Travis Kelce has donated $100,000 to a GoFundMe set up to help cover the medical costs of two children injured in this week's mass shooting at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade. The two girls whom Kelce donated to are reportedly related to local radio DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan, who was the sole fatality in the shooting. Furthermore, the girls also received a visit from Patrick and Brittany Mahomes. The QB and his wife stopped by the children's hospital in Kansas City to meet the two girls, whose identities have not been made public. TMZ later published photos of the Mahomeses with the girls in question.
Meanwhile, police have charged two people, both juveniles, in the shooting. The pair were charged with gun-related charges and resisting arrest. More information is also emerging about the fallout of the incident. One person died and 22 were injured, including 11 children. Furthermore, the local fire chief said that eight people were critically injured and seven were in serious condition. However, Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas, who was in attendance, said there were no plans to cancel the upcoming St. Patrick's Parade. "We have parades all the time. I don't think they'll end. Certainly, we recognized the public safety challenges and issues that relate to them," Lucas said.
