The good news is that this shooting isn’t as catastrophic as the one that spoiled the Super Bowl parade for the Kansas City Chiefs last year. As Eagles fans celebrated their second Super Bowl, avenging the brutal loss against Kansas City in Super Bowl 57, shots rang out.

Details are scarce, but at least two people were injured. We don’t have any reports of fatalities. The suspect reportedly wore a gray Eagles jersey, which does nothing to narrow the suspect pool. Around 1 million people reportedly gathered for the event (via CBS News):

Again, it’s not good that there was a shooting, obviously, but it doesn’t appear to be the mayhem that ensued in Kansas City last year, where 40 people were injured, 22 of which sustained gunshots. One person, local radio DJ Lisa Lopez-Galvan, was killed.
