Chiefs star Travis Kelce has said he is ‘heartbroken’ after his team’s Super Bowl parade descended into violence, with a shooting in Kansas City injuring at least 29 people and leaving one dead.
The gunfire happened inside Union Station shortly after 3:30pm, and Kansas City police chief Stacey Graves later said that three suspects had been detained.
‘I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today,’ Kelce said.
‘My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me.’
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas confirmed during a press conference that all Chiefs players and staff are safe and accounted for following the shooting.

The Chiefs’ Vice President of Content and Production Robert G. Alberino Jr also confirmed that the organization’s production crew, game day crew cheer team, flag team and mascots were all accounted for.
The shooting happened seconds after the team – including Kelce and Patrick Mahomes – left the stage.
The Super Bowl MVP Mahomes shared a message to social media around an hour after the shooting after the Chiefs were believed to have been escorted to Arrowhead Stadium.
‘Praying for Kansas City…,’ the quarterback posted to X.
