Travis Kelce slammed for carrying on the party at Kansas City restaurant hours after shooting that left one dead and 21 injured including NINE kids

The tight end looked in good spirits just hours after the Chiefs’ Superbowl parade descended into tragedy
Travis Kelce carried on his Super Bowl victory party at a Kansas City restaurant last night while injured fans lay in the hospital and a family mourned the death of one shot dead at the parade.

Kelce, clutching a beer, was spotted entering the Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar hours after being rushed off stage with his teammates as several gunmen opened fire on their throes of fans.

He posed for a selfie with two police officers stationed outside, before making his way inside.

It was an ill-timed outing for Kelce, who earlier in the day appeared too drunk to speak – with his galivanting sparking backlash from fans on social media.

‘Not a good look IMO for him a few hours after a person was killed and others wounded,’ said one disapproving fan.

Others, loyal to their Super Bowl superstar, defended him. ‘What’s he supposed to do? Say no, not eat?’ one said.

Kelce tweeted his prayers for the victims earlier.

‘I am heartbroken over the tragedy that took place today. My heart is with all who came out to celebrate with us and have been affected. KC, you mean the world to me,’ he said.

Kelce enjoyed his night out hours before Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas gave an update on the investigation, saying he is considering blocking any Superbowl victory parades next year if the Chiefs win again following Wednesday’s horror mass shooting.

The mayor, 39, said three suspects remain under questioning over the tragedy, but declined to identify the gunmen who shot 21 people and killed one at Wednesday’s Superbowl parade.

Lucas offered scant new details on the tragedy early Thursday morning, and apologized for ‘failing to keep everybody safe’ at the family event at a 6am press conference Thursday.

‘I’m sorry that this happened yesterday,’ he said.

‘We worked hard to put on an exceptional parade, we spent millions on it, but we failed to keep everybody safe and that’s something I have great guilt over.’

He added in an interview with CBS that a motive for the massacre remains a mystery, and condemned the ease of access to firearms in Missouri as ‘this is not the way I want to live.’

Lucas condemned the easy access the gunmen had to deadly weapons, citing how there were over 800 cops stationed at the parade that were powerless to prevent a senseless mass shooting.

‘Clearly, there is an access to firearm issue for some in our community,’ he said.

‘There’s a person or persons who intentionally or unintentionally fire into a crowd and hit almost two dozen people, our officers can be on it in an instant yet there’s still this level of harm.

‘We need to do something about the fact that some of these people are able to get these guns in the first place.

‘I don’t know what we’ll do about it ultimately, but we need to find national and local solutions to it.’

Lucas said he was in the front row when the ‘horrifying’ shooting unfolded, which sent thousands of fans sprinting for their lives as chaos took over the Superbowl celebration.

He recalled the moment the fun family event descended into mayhem, seconds after the Kansas City Chiefs players were ‘dancing on stage.’

‘That’s when (police) rushed the stage,’ he continued. ‘There was commotion, and we all sprinted for our lives.’

Terrified witnesses said the chaotic scenes separated families as children were left screaming for help, with the mayor noting he lost his family in the frenzy.

‘All of a sudden someone came and whisked me away… I ended up separated from my wife and was put in a police vehicle,’ he said, adding his family were ‘safe but shaken.’

‘It was horrifying.’ he said.

‘I don’t say that to enlarge my experience. there were a lot of people who had it a lot worse than me – someone lost their life.’

Last year, Kansas City recorded a record number of homicides at 185, a factor that the mayor said frustrated him following the shooting as he attempts to crackdown on the crimewave.

Lucas cited a 30 percent starting pay rise for police officers that he proposed to try and entice more residents to join the police – saying the force needed more officers like those who ran towards danger when the shooting began.
