FS1 Host Nick Wright Gets Emotional About Super Bowl Parade Shooting

It wasn't just the NFL world that was shaken by Wednesday's Super Bowl parade shooting in Kansas City, everyone has been affected. The shooting took the life of one local woman and injured several others as it occurred near the end of the event.

Lots of people in attendance have given their first-hand accounts of what they saw, heard and felt as gunshots were ringing out.

One attendee was FS1 host Nick Wright, who spoke on Thursday morning's episode of First Things First.

Wright said he spoke to a woman in a hotel elevator after running from the scene, and he was overcome with emotion by her words.

"I cried because it's so cruel what we've taken from this generation of kids that we all got," Wright said.

"We're lucky, but yesterday was also the worst 10 seconds of my life. It was not when we heard the gunshot and were told to get down.

The time between them telling us 'active shooter' and me finding in the crowd my wife, my sister-in-law and her best friend. That 10 seconds felt like it was five minutes."

The woman was in attendance with her 14-year-old granddaughter, who "had to take the lead because she's been trained for this."

"For those kids there yesterday, part of their childhood ended," he said. "And we consider them lucky, the ones who didn't end up in hospital beds."
