Madison Anderes, 24, who attended the Kansas City Super Bowl parade with her brother and mother, had to run for her life after shots rang out.
"At first we thought it was a string of fireworks," Anderes told CNN over the phone. Shortly after, she said a man standing in front of them turned around and yelled: "He's got a gun! He's got a gun!" Then a second round of pops went off, this time significantly louder.
"That's when all chaos broke out," Anderes said, who was knocked down on the ground when everyone started running. "I felt like I was going to die, I felt like a sitting duck and I was going to get shot."
After Anderes got up, she ran with her brother and mother and huddled with about 10 other people by a storefront, she said. She said by that point she witnessed law enforcement enter the scene.

Kansas City's police chief thanked law enforcement officers for running toward danger in their response to a shooting after a Super Bowl rally — while everyone else attending the celebrations ran away.
"I'm so proud of them that they ran into danger, getting two people into custody, and at the same time rendering life-sustaining aid to those victims," Kansas City Police Chief Stacey Graves said.
Two people were detained for further investigation. Officers chased one of those people shortly after they arrived at the scene of the shooting, Graves said.
"We were here for a safe celebration and because of two bad actors — or more — it is why we're standing here today. We will recover as a city," the police chief said.
Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas said he's "as heartbroken as anybody" as well as "incredibly upset, disappointed" about the Kansas Chiefs Super Bowl shooting that took place today.
Lucas added he attended the celebration with his wife and mother.
"I don't want us to have to in our country — for every big event — think about a concern of being shot," he said during a Wednesday news conference.
