A CHEER-inducing proposal, a shameful arrest, and a streetlight-climbing beer-drinker have all been spotted in the first moments of Friday's Super Bowl Parade. As Philadelphia Eagles return to their hometown to party with fans, cops are on edge over the weekend's horror violence and last year's grim mass shooting in Kansas City that killed 1 and wounded 22. Over one million people are set to flood the Pennsylvania city streets to catch a glimpse of superstar players like quarterback Jalen Hurts and head coach Nick Sirianni.

Not everyone is there for a quiet celebration, however, as the city has already seen an influx of arrests since the Eagles pummeled the Kansas City Chiefs in a 40-22 takedown. On Sunday night and into Monday morning, at least two people were killed, and forty shots rang out on streets close to the Super Bowl parties. Now, anxious cops an city officials are taking special precautions to keep attendees safe from bad actors, especially after last year's Super Bowl parade ended in a mass shooting.

"The parade route has been thoughtfully planned for the safety and security of all attendees," the City of Philadelphia said in a statement. "With large crowds expected, we ask everyone to celebrate responsibly and respectfully, making this a moment Philadelphia can be proud of.". Pictures taken at Friday's parade have already captured one Eagles fan hanging his head in shame as he's escorted away from festivities by Pennsylvania State Troopers.

Another partier was seen drinking a beer after he shimmied up a light pole to get a better look at the floats. But others aren't bothered by the rowdiness, and donned their midnight green and black gear as they bundled up against the frigid temperatures. One couple was seen getting engaged in the thick of the crowd as onlookers screamed with excitement. On February 14, 2024, Chiefs superstars abruptly stopped their celebration when shots rang out in Kansas City, resulting in one death and at least 22 horror gunshot injuries.

It's belived that the shooting stemmed from a fight between several people, and nine heartless alleged criminals have been arrested since that day. Several of the accused criminals were caught with illegal firearms, and some have ben linked to a gun trafficking ring, according to police. Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a local DJ, was the woman killed in the gunfire, and she was remembered as a dedicated mom and talented musician in a Kansas City band.

"Lisa was absolutely an amazing woman, great mother, great sister, great friend. She just loved having fun and helping others," her brother Beto Lopez told CNN after the tragedy. "The things that she did in this community are going to be felt and the people are going to be hurting for a while with her loss.". March 12 - Free Agency begins.
