Travis Kelce offered his condolences and support following a sh00ting at the end of the Kansas City Chiefs’ 2024 Super Bowl victory parade on Wednesday.

“I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me,” the tight end, 34, wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

During a second press conference on Wednesday, Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves confirmed there was one deceased and 22 wounded after the sh00ting at Union Station in Kansas City, Mo. Authorities were still working on the total number of victims and identifying the deceased victim at the time.

“Three persons were detained and under investigation for today’s incident,” Graves said. “Right now we do not have a motive.”

“I’m angry at what happened today,” Graves added. “The people who came to this celebration should expect a safe environment.”

The Chiefs released a statement shortly after the mass sh00ting.

“We are truly saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred outside of Union Station at the conclusion of today’s parade and rally. Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all of Kansas City,” their statement began.

The NFL team added that “all of our players, coaches, staff and their families are safe and accounted for,” while also sharing that they were in close contact with law enforcement officials and thanked first responders.

“Praying for Kansas City… 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽,” Chiefs’ quarterback Patrick Mahomes tweeted.

His wife, Brittany Mahomes, also addressed the tragedy on her Instagram Story: “Sh00ting is never the answer. 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,” she added in a follow-up Instagram Story post. “Lives lost and people injured during something that was [supposed] to be a celebration. Horrible and traumatizing. So many prayers going to the families involved.”

“Please join me in prayer for all the victims in this heinous act,” Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill wrote on X. “Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands & that all would experience full healing.”

The shooting at the parade also coincided with the sixth anniversary of the Parkland school sh00ting in Florida on Feb. 14, 2018, which claimed the lives of 17.

“Just got home from the cemetery where I spent Valentine’s Day with my daughter who was shot and killed 6 years ago,” Fred Guttenberg, parent of Parkland victim Jaime Guttenberg, wrote on X. “Coming home to this news is crushing. WE DO NOT NEED TO ACCEPT THIS AS THE PRICE FOR LIVING IN AMERICA.”

Elsewhere, trucks continued to deliver necessary equipment as screens inside the MCG began to flick on with Taylor’s Eras Tour graphics.

It comes as at least one person was killed and 15 others injured in a horror sh00ting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade.

Two gunmen opened fire inside Union Station shortly after 3:30pm, seconds after the team including Travis Kelce, 34, and Patrick Mahomes left the stage.

Police evacuated the train station as huge crowds fled in panic after the shots rang out, with up to one million people expected to have descended on Kansas City for the parade.

The two gunmen were detained, although their identities and motive remain unclear.

Reports indicate multiple children were also gunned down in the tragic celebration, and were rushed to nearby Children’s Mercy Hospital.

Frantic scenes outside the station also included a man appearing to try and sprint from the crowd, before several men tackled him and pinned him to the ground.
