Trey Filter was seen in a viral video tackling the alleged shooter at the Kansas City Chiefs Super Bowl parade.
The heroic Kansas City Chiefs fan who helped stop one of the alleged shooter’s 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.
“I literally remember when I was tackling him, ‘I sure hope this is who they were yelling at me to get.’ Because I just went, ‘boom!’ … I really don’t recall seeing him coming.”
The man was one of three people arrested after the shooting.
In a now-viral video, Filter can be seen leaping on the fleeing man and dragging him to the ground, preventing him from sprinting into the sea of confused and terrified attendees.
The suspected gunman quickly wriggled free but was immediately tackled again by a second Chiefs fan, who somersaulted in the dirt with the man in a desperate attempt to keep him at bay.
That’s when Filter jumped back into the fray and began pummeling the alleged gunman’s ribs while his wife, Casey, lunged for the gun that the fleeing man dropped during the struggle.
