Couple shot at Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade

A couple cheering on their “beloved” Kansas City Chiefs were gunned down Wednesday while attending the team’s victory parade, revealing on social media how they “left with wounded legs, and most of all, wounded souls.”

Kansas couple Jacob Gooch and Emily Tavis were at Union Station along with hundreds of thousands of fans celebrating the Chief’s win when gunfire erupted into the crowd — killing one and injuring 22 others, including nine children.

“Those of you know by now that my man, my stepson and I were all shot in a mass shooting at Union Station today,” Tavis wrote on Facebook.

“We came to celebrate our beloved CHIEFS. But we left with wounded legs, and most of all, wounded souls.”

Tavis, who thanked her friends for their “kindness and prayers” vented, “Valentine’s Day was supposed to be a day to show love. But this year it was the day our hearts were broken.”

“I like to believe that MOST people are good. And I’m glad to know that I have quite a few of those in my corner,” she wrote while sharing a photo of herself, Gooch and several other people decked out in Chiefs gear.

Her partner also shared the news — as well as a photo of his bloodied foot — on Facebook, writing: “Not to worry anyone, Emily and I were both just shot in this crazy shooting at the Chiefs celebration. We are both ok. This world is out of control. Prayers.”

In the comment section Gooch added, “Turns out my son was also shot!”

In a later post, Gooch shared a photo of his injured foot, writing, “Should a hospital send you home with a bone hanging out of your foot?”

The Post has reached out to both Tavis and Gooch.

The Kansas City fanatics are just two of the 22 people injured in Wednesday afternoon’s horrifying attack.

Children’s Mercy Hospital Kansas City said that the facility is treating nine kids with gunshot wounds.

Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two and a dedicated Chiefs fan, died during surgery at a local hospital after being shot in the abdomen.

Police announced at an evening press conference that one person was killed and 22 others injured, including nine kids, when multiple gunmen opened fire at the end of the victory parade — attended by thousands of Chiefs fans looking to commemorate their third Super Bowl victory.

Three people were taken into custody by police following the shooting.

The suspects have not been identified and the shooting remains under investigation.
