President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris called on Congress to pass more strongly gun control measures in separate comments Wednesday night, hours after the shooting.

Biden issued a statement specifically recommending that lawmakers ban assault weapons, among other gun control laws, and called on Americans across the country to join his stance.

The Chiefs issued their own statement, sharing their condolences and confirming that all players, coaches, staff and their families were safe and accounted for.

“We are truly saddened by the senseless act of violence that occurred outside Union Station at the conclusion of today’s parade and rally,” the statement said. “Our hearts go out to the victims, their families and all of Kansas City. We are in close communication with the mayor’s office as well as the Kansas City Police Department.

“At this time, we have confirmed that all of our players, coaches, staff and their families are safe and accounted for. We are grateful to local law enforcement and first responders who were on scene to assist.”
