KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI: Travis Kelce has been generating significant attention in the media lately, drawing criticism from some quarters. However, amid the chatter, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end found support from online users. This came after he was seen at a bar shortly after a tragic shooting incident in Kansas City.

The Chiefs players recently gathered for a parade in Kansas City to celebrate their Super Bowl victory, drawing thousands of fans to the streets. Unfortunately, the joyous occasion was overshadowed by a tragic shooting incident, which resulted in at least 30 injuries and one fatality, as reported by the Daily Mail.

In the wake of this tragedy, Chiefs players, including Kelce, shared their condolences and prayers for the victims while condemning the horrific event.

Despite the somber mood, Kelce continued his celebration at a Kansas City restaurant, as documented by the Daily Mail. Despite the recent events, Kelce seemed in good spirits as he entered the Granfalloon Restaurant and Bar, with a beer in his hand.
