Jackson Mahomes Credited With Helping Child During Chiefs Parade Shooting

Jackson Mahomes, the often-controversial brother of Patrick Mahomes, is being hailed as a hero for his actions during the mass shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade. Furthermore, eyewitnesses claim that Mahomes leaped into action to help a young child who became separated from their parents. "I don’t care what anyone says but I have found a newfound respect for Jackson Mahomes. Ana and I were stuck hiding with him at union station by the trains. And he was taking care of a child who lost his parents and helping him calm down," a woman wrote on X after the shooting.

It is believed that a trio of individuals opened fire on the crowds outside Union Station a few minutes after Chiefs players and coaches made speeches about their Super Bowl win. One person was killed and 21 more injured, including 11 children. However, all three suspects are now in police custody. Many people expressed their surprise that Jackson Mahomes was still present at the festivities at the time of the shooting. Most assumed that he had left with the team.
