The parents of the two girls injured during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting have expressed their gratitude to Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Mahomes for their heartfelt care and support.

In a press release obtained by NBC News on Feb. 16, the Reyes family provided an update on the condition of their daughters, aged 8 and 10. The girls suffered leg injuries during the tragic shooting at Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, on Feb. 14, which resulted in the death of one woman and left 22 others wounded.

Alongside the statement, the Reyes family shared photos of their daughters receiving a visit from the football quarterback and his wife.

"On behalf of the Reyes Family, we are incredibly grateful for the love, support, and prayers during this difficult time," the statement reads in part. "Our family, along with the other families impacted by this senseless act, are still healing physically and emotionally."

Representatives for the Reyes family did not immediately respond to TODAY.com's request for the names of the victims' parents or the details of Mahomes and Brittany's visit.

The statement further mentioned that the two sisters will be in casts for several months following surgery to address their gunshot wounds but are making positive strides in their recovery.

"We will undergo follow-up doctor’s visits for the next few years. They are receiving physical therapy to regain their strength and mobility," the statement continued. "While we are relieved by their progress, the emotional healing continues for all of us. The girls were celebrating with many family members when they were senselessly injured. We kindly ask that you continue to keep our family and the other families affected in your thoughts and prayers."

The family included a link to a GoFundMe campaign in their statement, seeking assistance to cover medical expenses for the two girls. The statement concluded with the family expressing their gratitude to the hospital staff currently caring for their daughters, as well as a heartfelt thank you to Mahomes and Brittany.

"We want to give a personal thank you to the staff of Children’s Mercy Hospital and Patrick & Brittany Mahomes for their outpouring care, love, and support," the statement said.

On the day of the shooting, Mahomes reacted to the news with a post shared on his X page.

"Praying for Kansas City," he wrote in a post shared on his social media platform.

On Friday, he posted again, announcing that the Chiefs had established an emergency response fund in response to the shooting.

"Just like #ChiefsKingdom has always been there for me and my family, we want to be there for them," he wrote in the announcement. "The @Chiefs have launched #KCStrong, an emergency response fund supporting victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services, and first responders."

His wife shared his announcement post to her Instagram story. The day before, Brittany Mahomes had also contributed to the discourse surrounding the parade shooting.

"Shooting people is never the answer," she wrote in her post. "Praying for Kansas City & America in general, this is rough."

Expressing her feelings further, she added, "Highly embarrassed and disappointed in this, Super Bowl wins will never be the same because of this, it’s devastating. Lives lost and people injured during something that was (supposed) to be a celebration. Horrible and traumatizing."

As of Feb. 16, officials have charged two juveniles in connection with the shooting. Authorities have stated that they believe a dispute led to the gunfire and have found no evidence of violent extremism or terrorism.
