The gunshots that injured two police officers during Philadelphia's Fourth of July celebration appear to have been fired from "quite a distance away" from the Welcome America festival grounds on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway, police said Wednesday. No arrests have been made in the ongoing investigation.
Officials with the City of Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Police Department provided an update on the investigation into the 4th of July shooting and say both officers were grazed by bullets from the same weapon.
