At least two people were shot at a Super Bowl LIX victory parade for the Philadelphia Eagles on Friday, according to multiple reports.
The victims—two women who were both shot in the leg—are both in stable condition, reported CBS. Though the exact details of what led to the incident are unclear, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that a man in a grey Eagles jersey argued with at least one of the women.
Investigating police on the scene said the shooting happened at 23rd and Spring Garden Streets in Philadelphia’s Spring Garden neighborhood as an estimated one million revelers took to the streets to celebrate the Eagles’ win over the Kansas City Chiefs in last weekend’s Super Bowl.
Early Friday morning, fans flooded social media with photos and videos from the event, capturing several of the team’s players joining in on the festivities, which included a roasted pig resembling Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes and requests for selfies and autographs.
The Philadelphia Inquirer shared a clip on X of linebacker Zack Baun signing, then kissing, a newborn.
Yet it appears the parade may have grown too rowdy in some areas.
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman had to pull back from the action after being struck in the forehead and bloodied by a rogue beer can, according to accounts of the incident on X.
A photo of Roseman with a cut on his head quickly went viral on X among other photos of the festivities.
“Howie Roseman telling us not to throw beer at him after he got hit in the head with one earlier 😭 #EaglesParade,” wrote one X commentator who captured the moment.
