00:00 I was there with my wife, I was there with my mother.
00:02 We never would have thought that we, along with Chiefs players,
00:07 along with fans, hundreds of thousands of people,
00:11 would be forced to run for our safety today.
00:14 I think that I'll let the investigation shake out before coming to any further
00:18 conclusions, but I think the initial response absolutely is anger.
00:22 We have done a number of these now, and this is a day that a lot of people
00:26 look forward to, something they remember for a lifetime.
00:30 And what they shouldn't have to remember is the threat of gun violence,
00:33 marring a day like this, injuring them and their families.
00:37 This morning, I was actually thinking about bringing my child,
00:39 as many people in Kansas City did.
00:41 And I don't want us to have to, in our country, for
00:47 every big event, think about a concern of being shot.
00:51 When you have people who decide to bring guns to events,
00:55 when you have people who are deciding to try to mar events,
00:58 celebratory ones like this one, all of us start to become members of this club that
01:04 none of us wanna be a part of, which is those who have experienced mass shootings.
01:08 I hope for Kansas City, this is one of the last times we experience that.
