A video posted on Twitter appears to show a crowd of Chiefs fans tackling a possible shooter during the Super Bowl parade in Kansas City on Wednesday.
The video, posted by the Fantasy Fanatics Twitter account, shows a crowd of Chiefs fans wearing NFL jerseys chasing the suspect in Wednesday's shooting. (RELATED: Video appears showing the moment gunman starts firing at Kansas City's Super Bowl parade)
It appears that the red gang chased the man, knocked him to the ground, and held him there until police arrived.

The Chiefs' Super Bowl celebrations were suspended Wednesday after one person was killed and at least 21 injured, according to KCPD.
It is unclear whether the man seen in the video is the suspect, but another video posted on Twitter by KMBC shows police appear to handcuff and arrest the man wearing a hoodie.
In the video, someone, presumably police, can be heard yelling, “The gun's here!” In the meantime, the potential suspect remains in custody.

A fan can be heard telling police, “When I tackled him, a gun came out.''
This woman can be seen picking up and moving an automatic weapon that had fallen from the suspect's coat when the men tackled him (and while he was still on the ground). All of these Chiefs fans are heroes. pic.twitter.com/ijB67CmJNZ
