Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, was spotted walking into a restaurant just a few hours after the shooting incident that occurred at the Kansas City parade. New photos obtained by TMZ show Kelce entering the Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar on Wednesday night. Police officers present at the scene approached him for a selfie, which he happily obliged. Eyewitnesses report that Kelce then went inside the restaurant to join his teammates, with a beer in hand.
The pictures were taken a little before 7 PM CT, confirmed through metadata, several hours after shots were fired near Union Station following the conclusion of the Chiefs parade. The shooting resulted in one fatality and 22 individuals suffering from gunshot wounds. This tragic event took place after Kelce had been singing Garth Brooks tunes during the celebration.
Kelce took to Twitter to express his heartbreak over the incident, stating, “I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me.” The Kansas City Chiefs also addressed the shooting, expressing their sadness and condolences to the victims and their families.
Most Chiefs players have also spoken out about the shooting, condemning the senseless act of violence. However, it remains unclear who else was present at the Granfalloon with Kelce.
Attempts to reach out to Travis Kelce’s representatives and the Granfalloon for comment have been unsuccessful thus far.
The incident has shaken the Kansas City community, as they grapple with the aftermath of a joyous celebration turning into a tragic event. The shooting serves as a reminder of the senseless violence that can occur even in moments of celebration and unity. The focus now shifts to supporting the victims and their families, as well as finding solutions to prevent such incidents from happening in the future.
