The heroic Kansas City Chiefs fan who helped stop one of the alleged shooters at the team’s Super Bowl Parade Wednesday tackled the man to the ground without stopping to think — and his wife grabbed the firearm.

Trey Filter heard somebody shout “Get him!” seconds before he saw a flash of white speeding through a panicked crowd of revelers who were ducking for cover after gunshots rang out.

“My brain tells me, ‘That must be him,'” Filter recalled to The Post hours after the shooting that left one dead and 22 others injured.

Will the dad be arrested for not going along the DEI and letting the perp get away for injustices years ago? (sarc)

I was just yelling, ‘F your gun!’ and I was just hitting him in his ribs. It was great. You know, America stuff,” Filter said.

Love the guy's attitude....

Filter stood up to a round of applause, looked around for his two sons and plainly said: “Get your mother, we’re getting the f–k out of here.”

They arrested and charged the subway hero who detained the nut who said he would kill people. Bizarro world.

Filter believes the weapon was an AK-47 assault rifle, but police would not confirm when asked by The Post..................

Were the words "Save Palestine" on the butt?

Good job Trey!!!

No need to add the /sarc tag because you asked a valid question.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Did they identify the perp yet? Seems when they don’t it is usually not a MAGA loving, heterosexual of the Judeo/Christian persuasion.

Back in my day racking a guy didn’t involve the ribs.

[pfflier]

The guys that stopped the perp are what has made America great through the years. It could be unhealthy to be a bad guy in the flyover states.

[Red Badger]

I find it difficult to believe an AK-47 could have been concealed that easily.................

[ealgeone]

A real man.

Somehow I do not believe this guy said, "I believe it was an AK-47 assault rifle" when asked.

First that crossed my mind, too.

[peggybac]

Love this guy! We have here a real man.

[xoxox]

^first thing

[xoxox]

the media corrected his thoughts.

[joe fonebone]

I was wondering the same thing.
He was white and the perp was black, correct?

Citizen HERO

Imagine if the 49ers had won with the rally in San Francisco. They’d run away like little girls.
