Travis Kelce is “heartbroken” after at least 22 people were shot and two were killed during the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade on Valentine’s Day in Kansas City, Mo.
“I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me,” the tight end wrote on X hours after the tragic shooting.
The team’s quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, previously revealed he was safe, posting on X that he was “Praying for Kansas City… .”

“Shooting people is never the answer,” the mom of two wrote on her Instagram Story. “Praying for Kansas City & America in general, this is rough.”
She continued that she’s “highly embarrassed” and “disappointed” by the shooting, saying that Super Bowl wins would will never be the same.
