Share and Follow

Two women have been shot at the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl parade following an argument.  

According to police, the shooting occurred close to the 2300 block of Ben Franklin Parkway, which was just half a mile away from where Eagles players were celebrating their victory on stage at the Philadelphia Museum of Art.

Officials in the City of Brotherly Love said that two women, aged 27 and 20, had been shot in the legs near the parade by an unknown man. 

The 27-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to her left leg, while the 20-year-old was shot in the upper left thigh. 

Both women were rushed to Presbyterian Hospital where they are currently listed as being in a stable condition, according to police. 

Officers said that no weapon has been recovered and no arrests have been made as their investigation continues. 

Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore informed The Philadelphia Inquirer that the individual involved was dressed in an Eagles jersey and that the incident followed an argument.

Sources told the outlet  that the two women were near a skate park when a fight erupted and a man let off shots.

The 27-year-old was a bystander and didn’t know the other woman, the law enforcement source said.

Aerial images from CBS News showed an ambulance attempting to drive through a throng of people. 

This incident follows a mass shooting from the previous Super Bowl Parade for the Kansas City Chiefs, where 33 individuals were injured and one lost their life.

Upwards of one million people were expected to descend on Philadelphia for the celebrations on Friday. 

It came after Eagles general manager Howie Roseman was left bloodied during the parade after being struck in the forehead when fans threw items at the team. 

Defensive back CJ Gardner-Johnson also made headlines at the parade as he wore a rude sweatshirt that took aim at Taylor Swift. 

The parade began on Friday in South Philadelphia, continuing towards Broad Street as thousands of Eagles fans packed the streets. 

The route ended at the Philadelphia Museum of Art on the famous ‘Rocky Steps’, where stars including Jalen Hurts addressed huge crowds. 

The stars thanked the city for its response to their landslide win against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, but made no mention of the shooting in their remarks.

Although the shooting unfolded less than a mile from where the Eagles celebrated, it was not directly on the parade route. 

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker and other city leaders earlier this week implored the team´s exuberant fans to stay safe and keep the mood festive.

‘In the midst of all this beauty, all of the sacrifices this team has made to meet this moment, we don´t want it to all go by the wayside,’ the mayor said.

The shock parade shooting comes a year after the previous Super Bowl parade in Kansas City ended in violence as 33 people were wounded in a horror incident. 

Two adults and two juveniles were arrested for the incident, which police said came after an altercation that led several people to draw guns. 

Huge crowds were in the city for the parade, with terrifying footage capturing the frantic aftermath of the shooting as panicked fans ran for their lives.
