The Kansas City Chiefs expected Wednesday afternoon to be filled with celebration as they hosted a parade in the city to celebrate their Super Bowl LVIII championship. But unfortunately, the celebration was marred by tragedy when a shooting injured at least 22 people, killing one of them. And Chiefs safety Justin Reid has had enough.
Following the tragic events, Justin Reid took to social media to express his outrage and frustration that shootings like this keep happening in the United States.
“This [stuff] is SAD man! Kids are being shot and somebody didn’t come home tonight. We cannot allow this to be normal. We cannot ourselves to become numb and chalk it up to ‘just another shooting in America’ and reduce people in statistics and then move on tmrw.

“This is a SERIOUS PROBLEM!! I pray our leaders enact real solutions so our kids’ kids won’t know this violence,” Reid said in a post on X, the social media website that was formerly known as Twitter.
The motive behind the shooting is not yet clear, but it is clear that many in the United States are simply fed up that these senseless killings just keep happening throughout the country.
