The Fire chief also shared that the people with life-threatening injuries have been “transported to hospitals within 10 minutes, so [they] felt the response was certainly adequate and appropriate.
Due to the chaotic nature of the Union Station, some people suffered injuries while attempting to run away from danger.
One high school student who was at the location shared his harrowing experience stating that he suffered an injury while running away from the gunshots.
“The security guard was like, ‘Get over the damn fence right now, there’s a shooter.’ When I was hopping over the barricade, my foot hit [it] and my face nailed the concrete,” Gabe Wallace told the Kansas City Star.
He also shared that he had yet to contact some of his friends who also attended the parade, adding, “I have no idea if my friends are OK. It’s terrible … I’m literally thinking, most of my friends are dead. That’s all that went through my mind, like, ‘Are my friends dead or not?’”
