Travis and Jason Kelce's “New Heights” podcast is scheduled for its weekly episode on Wednesday, but following the tragic shooting at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade last week, they released a video with their article.
The Kelces have not commented publicly on the Feb. 14 tragedy that left one dead and more than 20 injured after a shooting near Union Station in Kansas City.
Travis said it “didn't feel right” to not say anything and post his pre-recorded episode.

“We just wanted to say that our hearts go out to all the victims, their families, Chiefs Kingdom and really all of Kansas City that was there on a day to try to celebrate the community. It's unfortunate and tragic the events that occurred,” Jason said.
“We also want to thank the local authorities who jumped into action. The first responders on the scene and anyone who was willing to help those affected by this tragedy.”

Travis also said links to the Chiefs Emergency Response Fund are in his “New Heights” bio if people would like to donate.
“Your donation goes to support victims and their families, violence prevention and mental health services,” he said.

Jason noted that the Kansas City community, despite the tragedy that occurred, came together in waves.
“One of the things that is evident is how much Kansas City is coming together and supporting the people who have been affected by this,” he said. “One of the beautiful things we get from doing this podcast is the wonderful community that exists. 'The 92%ers,' everyone who watches this show, we're still figuring out a way to get involved, and obviously you can donate to these links now itself. But we plan to do something in the future. We're trying to locate it right now, we have some ideas. But be sure to follow us and tell them how we're going to get involved.”
“92%ers, we appreciate you. Kansas City and Chiefs Kingdom, we love you and we'll see you soon,” Travis concluded in the video.
