On Wednesday afternoon at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl Victory Parade, a shooting broke out which resulted in one death and 22 people injured. Since Mike Parson and Laura Kelly, the respective governors of Missouri and Kansas were in the parade too, it is currently being investigated whether or not the shooting had a connection with Parson and Kelly’s presence.
Anyway, after the horrible incident, the four-time Super Bowl winning team released an official statement and expressed they were “truly saddened” by the unprecedented and “senseless act of violence” which occurred at the parade. Besides stating that they were in close communication with the Mayor’s office and the Kansas City Police Department, the franchise confirmed that all the players and their families were safe. In this context, like many, Jake Paul took to social media and offered his views on the matter.
