The Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl celebration took a tragic turn Friday … cops say two people were injured by gunfire while enjoying the parade.
The Philadelphia Police Department said in a statement to TMZ Sports a 27-year-old woman and a 20-year-old woman were both shot in the lower body at around 2:35 PM — just a few blocks from where Eagles players addressed the thousands that had gathered to soak in the team’s Super Bowl LIX victory over the Chiefs.
Cops tell us both victims were transported to a nearby hospital … where, thankfully, they’re now in stable condition.
“At this time,” the PPD added, “no crime scene has been located, and no weapon has been recovered. Police have not made any arrests, and the investigation remains ongoing.”
Authorities urged people with more information to contact the PPD.
Birds backers filled Philly streets beginning early Friday … and packed roadways until the end of the festivities at around 3 PM ET.
There was no mention of the shooting on the event’s broadcast.
This is now the second time in the last year there’s been gun violence at a Super Bowl parade — in February 2024, one person was killed and dozens of others were injured in a shooting near where the Chiefs were relishing in their win over the 49ers.
