U.S. Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon was carjacked and robbed at gunpoint on Wednesday afternoon shortly after finishing a meeting at FDR Park, her office and police officials confirmed. She was not injured.
Scanlon and other elected officials met to discuss constituent concerns around ongoing development plans for FDR Park, a sprawling and heavily used green space at the southern edge of the city. It’s blocks away from the sports complex where the Eagles, Sixers, Flyers, and Phillies play.
The Democratic lawmaker, whose district represents parts of South Philadelphia and suburban Delaware County, was accompanied by a member of her staff, but the two drove separately, according to office spokesperson Lauren Cox.
