Everyday heroes do exist.
The sports world is still trying to wrap their heads around the sad events that played out at the conclusion of the Kansas City Chiefs celebratory Super Bowl parade. A shooting took place near Union Station in Kansas City, Missouri, where the parade route finished up.
In this broadcast from BBC, you can see the moment shots started ringing out:
As of right now, it being reported that at least 14 people were injured in the violent attack. One death has also been confirmed, officially making this a fatal shooting that took place in Kansas City.
Two armed individuals were detained shortly after the shooting, and it appears that one of them was caught thanks to the brave acts of parade attendees that heroically jumped into action. Based on this video below, a person that was fleeing from police was tackled by a couple of courageous Chiefs fans that saw the man running in the area.

Shoutout to those people that bravely took matters into their own hands. They are true heroes, and if the person tackled is one of the suspected shooters, their actions very easily could have saved lives. Towards the end of the clip, on the right side of the frame, you can even see a woman pick up the alleged shooter’s rifle while the rest of the men hold him down.
