Bystanders sprung into action when gunfire rang out near the end of the Kansas City Chiefs' Super Bowl celebration on Wednesday.
Trey and Casey Filter attended the packed parade and rally with their children in Kansas City, Missouri. As they and scores of other Chiefs fans were getting ready to leave, Trey Filter said a "commotion" broke out and he could see someone "being chased" as people shouted, "Get him!"
"I jumped and remember thinking, 'I hope this is the dude they were talking about,'" he recalled in an interview Thursday with ABC News on "Good Morning America."
"We were pretty elated once we knew we had him and they started yelling that 'there's a gun, there's a gun.' So we were pretty steadfast in holding him down there," he added. "We just made it very clear that he wasn't allowed to move. He didn't have much to say."
