Authorities say an off-duty security guard at Philadelphia's Fashion District was shot in the leg while walking to a bus stop on Tuesday. While the victim is expected to physically recover, police fear the shooting could have been worse due to the heavy foot traffic that is normally around the Fashion District on pleasant spring nights.
Officials released surveillance video of two suspects on Thursday, saying they are searching for a man and woman in connection to the shooting.
No additional details were released by authorities.
