An Illinois man was arrested and charged with making a “terroristic threat” to shoot two members of the Kansas City Chiefs organization during Morgan Wallen’s concert at Arrowhead Stadium, where the country crooner was joined by team stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. Aaron Brown, of Winchester, made the threat on social media before Wallen’s show, according to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office.
While the two individuals were not identified by authorities, Chiefs quarterback Mahomes and tight end Kelce were in attendance at the event and joined the country star on stage. Kansas City police were monitoring threats at Arrowhead Stadium on Friday night when they observed the threat from X account “Gooey Bag (respectfully)” against the two NFL players who were present at the event.
The threat, which was redacted in charging documents, read: “Mr. redacted] at Arrowhead with the wife. If he brings out [redacted] or [redacted] I’ll take the f–kin shot. F–k em!” The man also included an angry message directed at the players’ Twitter accounts.
Patrick Mahomes’ pregnant wife, Brittany Mahomes, was also present at the show. Police tracked down Brown’s information through his X account and called his cellphone. He voluntarily told police he was at the stadium and told them which section he was sitting in, and officers eventually tracked him down.
When confronted with the tweet, he told police, “it was a stupid, stupid, stupid mistake.” The threat delayed the concert for about 40 minutes, officials said. Brown was charged with making a terrorist threat in the 2nd degree; his bond was set at $15,000.
Wallen, Kelce and Mahomes walked out on stage together during the event, as videos from the concert showed. Wallen donned a No. 7 Kansas City Chiefs jersey — his high school baseball number — which is worn by team kicker Harrison Butker. Butker came under fire earlier this year for making misogynistic comments.
