Chiefs parade survivor heard fight break out before getting shot: 'I collapsed'
Jacob Gooch, his wife and 13-year-old son were hurt when the gunfire rang out.
Jacob Gooch and his family were among the 1 million fans enjoying the Chiefs' Super Bowl celebration in Kansas City, Missouri, on Wednesday when they heard a fight break out.
"We hear a lady saying, something like, 'Not now, this isn't the place,' or something, and pushing this guy back," Gooch told ABC News. "Then all of a sudden, we hear pop, pop, pop pop, pop, pop -- you know, the gunshots."
"I get hit -- and I'm thinking fireworks, in my head. So I look down -- I see smoke coming out of my ankle, people rushing me," he said. "I turn to try to start running and I collapsed to the ground, because, obviously, I couldn't run."
Gooch, his wife and his 13-year-old son were all shot and are recovering from gunshot wounds to their feet and legs.
"You just don’t expect it to happen to you, but it’s happening so much," he said. "It’s ridiculous."
One person was killed and 22 were hurt in Wednesday's mass shooting, which police said appeared to stem from a dispute.
Two juvenile suspects are being held on gun-related charges and resisting arrest, according to the 16th Judicial Circuit Court of Missouri's Jackson County Family Court Division. Additional charges are expected as the investigation continues, officials said.
Killed in the shooting was Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a DJ at local radio station KKFI 90.1 FM.
The 44-year-old leaves behind her husband and two young children.
"We woke up this morning excited and the last thing we ever expected was to have a tragedy in our family," her brother, Beto Lopez, told ABC News.
