Witnesses recount horror
Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith recalled the mass shooting in an interview on the Good Morning America TV program on Thursday.
“I just remember the security guards ushering us through the doors quickly, saying, ‘Come on, hurry up, hurry up, hurry up’,” the 24-year-old football player said.
“‘This is not a joke. It’s a life and death situation’,” he recalled the guards saying.
He and teammate James Winchester sheltered in a closet with around 20 other people.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas attended the rally his wife and mother. They ran for safety when they heard shots were fired.
But he said the tragedy would not be cause to cancel similar celebrations in future.
“We have parades all the time. I don’t think they’ll end. Certainly we recognized the public safety challenges and issues that relate to them,” Lucas said at a press conference on Thursday.
