According to TMZ, Mahomes rented out the entire restaurant and had police for crowd control. The restaurant owner reportedly told TMZ that several players had arrived at the establishment for the private event. Now, whether this was still a celebration of their Super Bowl win is unknown.

Patrick Mahomes and Chiefs' Super Bowl party cut short
Wednesday was supposed to be a day of fun and celebration as Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs were welcomed home as Super Bowl champions. Mahomes and the Chiefs players and staff, along with thousands of fans, were celebrating a third Super Bowl title in five years.
It was a huge accomplishment for Kansas City as it became the first team since the 2004 New England Patriots to win back-to-back titles.
But it didn't take long for things to go south. Shots were fired near Union Station. Of the 22 victims, nine of them were children. One person killed was later revealed as Radio DJ Lisa Lopez.
Given the setting, how such a thing could happen is hard to wrap your head around.
