Brittany Mahomes calls Chiefs parade shooting ‘traumatizing’

The shooting at Wednesday’s Super Bowl parade has left members of the Kansas City Chiefs and their families shaken.

Brittany Mahomes described the shooting as “traumatizing” after one person died and at least 22 were injured in the shooting near Union Station in Kansas City.

“Highly embarrassed and disappointed in this. Super Bowl wins will never be the same because of this, it’s devastating,” Mahomes wrote on her Instagram Story Wednesday evening.

“Lives lost and people injured during something that was suppose[d] to be a celebration. Horrible and traumatizing. So many prayers going to the families involved.”

Three people were taken into custody Wednesday in connection to the shooting, Kansas City Police chief Stacey Graves said.

Nine children were among the 22 injured.

Chiefs fan Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two and a local DJ, died during surgery after being shot in the abdomen, according to the Kansas City Star.

Mahomes traveled to the parade with husband Patrick Mahomes and the two celebrated on top of a bus that drove along the parade route.

Shots were fired shortly after the rally ended, causing the crowd to flee in panic.

Video showed one fan bravely tackling one of the alleged shooters to the ground.

The fan, Trey Filter, recalled hearing “Get him!” and springing into action.

“I literally remember when I was tackling him, ‘I sure hope this is who they were yelling at me to get.’ Because I just went, ‘Boom!’ … I really don’t recall seeing him coming,” Filter told The Post.

All members of the Chiefs and their families were “safe and accounted for,” the team said Wednesday.
