'I'm waiting for something bad to happen all the time. So I'll be happy when I'm not here when I'm not mayor.' Mayor Jim Kenney responds to Philly's gun violence problem after 2 officers were shot during the Fourth of July fireworks show on the parkway
The gunfire caused chaos on the parkway and the sound of the explosions from the fireworks made it harder to hear where the shots were coming from and even harder to find who fired them, police say.
A 44-year-old officer assigned to the Montgomery County bomb squad was shot in the right shoulder. A 36-year-old officer assigned to highway patrol suffered a graze wound to the head. Both officers have been released from the hospital.“Tonight’s shooting o the Parkway is a truly horrific incident for our city. I’m deeply grateful that the two officers were not gravely injured and they have been treated and released from the hospital,” the tweet read.

Our traditions cannot and will not be ruined by the scourge of gun violence. I love this city, and as Mayor, there’s nothing more I want than to help solve this problem and keep our residents and visitors safe.
