The Chiefs‘ Super Bowl celebrations were interrupted Wednesday when one person was killed and at least 21 others were injured, according to KCPD.
While it’s unclear whether or not the man in the video was a suspect, police appeared to handcuff and apprehend the hoodie-clad man, a separate video posted to Twitter by KMBC shows.
In the video someone, possibly police, can be heard yelling “the gun is over here!” while the potential suspect is taken into custody.

Fans can also be heard telling police “when we tackled him the gun came out.”
You can see this lady picking up and moving the automatic rifle that fell from the suspect’s coat when the men tackled him (and while he’s still on the ground). All of these Chiefs fans are heroes. pic.twitter.com/ijB67CmJNZ
