Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce have finally addressed the fatal shooting at the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LVIII victory parade last Wednesday.

Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce are sharing a special message with the fans and listeners ahead of a new episode of their podcast, New Heights.

The video shared on social media explained that the forthcoming episode was recorded before the tragic shooting that took place on Valentine’s Day immediately following a Super Bowl LVIII victory parade in Kansas City, Missouri.
“We have a pre-recorded episode for you guys, coming up on Wednesday, but after the tragic events of the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, it didn’t feel right without you guys hearing from us first,” Travis shared in their video message.

“We just wanted to say our hearts go out to all of the victims, their families, the Chiefs Kingdom, and really all of Kansas City that was really there on a day to try and celebrate the community,” Jason said. “It’s unfortunate and deeply tragic, the events that occurred.”
Jason had a message for those who helped in the aftermath, sharing, “We also wanted to thank the local law enforcement that sprang into action, the first responders on scene, and anybody that’s been willing to help those affected by this tragedy.”

Before airing our pre-taped episode on Wednesday, Jason and Travis wanted the 92%ers and Chiefs Kingdom to hear from them directly after the tragic events at the Chiefs parade

The Kelces urged listeners to donate to the United Way of Greater Kansas City’s ‘We Are #KCStrong’ fundraiser, which Travis said “goes to supporting victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services and the first responders.”

The shooting Wednesday outside the city’s historic Union Station was a tragic end to the happy occasion that brought nearly 1 million people to the city to celebrate the team winning back-to-back Super Bowls.

One married mother of two was killed and 22 people were injured — about half of whom were under the age of 16. A children’s hospital treating 11 kids who were wounded in the shooting announced Saturday that all patients have since been discharged.

The juveniles detained on gun-related and resisting arrest charges were being held at a juvenile detention center. Their names have not been released since they are minors.
