Just like #ChiefsKingdom has always been there for me and my family, we want to be there for them.❤️
The @Chiefs have launched #KCStrong, an emergency response fund supporting victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services, and first responders.… pic.twitter.com/sYMnPgCWL0
Friendly mod reminder, this thread is about yesterday's shooting. Not about gun control, gun laws, politics, or anything of that nature. If you need everyone to know what's wrong in this world and how you'd fix it, grab your megaphone and soapbox and take it to DC, thanks. [Reply]
NBC News: At this early and preliminary nature of the investigation the shooting incident following the KC Chiefs Super Bowl parade appears to be criminal in nature and does not immediately appear to be terrorism, three state and federal law enforcement officials say.

Yeah, this seems like a couple of gang bangers and a lot of collateral damage to me. [Reply]

Seriously. This is nothing compared to the Boston Marathon bombing. [Reply]

There was also the opportunity to take out someone with more fame.
It actually makes me a little sick to my stomach thinking about all those players interacting with the crowd in hindsight. [Reply]

I know it's awfully prescient of me but....

Shit was getting out of hand 25 years ago when I lived there. Family's still in KC and evidently it's gotten really bad. This was as predictable as the sunrise. [Reply]

Probably looking for cars to break into. That kind of shit happens all the time at these high profile events. The last time i was in STL something like 25 cars got broken into the morning of the game we thankfully decided to skip [Reply]
Speaking of, I was watching Nick Wright's show at the ceremony and with about 4 minutes left the show/youtube pulled it down and made it private.
I have no idea what was in the last 5 minutes but up to that point it looked like it was shot up to where Mahomes was speaking. That still should have been a bit before the shooting IIRC. [Reply]
