Editor’s note
The following story contains details about gun violence, and may be distressing for some readers.
Two women were shot in the legs Friday during an argument with another person near the Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl parade, police said.
It was not clear exactly where the shooting occurred or whether it had any connection to the celebration, police said.
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 onto the art museum.
A year ago, a shooting at Kansas City’s Super Bowl victory rally left one person dead and nearly two dozen wounded.
Dump trucks and heavy equipment blocked many of the side streets along Friday’s route in Philadelphia. City schools closed for the parade, along with city courts and other agencies.
