This comes one year after a mass shooting that took place at an event celebrating the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl victory in early 2024.
A radio DJ named Elizabeth "Lisa" Lopez-Galvan tragically lost her life in the attack and 22 others — ranging from only 8 years old to 47 years old — were injured.
Three men were later charged with murder for Lopez Galvan's death.
Super Bowl LIX took place on Sunday, February 9.
Following the heartbreaking incident, the Chiefs released a statement that read: "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 ... We thank the local law enforcement officers and first responders who were on-scene to assist."
Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce also took to X and penned, "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."
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes wrote, "Praying for Kansas City…" and his wife, Brittany, also shared a post that said, "Shooting people is never the answer. Praying for Kansas City & America in general, this is rough."
