Earlier today, two confirmed suspects opened fire in the middle of the championship celebration parade for the Kansas City Chiefs. At of the time of this writing, it has been confirmed that at least one person was killed, while as many as 15 others have been injured. Although only two suspects in custody have been reported, as many as three persons are currently in custody with video surfacing of one potential suspect being brought down by two Kansas City Chiefs fans.
The video has been circling social media and depicts the male suspect wearing a tan jacket running through a crowd of fans. The suspect is then tackled by one fan but recovers back to his feet. The suspect is then immediately tackled by another fan. The two subdue the male suspect on the ground while police arrive shortly thereafter.

More videos from the chaotic scene.
My God! Six years to the day of the Parkland School shooting and now there’s a shooting at the Super Bowl Parade. THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ANYWHERE ELSE, no matter how the guns were acquired or who got them, common sense gun laws are needed. #ChiefsParade pic.twitter.com/R0VBRuz6yN
