Shots were fired at the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade, injuring 8-10 people. Two people were detained, and child reunification stations were set up. Despite the shooting, the parade celebrated the Chiefs' third Super Bowl title. Fans lined the route, and players stripped off shirts due to unseasonably warm temperatures. Pop superstar Taylor Swift did not join her boyfriend, Travis Kelce, for the parade. Over a million people were estimated to attend the parade.
The parade commemorated Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and the Chiefs becoming the first team to defend their title since the New England Patriots. Many school districts canceled classes for the parade, and businesses turned the day into a viewing party for their workers. This is not the city's first victory parade, as they celebrated the Chiefs' win in Super Bowl LIV and the Kansas City Royals' World Series win in 2015.
