Wild footage shows the suspect sprinting behind jersey barriers and across the grass toward a sea of confused and terrified celebrants shortly after shots rang out at the end of the victory parade west of Union Station.
Rather than running away with the rest of the crowd, one brave fan braced himself and leaped on the alleged criminal, dragging him to the ground.

The suspected gunman quickly wriggled free but was immediately tackled again by a second Chiefs fan, who somersaulted in the dirt with the man in a desperate attempt to keep him shackled.
That’s when the first fan jumped back into the fight, followed by at least two other bystanders who all worked together to hold the suspect down until police arrived just seconds later.
The camera panned to another suspect being cuffed several yards away.

Child reunification stations have been set up inside the station’s main entrance and at 2301 Main St. Police said they “still have several needing reunification.”
The shooting is under investigation.
