Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce is taking heat for attending a Super Bowl celebration at a local sports bar only hours after gunfire broke out at the city’s parade in which one was killed and 30 injured.
Kelce was photographed holding a beer and happily posing for selfies with police officers as he entered The Granfalloon bar and restaurant on Wednesday night, according to the Daily Mail.
The shooting occurred near Union Station on Wednesday afternoon during the Super Bowl celebration parade in Kansas City.
The attack claimed the life of popular radio host Lisa Lopez-Galvan, the only fatality.
At least three individuals were detained as persons of interest in the aftermath, one of which was taken down by a spectator who tackled him and held him for police.
Kelce issued a post on X on Wednesday evening saying that the shooting left him “heartbroken.”
“I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me,” he wrote in his Feb. 14 post.
While the police and city officials were still investigating the incident and the facts were somewhat scarce, Kelce suffered a backlash for not letting his “heartbroken” feelings stop him from partying.
