Travis and Jason Kelce took a break from their usual lighthearted banter to weigh in on the tragic Kansas City shooting this week … thanking the first responders for springing into action and vowing to help those affected.
The two NFL brothers dropped a surprise video ahead of Wednesday’s “New Heights” podcast episode … with Travis explaining it “didn’t feel right” to move forward with the pre-taped show without first addressing the incident after the Chiefs’ Super Bowl parade on Feb. 14 that left one dead and more than 20 others injured.
Jason said their thoughts go out to all the victims, their families and Chiefs Kingdom … also sharing his gratitude for local law enforcement officials and all those willing to step up during the unfortunate event.
The Eagles center spoke from the heart … saying, “One of the things that’s evident is how much Kansas City is coming together and rallying around the people that have been affected by this.”
He added the Kelces are currently figuring out what they can do to get involved in the recovery process … but in the meantime, he’s hoping their fans will do what they can by donating to the Chiefs’ fund for victims.
Travis ended the clip … saying, “92%ers, we appreciate you. Kansas City and Chiefs Kingdom, we love you guys. We’re with you guys and we’ll see you guys soon.”
As we previously reported, two juveniles are going to be charged as a result of the shooting … including gun-related charges and resisting arrest.
Travis — as well as his girlfriend, Taylor Swift — each donated $100k to victims of the shooting … and Patrick and Brittany Mahomes also contributed $50k to the team’s campaign.
