Local Kansas City news anchor Dia Wall wrote that police “confirms 10 shooting victims today. Multiple children being treated at Children’s Mercy Hospital.”

At least five victims were taken to a hospital, including three with gunshot wounds, a hospital spokesman said to the New York Times. Two armed people were also detained, the police said.

Thousands of fans and concerned parents tried to “get their kids out” of the area, according to local news outlet KSHB 41.

Kansas City Police confirmed via X around 3 p.m. ET that “shots have been fired” and asked guests to “please leave the area. Officers are working to clear Union Station itself. We will release everyone inside the building once that is complete. We are still trying to determine the number of shooting victims.”

The shooting took place shortly after Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and quarterback Patrick Mahomes took the stage to celebrate.

The players are reportedly safe, as sports reporter Andrew Stockey wrote, “Spoke with family for Chiefs receiver and South Fayette grad Justin Watson. He tells his family the players and the players’ families who were inside Union Station are safe #ChiefsParade.”

This story is still developing.
