Authorities say three people were killed and at least 11 others were injured in a shooting in Philadelphia late Saturday night.
It all started about 12 a.m., when officers on patrol heard many gunshots coming from the 200 block of South Street.
Who are the victims of the Philadelphia shooting?
During an early Sunday morning news conference, Inspector D F Pace said the officers spotted several active gunmen firing into a throng.
One of the officers opened fire on one of the assailants. Pace said it’s unclear whether that suspect was hit.
That suspect, on the other hand, dropped his firearm and fled.
At least two firearms were found at the site, one of which had an extended magazine, according to Pace.
Along the 200 and 300 blocks, ‘many’ shot casings were discovered.
Gunfire struck 14 individuals in all. Three persons have died and 11 others have been injured among the victims.
Two males and a woman were among the people killed. All three were shot many times in the body.
Their identities have remained a secret.
