Gunshots rang out outside Union Station in Kansas City during the Chiefs' victory parade following their Super Bowl win against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. According to three law enforcement officials who spoke to NBC News, authorities believe the shooting was a criminal act and not an act of terrorism.

As of Wednesday afternoon, police have not disclosed the identity of the deceased victim or the three suspects in custody. A representative from Children's Mercy hospital in Kansas City informed NBC News that the hospital is currently treating 12 patients from the rally, with 11 of them being children. Among these patients, nine have sustained gunshot wounds, although it remains unclear if all nine victims of gunshot wounds are children.

Super Bowl MVP and Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes also addressed the shooting, sharing on Twitter that he is "praying" for the city. He concluded his tweet with three praying hands emojis.

Brittany Mahomes, the wife of Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes, also expressed her thoughts on social media. In an Instagram story post, she condemned the violence, stating, "Shooting people is never the answer. Praying for Kansas City & America in general, this is rough."

Continuing, she expressed her deep disappointment and embarrassment regarding the incident, emphasizing that such events tarnish the significance of Super Bowl victories. She described the situation as devastating, with lives lost and people injured during what was supposed to be a celebratory occasion. She ended her post by sending prayers to the victims and their families.
