X formerly known as twitter.
A parade attendee claimed to gave heard a shot near a security post by the east stage.
“It was someone within feet of me,” said Shawn Grew, 46, of Garden City told reporter Eric Adler, of the Kansas City Star.
