A celebration of the Philadelphia Eagles’ NFC championship took a bit of a scary turn on Sunday night … when a fan in a packed crowd appeared to pull out a gun and fire it into the air.
Footage of the wild scene was posted to social media just a few hours after Philly took down the Washington Commanders, 55-23, at Lincoln Financial Field.
In the clip, you can see a man in a knit Eagles hat seems to unholster a firearm before squeezing off three shots.
Fortunately, it doesn’t look like anyone was close to being struck by the apparent gunfire — but you can hear in the video several fans were stunned by what just took place.
“That was definitely a gun,” one said.
There were eyebrow-raising moments elsewhere in the city following the Eagles’ big W … as Philadelphians were seen climbing street poles, lighting off fireworks and even clashing with riot gear-adorned police officers.
Unclear how many arrests — if any — were made … we’ve reached out to the Philadelphia Police Department for comment, but so far, no word back yet.
