Last Wednesday, what was started as a celebration quickly turned into a nightmare after tragic shooting took place during the Kansas City Chiefs‘ Super Bowl victory parade. The shooting left 22 people, including 11 children injured and 1 person killed. And now, a few days later, the Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany Mahomes visited the children’s hospital to meet the victims.

According to Fox 4 KC reporter Malik Jackson, the Chiefs’ All-Pro quarterback visited Kansas City’s children’s hospital and had a chat with the sisters, who were shot in the legs during the shooting incident. The sisters were 10 and 8 years old.

Nonetheless, 3 suspects, including 2 minors have been arrested by the cops and charged with gun-related offenses in connection to the Super Bowl parade shooting. The cops have learned the shooting was a result of an escalated personal beef and wasn’t a coordinated attack.
