Chiefs Rally Shooting victims raise a lawsuit against the KC Sports Commission

Kansas City, Mo. -A victim of the Chiefs Super Bowl Rally shooting has filed a lawsuit against the Greater Kansas City Sports Commission this week, in which the commission “did not carry out any reasonable security measures in order to protect the thousands of participants who gathered in front of the Union Station”.

James Lemons was shot into the leg as he transported his daughter away from chaos.

In the lawsuit, which was submitted on Monday, March 3, he claimed that the sports commission “could not ensure a safe and safe environment” by neglecting “security demonstrations, controlled entry points and a visible safety presence”.

Lemons said that the sports commission did not present such “reasonable precautionary measures”, “the participants exposed to an unacceptable and predictable risk of damage”.

The suit of Lemons compare the “failure” of the 2024 rally with successful large -scale events in the same place, which went without a follower because they contained “comprehensive security protocols”. In the petition, Lemons expressly hopes to “work for safer public event practices in Kansas City” by holding the Commission accountable.

The sports commission sent an explanation to KSHB 41 on Wednesday in response to the lawsuit.

The lawsuit demands that the case are brought to court by the jury.
