Our hearts go out to the victims, their families, and all of Kansas City. 

We are in close communication with the Mayor's Office as well as the Kansas City Police Department. 

At this time, we have confirmed that all of our players, coaches, staff and their families are safe and accounted for.

We thank the local law enforcement officers and first responders who were on-scene to assist."
