Today is Thursday, July 7th. Good morning, Kathy.

Good morning. In the news this morning, Philadelphia police officials are still not sure where the bullets came from that injured two officers during the city's 4th of July celebration on the Ben Franklin Parkway.

Chief Inspector Frank Vennor said Wednesday that the two 40 caliber bullets were fired from the

same weapon and likely traveled from quite a distance away.

Vanor said he does not believe the officers were the intended targets.

He said a 40 caliber

bullet can travel unimpeded more than a mile. The injured officers were standing at the base of the

steps of the Philadelphia Art Museum, but not next to each other when the shots were fired. In a statement

issued Wednesday morning, District Attorney Larry Krasner asked the public to be patient as the investigation

will be

very challenging. Montgomery County Sheriff Deputy John Foster, who is assigned to the bomb squad

task force, sustained a graze wound to his shoulder. A law enforcement source says Deputy Foster

thought someone had slapped him on the back. That is until another officer looked at him,

saw blood, and told him that he had been shot.

He then looked over at Philadelphia Police Officer Sergio Diggs and saw blood coming down his face.

Diggs said it felt like he had been hit over the head or an object had hit him.

The bullet that hit Diggs was most likely traveling in a downward direction and was found lodged in his hat.

Both were treated and released from the hospital and are at home recovering.

Vennor said no one reported hearing a gunshot and no other bullets were found in the area.

Still officers made the decision to evacuate the parkway.
