Two Philadelphia-area police officers were shot Monday evening while providing security for a July 4th concert, city officials said.
A 36-year-old Philadelphia Highway Patrol officer was grazed by a bullet on his forehead, and a 44-year-old officer from the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office was shot in the shoulder during a concert on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway.
It was unclear where the bullets came from or who shot them. Both men have been discharged from the hospital.
The incidents occurred just hours after a 22-year-old man allegedly used a “high-powered rifle” to shoot July 4th parade attendees in a town just outside of Chicago.
