The alleged threat to shoot two Kansas City Chiefs players led to the felony charges against an Illinois man.
Authorities said that 23-year-old Aaron Brown of Winchester, Illinois, made a “terroristic threat” before Friday’s Morgan Wallen performance at Arrowhead Stadium.
At Morgan Wallen’s Kansas City concert on Friday night, Patrick Mahomes (left) and Travis Kelce (right) were there.
An Illinois man has been accused with allegedly threatening the two.
According to the Jackson County Prosecutor’s Office, detectives from the Kansas City police department found a threat against two people posted on X.
As police looked for Brown and his girlfriend, the event at the Chiefs’ stadium was postponed by forty minutes.
Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes, two studs for the Chiefs, came there and hung out with Wallen backstage.
Brittany, Mahomes’s wife, is currently pregnant with their third kid, and she was there with him.
The authorities did not formally identify Kelce and Mahomes in the court filings.

According to the Kansas City Star, Chiefs defensive tackle Chris Jones was also present for the performance.
“Mr. [redacted] at Arrowhead with the wife,” stated the threat on X, which was redacted in the charging documents. I will take the shot if he uses [redacted] or [redacted]. “Hate them!”
According to the news release from Jackson County, Brown “confirmed to officers where he was located at Arrowhead.
Authorities contacted him via cell phone following the purported online threat.
According to the New York Post, he subsequently willingly notified the authorities that he was there at the stadium and provided them with the area in which he was seated.

When Kelce and Mahomes joined Wallen backstage before the game, they became internet sensations.
The Chiefs’ kicker Harrison Butker wore the number seven, and Wallen donned a replica jersey with that number.
Following his speech at a Kansas college commencement earlier this year, Butker invited controversy.
In discussing issues like pride, birth control, and COVID limits, he implied that many women would always remain at home and take care of the house.
