Donna Kelce returned to Union Station hours after Chiefs parade shooting

The Chiefs wasted no time in getting their players, families and bystanders to safety on their team buses after the Super Bowl parade shooting Wednesday, according to Donna Kelce.

Kelce, mother of Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, said the team was rushed back to Arrowhead Stadium “really fast” after the tragic event where one Chiefs fan was killed and at least 22 people were left injured, including nine children.

“Everybody who was with the team, they got us out of there really fast,” she told the Kansas City Star.

Donna Kelce returned to the once-chaotic scene at Union Station hours after the shooting, according to the Kansas City Star, though it is unclear why.

Kelce was at the parade in support of her youngest son, who earned his third Super Bowl ring with Kansas City spanning the last five seasons.

“I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today,” Travis posted on X on Wednesday night. “My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me.”

The parade began at 11 a.m. CT, and about 90 minutes later a rally started at Union Station, where the Chiefs went on stage to celebrate with the fans.

Shortly following the rally, the shooting began.
