Two law enforcement officers were hit by bullets Monday night during a Fourth of July celebration in Philadelphia. Both were treated and released at a local hospital.
The primary question for investigators is, was this shooting of two police officers targeted or a random act where someone was firing off a gun. Police sources told CBS3 their investigation is leaning in the direction that this was possibly stray gunfire.
