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.

What's going on?

ummmm... why is the crowd running?

Bang Bang

Where is everyone running to?

I wonder if that guy fell out of the tree

Is there a Raider's fan in the area?

Did andy reid fart?

Hope everyone is alright

That would explain it.

Maybe Kadarius Toney is there after all.

there was a shooting i think

Gunshots.


Keep it classy KC

A rabid Bills fan has opened fire in the crowd, oh wait it's Josh Allen.

To quote Tech N9ne, the hood go crazy

If that's the case it's a good thing because he surely missed his target

WTH is going on?

Suspect should be easy to identify.

"He was wearing a red shirt that said KC Chiefs"

What happened everyone ok?

Is this known for sure? Firecrackers could be a possibility, and obviously have the same impact with people just hearing the sound.

Great, now they have to send everyone through metal detectors next year.

With that many people crowded into one area a panic can start almost spontaneously. It's a good thing there wasn't a crush of people or something.

Police rushed inside Union Station

I'm fairly confident the residents from Independence can tell the difference.

Someone shit in the urinal, a true travesty.

no, there is nothing known right now. it's just people and police running in random directions

Kill them both.

Bro I live in Independence, not that part though.

weapons drawn, wow

The owner of Temptations is taking hostages, he can't lose his business.

Cops with guns drawn looking for someone. Clearing the area.

Shooting in the area per KC Police

Oh my gosh.. Please let everyone be ok..

Apparently there was a shooting on the parade route.

You've got a really good Godfather's. I'm jealous.

None of this shit happened near the team, right?

oh geez, I hate hearing this shit

God damn it, someone let Bronco fan in didn't they?

I bet it was a drunken Elway, he can't live down having to give the Chiefs the Lombardi.

You joke about this, but I definitely think it's a valid concern with these parade events. I would not want to be in charge of security.

Travis is going to come barrelling through like a giant, drunk bigfoot and take out the perp.

nah, it looks like it happened inside union station. That's where all the police went

Not everyone in that crowd is from Independence.

Isn't the team in Union Station? And that's where all the cops are running to

There goes the Three-peat parade and rally

This is more excitement than I expected.

They started there and then moved outside to search the area.

They'll all be in pope mobiles and behind glass.

Looked like a shooting outside Union Station. Maybe the shooter fled into the building.

Three ambulances arriving

Tay Tay went the extra mile to shut this trainwreck down...

Thanks for ruining a good day, whoever you are. Moron.

well the parades were fun while they lasted

Not able to watch, I'm assuming they got the players the **** out of there?

So Friends in Low Places and a shooting will be what ESPN covers.

Lovely...

Off to DC momentarily

That kid who Mahomes didn't high 5 was have really been pissed

It's just the third verse.

Man Jerick McKinnon talks like Tyrone Biggums and right after...when keepin it real goes wrong.

Bang Bang Niners gang...

I made the Royals parade in 2015, and concerned about such things I conceal carried. It turned out it was pointless because it was sardine in a can conditions. I wasn’t even going to bother today if I had stuck with my original plan to go.

Now that’s from a defensive perspective, if you’re just looking to take out as many people around you as possible, packed ain’t a bad thing.

This sort of thing miiiiiiight have been why Quentin Lucas got booed when he took the stage...

Are the players ok?

Godsdammit.

Hope no one was killed. Excepting perhaps the shooter getting put the **** down by the police.

This is some scary shit.

At least 3 victims...noooo

Kid on the stretcher with blood on his head. Looks like he got grazed only though. Don't know about the other two.

That's the Thunder Rolls third verse

that bitch fell out of the tree

Yes.

Someone shot that dude in the tree didn't they?

Looks like a woman is being taken away on a stretcher on KSHB’s live feed.

And a killer Minskey's.

It's a go-to post-game spot on my way back to Columbia...

Oh no
