KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- One person was killed and nine were injured after shots were fired at the end of the Chiefs' Super Bowl parade Wednesday, Kansas City fire department officials said.

According to ABC News, citing the officials, three of the injured are in critical condition and five are in serious condition.

Police said in a news release that two people were detained. Fans were urged to exit the area as quickly as possible.

Kansas City police said on X that "child reunification stations" had been set up at the main entrance to Union Station and at 2301 Main St.

"We still have several needing reunification," the tweet read. Police also asked witnesses to the shooting to go to a corner near Union Station.

Areas that had been filled with crowds were empty after the shooting, with police and firefighters standing and talking behind an area restricted by yellow tape.

Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill posted on X, "Please join me in prayer for all the victims in this heinous act. Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands & that all would experience full healing."

The shooting broke the celebratory mood on Valentine's Day as Chiefs fans marked their third Super Bowl title in five seasons.
