On a sunny Friday afternoon, the city of Philadelphia was abuzz with excitement as the Philadelphia Eagles celebrated their victory in Super Bowl LIX. The parade was in full swing along the Ben Franklin Parkway when reports of a shooting began to emerge.
According to witnesses and CBS News, two women were wounded in the incident. The shooting occurred near the park Towne Place apartments, possibly after an argument between the victims and the shooter, who was wearing an Eagles jersey. The women, who appeared to be in their 20s, were taken to a nearby medical tent for treatment and are currently in stable condition.
Despite the chaos, the parade continued on and the crowd of revelers did not seem to hear the gunshots. However, an aerial image of the scene showed an ambulance surrounded by people, many of whom were wearing the Eagles' signature green team color.
Authorities immediately began investigating the incident, examining CCTV footage in hopes of identifying the shooter among the thousands of people wearing Eagles jerseys. News Chopper 3 flew over the area, which was about a block away from the end of the parade route where Eagles players and coaches were giving speeches.
The Eagles organization did not mention the reported shooting, but there were other incidents during the parade. General manager Howie Roseman was struck in the forehead by a beer can thrown by fans, while rookie defensive back Cooper DeJean was hit in the eye by a Bud Light chain he wore.
Despite these interruptions, an estimated one million people gathered in Philadelphia to celebrate the Eagles' 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs. Sadly, this event also brought to mind the shooting at last year's Super Bowl victory parade for the Chiefs, where one woman was killed and 22 were wounded. Two adults and two juveniles were arrested in connection with the incident, and two men were charged with murder.
As the city cleans up and recovers from this year's parade, authorities will continue to investigate the shooting and take measures to prevent such incidents in the future.
