[SportsFan68]

At least 10 people were shot in Kansas City, Missouri, after a rally Wednesday celebrating the Chiefs Super Bowl victory, authorities said.

Kansas City Fire Department Battalion Chief Michael Hopkins said the victims were hospitalized. Their conditions were unclear.

Five people, including three with gunshots, were hospitalized at University Health hospital, a facility spokesperson said.

Two people were detained after the shooting near a garage west of Union Station, the Kansas City Police Department said in a statement.

The department did not identify suspects.

The statement asked for people to quickly leave the area in an effort to provide the victims with medical aid.

Thousands of people had gathered in downtown Kansas City for a celebratory parade and rally at Union Station after the Chiefs Super Bowl win on Sunday.

A senior White House official said that the Biden administration was "closely monitoring" the situation and that “federal law enforcement is on scene supporting local law enforcement.”

Drue Tranquill, a linebacker with the Chiefs, asked people to join him in prayer for the victims over “this heinous act.”

“Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands & that all would experience full healing,” he said on X.

Both the Missouri and Kansas governors said they had been attending the celebration and were safely evacuated.
