Emily Tavis was on a first date in December when she looked up and realized they were driving past the intersection where a bullet ripped through her leg at last year ’s Super Bowl victory parade.

The Chiefs lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in Sunday 's Super Bowl .

Jacob Gooch Sr. hasn’t worked since the parade; his job required standing for 10-hour shifts four days a week.

His foot didn't heal correctly and he had surgery in August ; his short-term disability ran out.

His employer held his job for a while before releasing him in August .

He doesn't know if he'll ever play football again, a mainstay of his life.

Gabriella took up boxing after the parade, then switched to wrestling.

Bridget thinks it’s partly due to the emotion of the anniversary.

The family has carried the trauma differently.
