Shots are fired at the Super Bowl winner Kansas City Chiefs’ championship celebration. One person dies and at least 29 are injured, some of them critically, including eleven children. About a country where you’re not even safe at a parade.
The most poignant words about what happened Wednesday at 2 p.m. in Kansas City came from former professional football player Robert Griffin III. “Children can’t go to school, believers can’t go to church, families can’t go to the supermarket, friends can’t go to a concert,” writes Griffin on Platform X. “And now fans in America can’t even go to a Super Bowl parade without reasonable fear of getting caught up in a shooting spree.”
