Kansas City police reveal all Chiefs players, coaches and staff accounted for following parade shooting

All Kansas City Chiefs players, coaches and staff have been accounted for following the shooting that occurred the team’s Super Bowl parade on Wednesday, according to KC police, via NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

10 people were injured during the shooting, including one fatality. Two people are in custody, per PC police.

Captain Jake Becchina, a spokesman for the KC Police Department provided more.

“At the conclusion of the rally there were shots fired west of Union Station near the garage and several people were struck,” he said, via the KC 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.”

When the incident first occurred, the KC social media account on X expanded on the situation on hand.

“Shots have been fired around Union Station. Please leave the area,” the account read. 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.

“Shots were fired west of Union Station near the garage and multiple people were struck. We took two armed people into custody for more investigation. 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.”

Everyone inside Union Station was released shortly after once police had better assessed the situation.

High schooler recalls harrowing moments during Union Station shooting with Andy Reid

Among the chaos, fans and members of the Chiefs organization intermingled as all rushed to make their way to a safe location. One young fan came across Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, who reportedly tried to offer some comfort amid the horror.

“He [was] trying to comfort me,” Shawnee Mission East High School sophomore Gabe Wallace said, according to Kansas City Star columnist Sam McDowell.

In a video McDowell posted along with that account of coming across Reid, Wallace recounts hearing the first shots and fleeing into or around Union Station for cover, near where the shooting reportedly took place.

“I heard just like ‘Boom boom!’ like real quick,” Wallace said of the initial gunfire. “And then the security guard was like, ‘Get over the barricade, get in Union Stat — get over here right now, come on, come on, let’s go.’ So we went into to Union Station, like I had no idea if my friends are OK — it’s terrible.”

When Wallace couldn’t initially locate his friends, the thought that they had been shot or killed crossed his mind. In the process of fleeing, he had hit his face on the concrete ceiling as he leapt a barricade.

“The security guard was like “Get over the damn fence right now, there’s a shooter.’ We hop over, I hit my face on accident. But then — so I headed in there, I had no idea where he was,” Wallace said, gesturing to one of his friends who he attended the parade with, now standing behind him. “I head in there, there was like an FBI agent, she was like, ‘Are you OK? Find your friends’ and everything.”

Wallace estimated the shots had come from inside or in the close vicinity of Union Station.

“I’m pretty sure I heard shots in Union Station,” Wallace said. “It might’ve been a little outside, I’m not sure though.”
