Fan Claims K.C. Shooter Was 'Missing His Jaw' & Was Carrying AR-Style Rifle

The fan who helped tackle the shooting suspect during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowlparade is speaking out.

Tony Janssens, longtime Chiefs fan and Navy veteran, was attending the Chiefs Super Bowl parade in Kansas City earlier this week, which, as previously reported, is where the mass shooting took place, which has left one dead and several others injured.

Shortly after the gunshots went off, everyone went running, including the suspects -- one of whom was tackled to the ground by Janssens and a few other guys.

Now, he is speaking out, revealing the terrifying details of the shooting.

The Navy vet described the moment he heard the shots go off during the Super Bowl parade.

“It didn’t sound like fireworks to me,” Janssens recalled. “And then I heard another couple of rounds go off, and then that’s when I dropped to the ground again."

"I looked over to my right where the shots were coming from, and I see a guy lying on the ground with a couple of bullet holes at his side, and he’s already kind of lying down — I kind of understand the severity of the situation,” he continued.

He told Fox Digital News that he was shocked at how many people were trying to record the situation rather than trying to seek cover and safety.

“Like, this is real life. You need to get out of here. Like, don’t just sit here and try to record or anything. So I’m telling people to, ‘Leave! Leave! Leave!,’” he said.

Janssens then took off running to seek cover, and that is when he accidentally bumped into one of the suspects. At the time, he did not know if he was a suspect or a victim, as he noticed he was "basically missing his jaw" and he was "freaking out."

“He doesn’t know what to do. And then his buddies are kind of scrambling. They’re all like, don’t know if they should keep running or help his buddy, since he’s bleeding now,” Janssens recalled of the situation. “I ran into him, so I kind of backed away for a second. I’m, like, backpedaling. I’m looking at him, trying to understand what’s going on."

“I didn’t know if he was a victim, or I didn’t know if he was part of the shooting," the Navy vet continued to explain, however, his military training then kicked in and his gut told him to keep an eye on the individual.

“I saw him hand over a bag to the other two individuals that he was with. And I see them kind of run — trying to take off and try to escape. And they’re running towards these two semi-trucks, and they get in between these two semi-trucks,” he went on to tell the outlet.

On the day of the parade, it was around 65 degrees, so when Janssens saw one of the individuals wearing a Carhart jacket, he knew something was up.

“‘I think these guys might be part of it. They just kind of look fishy,’” Janssens said he told a state trooper at the time.

That is when the man began running again. “I’m jumping barricades, we’re running down the street, and I’m trying to clear people out the way. I’m yelling as I’m chasing after him, ‘Get this guy! Get this guy!’” he said.

As they were chasing him, Janssens was yelling at other bystanders to try and get them to stop the suspect.

“Luckily, these four other guys heard me. And they turn around and said they could hear me yelling to tackle this guy. And I saw him, and luckily they just stepped up and helped tackle him,” he told Fox News Digital.

“As they were tackling him, I think I saw another guy was running away as well. So I kept chasing that guy and then it was just a dead pursuit. So I hurried back and helped these guys try to sustain the situation until cops arrived,” the Navy vet added.

When thinking back to the incident, Janssens says he noticed a bag with an AR-style rifle and extended magazines, however, he is unsure if they were used in the mass shooting.

The incident killed one and left nearly two dozen others injured. “I’m more than confident that Kansas City will come together, you know, try to get past and work together with everyone, get answers and just try to, you know, mitigate these things from happening again,” Janssens said.
