Patrick, Brittany Mahomes visit shooting victims related to fan who was killed at Super Bowl parade
Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany visited injured family members of the woman who was shot and killed during the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade in Kansas City, Missouri.
The family of Lisa Lopez-Galvin, who died after being shot on Wednesday, thanked supporters, including the Chiefs quarterback and his wife.
Patrick and Brittany were pictured on Friday with two of the injured girls, ages 8 and 10, who were shot in the leg following the parade.
The girls are the daughters of Lopez-Galvan’s cousin.
The Reyes family issued a statement about the girls, who had to undergo surgery and are expected to be in casts for months.
They thanked the Mahomes, as well as the staff at Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City “for their outpouring [of] care, love, and support.”
“While we are relieved by their progress, the emotional healing continues for all of us,” the family said in the statement. “The girls were celebrating with many family members when they were senselessly injured. We kindly ask that you continue to keep our family and the other families affected in your thoughts and prayers.”
The family also set up a GoFundMe page and Taylor Swift, who is dating Mahomes’ teammate, Travis Kelce and is friends with Brittany, donated $100,000.
Two juveniles were charged in connection with the shooting that left Lopez-Galvan dead and 22 others injured, authorities said Friday.
