Amidst the triumph and fanfare of the Philadelphia Eagles' Super Bowl LIX victory celebration yesterday, the jubilation was punctured by a wave of unease as two women were reportedly shot near the festivities. The incident occurred just after 2:30 p.m. on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, where tens of thousands of Eagles fans were assembled to revel in their team's triumph and listen to speeches, confirmed NBC Philadelphia.

The victims, a 27-year-old woman with a gunshot wound to her left leg and a 20-year-old woman shot in the upper left thigh, were spirited away to the hospital and are in stable condition, police relayed on Friday after the parade this information coming from CBS Philadelphia. The celebration, which had drawn Eagles supporters from different locales to witness the team's win over the Kansas City Chiefs, was staggered by the incident, and as officials and players continued with their speeches the crowd was oblivious to the undercurrent of chaos that briefly gripped the periphery of the event.

Police are still piecing together what transpired, as an official crime scene has not been located and a weapon has yet to be recovered. With no arrests made and the investigation continuing, authorities urge anyone with information to step forward. These details were elaborated by WGAL, which also noted the shooting's proximity to where fans had gathered for the scheduled speeches by Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro and Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker.
