At least two people were shot in Philadelphia near the parade route celebrating the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory Friday.
The Philadelphia Police Department has provided a statement to Fox News Digital confirming the situation.
“Authorities are investigating a double shooting that occurred on the highway near the 2300 block of Ben Franklin Parkway at approximately 2:35 p.m. Two women sustained gunshot wounds outside the parade footprint. The victims have been identified as a 27-year-old Hispanic female, who suffered a gunshot wound to her left leg, and a 20-year-old Asian female, who was shot in the upper left thigh. Both victims were transported by medics to Presbyterian Hospital, where they are currently listed in stable condition,” the statement read.
“At this time, no crime scene has been located, and no weapon has been recovered. Police have not made any arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing. Anyone with information regarding this incident is urged to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.”
CBS News was the first to report that two people were shot.
The Philadelphia Inquirer, citing Philadelphia Police, also reported the two victims were women who appeared to be in their 20s and that they were shot by a man in an Eagles jersey after an argument.
