On July 4, 2022, a shooting took place during an Independence Day fireworks show in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The shooting occurred around 9:47pm, shortly after the fireworks started. Two police officers were shot, but no one was killed. The shooting led the crowd of thousands of people to flee.[1][2][3][4]
Aftermath
Both officers were released from the hospital early on July 5,[5] with one officer being treated for a shoulder injury while the other was treated for a bullet grazing their head.[6] Additionally on the 5th, the City of Philadelphia website put up a press release asking people in the area of 2500 Benjamin Franklin Parkway to submit tips to the Philadelphia Police Department via email.[7]
In a news conference on July 6, the Chief Inspector reported that ballistics testing had confirmed that both of the bullets that struck the officers came from the same gun.[8] It was also believed that the shots came from a significant distance from where the officers were at.[9]
The Philadelphia Fraternal Order of Police issued a reward for information regarding the shooting on the 6th.[10][11] The reward was increased by more than double the amount from donations from another union and from a former officer.[12]
Earlier that day, there had been a mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois.[13]
Background
The Benjamin Franklin Parkway is a boulevard between the Philadelphia City Hall and the Philadelphia Museum of Art. It had been closed off to traffic to allow pedestrians to view a concert and fireworks show on Independence Day.[14]
