PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Two Philadelphia police officers working at the city’s Fourth of July celebration suffered graze wounds when shots rang out, causing scores of frightened people to flee the scene on foot. It’s not clear what sparked the shooting, which occurred around 9:45 p.m. Monday in front of the Philadelphia Art Museum, or if either officer was the intended target. One officer suffered a wound to the forehead while the other was hit in the shoulder. Both officers were treated at a hospital and were later released. No other injuries were reported in the incident.
