Moment startled reporters realize they’re in midst of Kansas City Chiefs parade shooting captured during live broadcast
NY Post
Three sports journalists were reporting live on air when they realized a deadly shooting had erupted at the Kansas City Chiefs’ Super Bowl victory parade Wednesday.
Channel 41 reporters Caitlin Knute, Kevin Holmes and Mick Shaffer were happily discussing the day’s celebrations in the Missouri city while they slowly realized there was an unusual amount of shrieking and running coming from the thousands of fans in the streets.
“We’ve got, uh — crowds are dispersing,” a confused Knute said as the camera panned to the crowd frantically looking for cover, shortly after shots rang out at the end of the victory parade west of Union Station.
Shaffer attempts to explain the sudden dispersment, but finds himself unable to find an answer before anchor Holmes trepidatiously notes: “It looks like they are running.”
The trio continues watching on in confusion as the realization that they could be in danger settles in.
“We might have a situation here. We’re trying to keep an eye on it,” Knute said.
