Kids can't go to school. Believers can't go to church. Families can't go to the grocery store. Friends can't go to a concert. And now fans can't go to a SUPER BOWL PARADE without the real fear of being a part of a mass shooting in America. WHAT ARE WE DOING?
He wrote on Twitter.

Griffin persisted in demanding action and emphasized that mass shootings should not be a political issue. 

Put the politics aside, work TOGETHER and pass laws to ensure we are no longer known as the land of mass shootings.
He further wrote on his Twitter.

Griffin’s NFL career may not have gone as planned, but he still has a powerful voice because of the issues he raises that impact communities all over the nation.

According to Kansas City police, the shooting happened outside the garage, west of Union Station, as Chiefs supporters were leaving. After the rally, according to paradegoer Arnold Sauther, the Chiefs entered Union Station, and fans trailed after the players to sign autographs.

Then, all of a sudden they all started running out, and you see all these policemen come running in there -- and you knew something happened in the station.
Sauther told KMBC.

According to Interim Kansas City Fire Chief Ross Grundyson, eight gunshot victims had “immediately” life-threatening injuries, and seven others had injuries that could be fatal. The victims were taken to multiple hospitals in the vicinity.

The Chiefs were celebrating their third Super Bowl win in the last five years. They have been one of the best teams in the league in recent years, and they have held two parades before. However, this was the first time a mass shooting took place during the parade, and that has left the entire country in shock.
