Two women — identified as a 27-year-old Hispanic woman and a 20-year-old Asian woman — were both shot in the legs in downtown Philadelphia on Friday, February 14 while attending the parade celebrating the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl LIX win against the Kansas City Chiefs. The women were taken to a nearby hospital following the shooting and were listed in a stable condition, USA Today reported.
According to the police, the investigation into the incident is ongoing and no weapons have been recovered or arrests made.

The incident occurred as the Eagles and their fans gathered to celebrate the team’s Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs, which took place in New Orleans on Sunday, February 9. The Eagles defeated the Chiefs in an unexpected blowout, with a final score of 40-22.
Members of the team, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Saquon Barkley, head coach Nick Sirianni and former Eagles star Jason Kelce were all part of the festivities.
Prior to the Super Bowl, the Chiefs announced they would not hold a victory parade if they won. At their parade in February 2024, one person was killed and 24 others were injured in a mass shooting near the parade route.

The School District of Philadelphia announced all schools and administrative offices were closed on Friday for the Super Bowl celebration.
The Super Bowl showdown was an upset for the Chiefs, who ultimately didn’t make history with a third consecutive Super Bowl victory. Sunday’s blowout was Travis Kelce’s worst performance in a Super Bowl to date. The tight end had only four catches for 39 yards.
“Hats off to the Eagles, man. They got after us. All three phases,” Travis told reporters after the game. “[We] couldn’t get it going offensively. They just got after us on all three phases, and on top of that, turnovers, penalties, playing behind the sticks on offense … dropped passes, not taking advantage of the play call and executing them. There’s a lot that goes into it. You don’t lose like that without everything going bad.”
