What happened on 14th February at Kansas City will forever be a nightmare for the entire KC Kingdom! Losing a life, and injuring around 21 victims which included eleven children, the joyous day turned devastating for many, especially the Chiefs Army, who were back with their people to celebrate their second consecutive Super Bowl victory.

However, things have been on the recovery road since the next day of the shooting incident, with many players visiting and helping the victims with donations. Despite the slow building of KC, the pain is still fresh, especially for Andy Reid who hasn’t been able to get over the loss of a popular Kansas City member.

Andy Reid paid tribute to the passed soul!

In a press conference on Tuesday at the NFL’s annual scouting combine in Indianapolis, Chiefs coach Andy Reid took a moment to honor Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who tragically lost her life during the Super Bowl parade shooting two weeks ago. The 65-year-old expressed, “Before we get started, I just want to put a shout out to the Gavin, and Lopez family for their loss with Lisa. And for the people of Kansas City, you know, she was a personality there, very good human being first of all, and we’ll all miss her. As I know, her family will and then just a positive word on Kansas City. That’s not what Kansas City’s all about.”

He further urged Americans to come together to prevent future mass shooting tragedies. Reid continued, “And then for our youth of America that we gather together and make this great, you’re our future and as great as we can make this place, we want to do that. So we can turn this negative into a real positive, with just a little togetherness and love. I think we can fix a lot of problems here.”

This public statement by the Chiefs’ coach was the first verbal acknowledgement from the organization regarding the incident, following an earlier written statement they had released.

Besides that, many Chiefs stars helped the victims after the shooting at the intersection of Pershing and Kessler roads in KC. Among these heroes, coach Reid also helped the revelers that day.

Andy Reid comforted the victims including a terrified teenager

During the Chiefs 2024 victory parade, a tragic incident occurred with multiple people being shot. In the midst of this chaos, coach Andy Reid stepped in to provide comfort and assistance to those affected. Gabe Wallace, a teenager who was present during the shooting, shared his emotional experience, recounting how Reid offered solace by hugging him and checking on his well-being inside the Union Station.

Emotional Wallace informed after a day of the incident that, “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 real nice and everything.” Wallace, who was separated from his friend, also informed that after attending him, Reid went on to check other individuals affected by the unfortunate incident.

Not only Reid, there were many Chiefs stars who attended the victims on the road. Blaine Gabbert, Tre Smith, Austin Reiter, Chris Oladukun, and even Patrick Mahomes’ brother, Jackson Mahomes, all rallied as heroes to provide comfort to the traumatized KC victims.
