Video taken during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl victory rally in Missouri shows a group of people who tackled a man they suspected was one of the shooters who opened fire at the celebration on Wednesday.

One person died, and 22 others were injured by the gunfire, nine of whom were children. In total, 11 children were injured, ranging from ages 6 to 15, according to Children’s Mercy Hospital. The children are expected to survive. 

In a video that made the rounds on social media, a horde of people are seen fleeing from the scene after shots rang out, including a man in a gray sweatshirt. The man is then taken down by a group of fans.

In another video taken by Alyssa Marsh-Contreras, law enforcement officials were seen standing over a person and placing him in handcuffs.

Fox News Digital reached out to Marsh-Contreras for more information.

During a press briefing, Kansas City Police Chief Stacy Graves mentioned she heard fans got involved and tackled someone, though the incident was still under investigation.

So far, three people have been detained in connection with the shooting.
