Patrick Mahomes revealed why he didn’t call for stricter gun laws following a fatal shooting during the team’s Super Bowl parade in February.

A 43-year-old mother of two was killed that day in Kansas City, with court documents indicating at least six people fired guns.

Speaking to TIME, Mahomes said: “I continue to educate myself. I don’t want to quickly respond to something that requires a lot of education to really learn and make an influential comment based on that. But I know we have to find a solution to stop these things.

Following the shooting — which left about two dozen people injured — Mahomes and his wife, Brittany, reportedly donated $50,000 to a fund created by the Chiefs to help victims of the shooting, as well as to the first responders involved.

They also visited two young sisters – aged just eight and ten – who were hospitalized after being shot in the legs.

The shooting reportedly broke out following a domestic dispute between two groups.

Mahomes also told TIME that he would remain silent ahead of this year’s US presidential election and would not publicly support a candidate as he did in 2020.

“I don’t want to pressure anyone to vote for a certain president,” he said. “I want people to use their voice, regardless of who they believe in. I want them to do research.”
