The melee left one person dead and several other people injured. The deceased woman was named Lisa Lopez-Galvan. Lopez-Galvan was shot at the parade while wearing the jersey of Chiefs kicker, Harrison Butker. The kicker came through in a big way for Galvan’s family during their time of bereavement. In a statement, he vowed to send a jersey for her to be buried in – just like the one she had on at the parade.
“My wife Isabelle and I are heartbroken by the murder of Lisa due to degenerate violence,” Butker said in a statement via the Kansas City Star.
“Hearing that she was a fan of my outspokenness for our shared Catholic Faith makes this even more personal. I am honored to provide a jersey to the family for her to wear. While the family is mourning their loss and grappling with their numerous injuries, I will continue to pray for their healing and the repose of Lisa’s soul.”
Chiefs Fan Recalls Warm Moment With Andy Reid
One of the survivors of the shooting recalled the scary scene of the shooting. Gabe Wallace says police officers informed them of an active shooter, directing them to get onto the other side of the barricade. That’s when he noticed a familiar face there to offer comfort and support. It was Chiefs head coach Andy Reid.
“The security guard was like, ‘Get over the d*** fence right now. There’s a shooter,’” Gabe said.
“Andy Reid was trying to comfort me, which was nice. He was kind of hugging me, just like, ‘Are you OK, man? Are you OK? Just please breathe.’ He was being really nice and everything. He left to check on other people, I’m pretty sure.”
Two Men Charged in Super Bowl Parade Shooting
A day of celebration for the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl win ended in a tragedy after two gunmen opened fire. And now, those two men are under arrest for the incident, per Yahoo Sports.
“Dominic Miller and Lyndell Mays were arrested and are both facing second-degree murder charges, two counts of armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, per the report. Jackson County prosecutor Jean Peters Baker said Tuesday that they believe Mays was in a “verbal argument” at the parade with someone that “quickly escalated” to him and others pulling out guns,” Yahoo wrote.
“Both Miller and Mays are still in a local hospital recovering from injuries they sustained in the shooting.”
