Authorities are now urging everyone to leave the area “in order to facilitate treatment of shooting victims.”
Video from the scene shows just how horrifying things got … you can see in footage multiple cops had their guns drawn as they raced inside Union Station to deal with the matter.
The KCPD said in its statement the officers were “working to provide for the safety of everyone inside union station and expedite care of those injured.”

NFL Network’s James Palmer, meanwhile, said he and his colleagues were initially instructed to get under a stage after the gunfire erupted. Minutes later, though, they were escorted from the scene.
Following the mayhem, Chiefs linebacker Drue Tranquill posted prayers on his X page for those injured … writing, “Pray that doctors & first responders would have steady hands & that all would experience full healing.”
