Chaos erupted at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade on Wednesday afternoon after a shooting near the victory rally left at least one person dead and 22 more injured, police said. 

Patrick Mahomes, who shortly before was celebrating Kansas City’s back-to-back Super Bowl titles alongside his teammates, posted a message on X less than an hour after Kansas City Police confirmed that two armed suspects were taken into custody after multiple people were struck near the Union Station garage at around 2 p.m. local time.
