The incident near the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl parade route didn’t appear to impact the planned celebrations.
PHILADELPHIA — Two women were shot near the Eagles’ Valentines Day Super Bowl parade in Philadelphia Friday afternoon, according to multiple media reports.
Both women are in stable condition and were shot in the leg, police told The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Authorities told the publication the shooting happened after an argument. CBS Philadelphia says the shooting happened on 23rd and Spring Garden Streets.
It’s unclear what the argument that led to the shooting entailed, if the victims knew the shooter or if the parade route was directly impacted.
Police are investigating and no other information was available at this time.
Just weeks ago, a college student died falling from a street pole after the Eagles’ won the NFC championship game.
A year ago, a shooting at Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory rally left one person dead and nearly two dozen wounded.
There was a large police presence along the Philadelphia parade route, which stretched from South Philadelphia where the Eagles play all the way to City Hall and then onto the art museum.
Dump trucks and heavy equipment blocked many of the side streets along the route. City schools closed for the parade, along with city courts and other agencies.
