Chaos erupted at the Kansas City Chiefs’ victory parade, but amidst the panic emerged heroes: Trey Filter and his wife Casey. Extra’s Billy Bush spoke to the couple about their terrifying experience and their remarkable actions.
From Fan to Hero:
- Trey: “I didn’t think much,” he admits, “I saw a commotion and people yelling ‘Get him!’ I just reacted.” His quick action led him to tackle the suspect, later identified as carrying an assault rifle.
- Billy: “You’re that guy who runs towards danger, Trey.”
In Parkland the cop on campus did nothing
In Uvalde the cops did nothing
In Kansas City the cops did nothing.Too often the “good guys” with guns only prove to be cowards with guns. More cops will not end gun violence. https://t.co/cTQenu6VWY

Holding Down the Threat:
- Trey: “Another gentleman helped hold him down. My main concern was whether the suspect was still armed.”
- Casey: “The gun fell during the tackle. I saw it and knew I had to get it away.” Her swiftness prevented further harm.
