In a statement, the White House said: “The President has been briefed on the shooting in Kansas City and will continue to receive updates. White House officials have been in touch with state and local leaders, and federal law enforcement is on the scene supporting local law enforcement.”
Sunday’s Super Bowl was the most watched live event, attracting an estimated 123.7 million viewers around the world.
Some of that was due to the fact that pop star Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Chief’s player Travis Kelce, had watched the game from the stands.
Swift was not present at the victory parade on Wednesday, as she was en route to her tour in Melbourne, Australia.
Kelce in a post on X said he was “heartbroken” over the shooting. “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.”
