A Kansas City Chiefs fan was spotted sitting calmly in his chair after gunshots erupted during the Super Bowl parade.

One person was killed and at least 29 were injured after gunmen opened fire into a crowd that had gathered to watch the victory procession. 

As the wounded were carried away on stretchers and family and friends clung to each other, one fan appeared unfazed in the moments after the shooting.

Clad in a Chiefs jersey, the man lounged in a black folding chair with one leg crossed over the other.

As a sea of fans filed by, the man stayed put, gazing out over the crowd.

Americans may find it difficult not to be unfazed amid what seems like nonstop gun violence.

Some 75 people were killed and 140 injured in 44 mass shootings from January 1 to February 12, according to the Gun Violence Archive.

The latest shooting came as an estimated one million people descended on Kansas City to celebrate the Chiefs’ 25-22 overtime victory over the San Francisco 49ers.

Shots rang out inside Union Station shortly after 3:30 pm, moments after the team exited the stage.

Police worked to evacuate the train station as frantic crowds scrambled to safety. As one man appeared to sprint away, several others tackled him and pinned him to the ground, shouting: ‘We got the gun!’

The identities of the gunmen have not yet been released, though one man in a red hoodie was seen being led away by police. Three suspects were taken into custody.
