A deadly shooting has ruined the celebratory parade for the Kansas City Chiefs, leaving at least one person dead. The assailants didn’t spare children either, hurting almost a dozen kids.

The shooting follows last weekend’s Super Bowl which saw the Kansas City Chiefs triumph over the San Francisco 49ers. Fans in Kansas City held a parade to celebrate their city team’s victory without expecting it to end in grief.

According to the latest information as of the time of this writing, a total of 22 people were shot, one of whom died. Among the others, eight sustained life-threatening injuries, while another seven suffered injuries that could potentially be life-threatening. The rest of those struck by gunfire suffered non-threatening injuries, according to Kansas City authorities.

The 22 people who were hit by the gunfire included nine children who, luckily, are expected to make full recovery. These included individuals aged between 6 and 15.

As mentioned, one person, later identified as DJ Lisa Lopez, host of “Taste of Tejano,” unfortunately died on the spot.

The adult victims were rushed to Truman Medical Center and St. Luke’s Hospital, while the hurt children were rushed to Children’s Mercy Hospital.

Three Men Were Arrested, No Charges Have Been Made Official

In the shooting’s aftermath, local authorities apprehended three people believed to be connected with the shooting. Luckily, there were already over 800 police officers tasked with monitoring the parade, who acted immediately. More details about the three arrestees are yet to be published.

According to reports, fans of the Chiefs apprehended one of the shooters. The Chiefs themselves were not hurt and, despite the stress, worked to calm down scared children.

The attack sparked an outrage on social media as people accused the violence. Their sentiments were echoed by the Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves who expressed her condolences to the victims and their families and slammed the senseless shooting.

The Kansas City Chiefs are the defending champions who weren’t too impressive in the regular season. However, Andy Reid’s men really switched to the top gear when the postseason started.

They’ve already slain a couple of giants in 2024 and they’re determined to do the same on February 11. However, Super Bowl LVIII odds suggest the San Francisco 49ers will be the ones to lift the Lombardi Trophy.

Kansas City Chiefs Looking Great Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII

The Kansas City Chiefs went 11-6 in the regular season. It was their worst record since 2017, which was the rookie season of Patrick Mahomes. The quarterback had a mediocre season in 2023, but his form has improved since the start of 2024.

He’s thrown for four touchdowns in the three playoff games the Chiefs have played so far. It may not seem too impressive, but you need to keep in mind that these guys played against some really tough opponents – the Miami Dolphins, Buffalo Bills, and Baltimore Ravens.

Mahomes and his colleagues from Kansas City’s attacking team have been great, but it’s the Chiefs’ defense that’s been a real-world-beater in 2024. In the AFC Championship Game, they absolutely destroyed Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, keeping them to only 10 points.

Can the San Francisco 49ers End the Chiefs’ Dominance?

It’s been 29 years since the San Francisco 49ers won the Super Bowl the last time. Since then, they played the NFL Championship Game on two occasions, namely, in 2014 and 2020. The latter – Super Bowl LIV – saw them lose 31-20 to the Chiefs.

Mahomes was the MVP of the Championship Game, while his teammate at the time, Damien Williams, scored two touchdowns (one rushing and one receiving TD). Williams, however, is no longer in Kansas City. The same goes for another five players from the starting 11 in the Kansas City Chiefs offensive team in Super Bowl LIV.

When it comes to San Francisco’s offensive team, only four players from the 2020 game are still on the roster. But those are elite players – Deebo Samuel (WR), Kyle Juszczyk (FB), George Kittle (TE), and Jimmy Garoppolo (QB). Garoppolo won’t play on February 11, but the Niners have a better alternative in Sam Darnold.

Compared to their 2020 lineup, the Niners offense looks much stronger. There’s Christian McCaffree in the running back position, as well as Elijah Mitchell. When it comes to their defensive team, it’s all about Nick Bosa, who’s one of the best defensive ends in the world.

Kansas City Chiefs vs. San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl LVIII Prediction

If there’s a team that can outsmart the Kansas City defense, it’s San Francisco. It’s very likely the Niners will go hard on the running game, which is great news for their fans because they’ve got McCaffrey, Mitchell, and Juszczyk to carry the ball forward.

But can their defense stop Mahomes & Co.? We think they can. They can keep them to just one or two TDs, which should be enough to win the game.

Pick: San Francisco 49ers

Las Vegas Raiders Praying for a Christmas Miracle

The Las Vegas Raiders are 1-9 against the Kansas City Chiefs in their last 10 duels in the NFL. The only time they won within the last five years was in 2020 when they beat the Chiefs by eight points at empty Arrowhead (due to COVID protocols).

In the 2023 NFL season, they’ve played against their AFC West rivals once already, losing 31-17 in Vegas. Now, they’re supposed to play against the Chiefs at Arrowhead Stadium. This is very bad news for the Raiders as they’re not very good on the road this season. In fact, with a 1-5 away record, they’re the worst away side in the AFC.

All this explains why oddsmakers think they’re very likely to lose on Christmas. However, there’s one thing that’s giving them hope for this game. The thing is that in their most recent game, the Raiders demolished the Los Angeles Chargers 63-21.

It was a superb effort by the Raiders’ offense, but the game would’ve been different for their defense if the Chargers’ starting QB Justin Herbert wasn’t out with an injury.

Kansas City Chiefs Upping Their Form at the Right Time

From Week 8 to Week 14, the Kansas City Chiefs lost four games. However, in Week 15, they made their return to the winning track with a 27-17 victory over the New England Patriots in Foxborough. Even though the Pats are horrible in 2023, the Chiefs did look very well in that game.

Now, they’re coming back home for Christmas and are expected to put on a show to remember for their fans. A win on Monday would get them one step closer to winning the AFC West. Further, a win would give them a chance to challenge for the No. 1 seed in the AFC.

They’re now third in the conference, but there’s a possibility that they could move all the way to the top by the end of the regular season.

Las Vegas Raiders vs. Kansas City Chiefs Prediction

This is going to be a great game for fans as we’re likely to see offensive brilliance from both teams. The Raiders will probably score a couple of TDs on Christmas, but we’re sure the Chiefs will score more. But will they score enough to cover the huge 10-point spread?

In normal circumstances, we’d say no. However, this is a Christmas game played at Arrowhead and the Chiefs will want to put on a memorable show for everyone in attendance. Apart from making their fans happy, they also want a big win to bring their level of confidence back up after a couple of disappointing weeks.

Pick: Kansas City Chiefs -10
