Hero Dad Who Tackled a Suspect in Chiefs Parade Shooting Speaks Out: I Heard 'Get Him'

Trey Filter was captured on video tackling a suspected gunman as the man ran through crowds after Wednesday's parade in Missouri

A man who tackled a suspected gunman after the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade shooting in Missouri on Wednesday has broken his silence after footage of his heroic efforts was released.

Trey Filter, a father of two from Wichita, Kansas, was captured on camera tackling a suspected assailant as the man ran through the busy crowds after Wednesday’s Super Bowl parade, where gunshots rang out and killed one woman and injured 22 others.

“There was a lot of commotion, I could definitely tell that someone was being chased,” Trey recalled of the moment on Good Morning America on Thursday. “Couldn’t see much but heard ‘Get him,’ saw a flash next to me and I remember I jumped and remember thinking, ‘I hope this is who they were talking about.’ ”

He continued, “We were pretty elated once we knew we had him. They started yelling, ‘There’s a gun, there’s a gun,’ so we were pretty steadfast in holding him down there.”

Trey, who attended the parade with his two sons and his wife, Casey Filter, told The Post of the moment a possible gunman ran by him, which quickly circulated on social media: “My brain tells me, ‘That must be him.’ ”

In the video, a man runs through the bustling crowds and Trey grabs him, pulling him down to the ground as another man jumps in to help hold the suspected gunman down. Trey's wife Casey grabbed the gun. Paul Contreras appeared on Today, Thursday, and identified himself as the other man who tackled the suspected shooter.

She said that it was a “fight or flight” reaction from them both.

“We just did what we felt we needed to do in that moment. I don't think we could have just walked away being right there like that,” she told Chris Cuomo during a NewsNation interview.

Their sons, who are 12 and 15, according to The Post, are “pretty proud of their dad,” Casey continued. The boys were standing right next to their father as he helped tackle the suspected gunman to the ground.

There is no motive as of yet for the shooting, according to Graves. She told reporters that the shooting began on the west side of the city's Union Station immediately after a rally honoring the Chiefs, who won the Super Bowl on Sunday.

According to a PEOPLE reporter on the ground at the parade, loud pops rang out as soon as the confetti began falling as players left the stage. Witnesses at the scene said they saw multiple people bleeding, although it was not clear what the source of their injuries was.
