Nearly three months after the Super Bowl parade shooting, recovery from those wounds includes a surprising gray area in medicine: whether the bullets should be removed.
At the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade, Sarai Holguin heard what she thought were fireworks, unaware she had been shot. Holguin underwent surgery and doctors opted to leave the bullet in her leg. She’s now using a walker to get around. James Lemons, 39, wants the bullet removed from his thigh so he can go back to work.
“She’s like: ‘I’m getting you to a hospital. I’m tired of people being in my way,’” Lemons recalled. “I’ve never seen my wife like that. I’m looking at her like, ‘That’s kinda sexy.’” “I was a little baffled by it, but I was like, ‘OK, whatever, I’ll get out of here,’” Lemons recalled. “I gotta lift 100 pounds every night,” Lemons recalled telling his doctors. “I gotta lift my child. I can’t work like this.”
Mireya Nelson was one of at least 24 people injured by gunfire during the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade on Feb. 14, 2024. Here, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, visit her at Children’s Mercy hospital. Holguin, a native of Puebla, Mexico, who became a U.S. citizen in 2018, had never seen so much chaos, so many paramedics working under such pressure. They were “anonymous heroes,” she said.
“It has been a huge trauma for me,” Holguin said through an interpreter. “I was injured and at the hospital without doing anything wrong. was a moment to play, to relax, to be together.” “If you’re able to make a story around what that means for that bullet to be in your body, that gives you power; that gives you agency and choice,” Punch said.
Finally she heard that the Mexican Consulate in Kansas City could help, and the consul pointed her to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, with which she registered as an official victim. Now all of her bills are being paid, she said. Getting ready to leave, Mireya and one of her friends were trying to call the driver of their group, but they couldn’t get cell service in the large crowd.“I saw blood on my hands. So then I knew I got shot. Yeah, and I just crawled to a tree,” Mireya said. “I actually didn’t know where I got shot at, at first. I just saw blood on my hands.”
