A heroic couple took down one of the alleged Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooters, with one tackling the suspect and the other securing the gun.

The incident unfolded quickly after gunshots rang out at the celebratory parade.

The couple described the chaotic situation and their swift actions to disarm the suspect.

They acted instinctively to protect others, with the wife even moving the firearm away.

“[There was a] big scramble in the crowd. I hear somebody [shout], ‘Get him!,'” Trey Filter said.

“I look to my left, [and] I see a flash. I tackle that individual. This other gentleman also aids me in that. It was a pretty quick thing,” he said.

“After they tackled the guy, I guess the gun fell out and landed right at my feet,” Trey’s wife Casey said.

“So I looked down, and I just immediately thought that I needed to get it [the firearm] away, so I took it and put it over by the wall that was near me and then another gentleman came and stood next to me.”

“The gun had fallen out at that point,” Casey said, “So Trey didn’t really even know if the guy had the gun on him.”

The suspected shooter’s face was not seen, and the couple’s response to the incident was to leave the scene quickly.

“It was such a whirlwind,” Casey said. “We basically just ran to the car [after the incident].”

“Anything can happen at any time, and this only solidified that,” Trey said.

The couple’s actions potentially saved lives during the tragic event that resulted in the loss of a Chiefs fan’s life and injuries to over 20 others.

“Do you realize today how many lives you probably saved?” Brian Kilmeade asked.

“Let’s hope so,” Trey said.
