Video: Chiefs fans tackle suspected gunman
After a shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl parade, fans said they tackled someone with a gun. Here's the aftermath of that scene as recorded by Alyssa Marsh-Contreras.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Videos on social media appear to show fans of the Kansas City Chiefs helping tackle at least one of the suspected gunmen in Wednesday's shooting.
Footage shared by Fantasy Fanatics on X (formerly Twitter) shows a distant person sprinting through the crowd before being pounced on by parade-goers. They hold the person down until, moments later, police arrive and take the person into custody.
Another video, shared by Alyssa Marsh-Contreras, shows a much closer view of the immediate aftermath of that scene.
"We tackled him," someone can be heard telling officers in that video. "When we tackled him, the gun came out."
"We're good, we're good," the officers respond as someone continues to yell, "Hey, hey, I got the guy!"
