Coach Andy Reid was on hand to help comfort victims and witnesses during the tragic Kansas City Super Bowl celebration parade shooting on Wednesday, February 14.

Teenager Gabe Wallace shared the 65-year-old comforted him and others amid the shooting, which left one person dead and 22 others injured, according to Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves.

“Andy Reid was trying to comfort me, which was nice,” Wallace told The Kansas City Star. “He was kind of hugging me, just like, ‘Are you OK, man? Are you OK? Just please breathe.’ He was being real nice and everything.”

Wallace added Rein then “left to check on other people.”

As reported by The Kansas City Star, the victim in the shooting has since been identified as Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two who worked as a radio DJ.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to Lisa's family and friends and all the victims and those affected by this awful tragedy.
