Gunfire from several shooters killed three people
Several shooters opened fire in a Philadelphia Shooting neighborhood Saturday night. According to police, the first shooter was in the 400 block of South Street and fired multiple rounds at several people. The shooter then escaped after the officer fired from around 10 to 15 yards away. Police recovered two guns and a magazine full of bullets near the scene. Police searched for the shooters throughout the night and found 13 bullet casings in two different locations.
Three people were killed and nine others were injured. Three of the victims were teenagers, aged 17 to 69. They were shot in the left buttocks, right hand, and shoulder. The gunmen also injured one woman and a 69-year-old man. The victims’ identities are not yet publicly released, but there is a $20,000 reward offered for information. The police department and FBI are working to determine who the shooters were and what their motive was.
A Reuters investigation into the shooter’s motives revealed that he had been armed with a handgun and ammunition. The shooters had been targeting the LGBT community. The shooting took place on South Street, a busy area with several bars and restaurants. A surveillance video of the shooting shows people running away in terror as the doors close. Although the video is not clear, Reuters was able to confirm that two of the suspects had weapons.
Injured 11 others
The police are investigating the incident and have not yet named the suspect. Of the 11 people injured, nine were under the age of 23, including a 23-year-old who was critically wounded. Another 18-year-old was shot in the hand and buttocks and a 20-year-old was shot in the forearm and shoulder. Three teenagers were also injured. A 69-year-old woman was injured in the left calf, while a 43-year-old man was shot in the ankle. The shooter is still at large.
A large crowd gathered on South Street, a busy nightlife district in Philadelphia, when multiple people began shooting into the crowd. An officer who was on patrol nearby saw multiple gunmen hurling bullets into the crowd. One officer who was within 10 to fifteen yards of the suspect fired at him three times before he dropped his gun and fled. A masked man then fled the scene. The shooting occurred during a nightclub crawl and prompted residents to lock their doors and stay inside.
After the shootout ended, officers recovered two guns from the scene, one with a loaded magazine. During the search, officers found thirteen shell casings in the area. Police said they are reviewing surveillance footage from closed businesses to identify the shooters. The search for the suspects was continuing as of Sunday morning. The police are asking the public for help identifying the shooters. They have a large number of unidentified victims.

Victims range in age from 17 to 69 years old
The statistics on sexual assault show that one in seven victims are under the age of 16. The most common age is 16, but victims can be younger, older, or both. According to the Crime Survey for England and Wales (CSEW), the majority of victims of rape and penetration since the age of 16 are either their current or ex-partners. One in seven female victims was raped by a stranger; almost half of male victims were under the age of 18.
The survey showed that women under the age of 50 years were more likely to report a sexual assault than women aged 50 to 69. In fact, women aged under 50 reported more assaults during their lifetime than their elders. In the past 12 months, the prevalence was higher among women aged 16 to 24 than in women aged 50 to 69 years old. More than half of the assault cases went to court.
Area patrolled by police officers during the summer
The shooting took place in the summer in Philadelphia. In the days following the shooting, police officers have been out in force, patrolling the area, including South Street, on weekends and during the summer. There were 13 shots fired in the area, and police are looking into possible connections. In fact, a third shooting occurred just 30 minutes earlier, with a fatality. Investigators are reviewing surveillance video from nearby businesses to determine if there are any links.
The shooting took place at Fourth and Bainbridge streets around 11 p.m. Saturday. While no one was injured, two men in black ran south on 4th and Bainbridge streets and started firing. Surveillance video obtained by The Inquirer showed that the police officers were holding a crime scene when the two men began shooting at each other. It is unclear how the Fourth Street shooting was connected to the South Street shootings.
The city of Philadelphia is now a much safer place, and the presence of police officers is expected to continue. The Philadelphia Police Department’s heightened presence has resulted in several arrests. Police have increased the number of officers in several neighborhoods in the city, including Rita’s, as well as the surrounding neighborhood. Philadelphia police commissioner Danielle Outlaw said that one of the men killed during the shooting may have been involved in a fight with another man. When they started shooting at each other, one of the men was shot fatally and the other was wounded.
Link to Chattanooga shooting
A mass shooting that left six innocent bystanders wounded in downtown Chattanooga occurred Saturday night. Multiple parties exchanged gunfire before officers arrived at the scene. After hearing gunfire, officers responded to the scene, assisted the injured, and arrested a person of interest in the shooting. The investigation is ongoing, but it is not clear what motivated the shooters to engage in such an act. Nevertheless, the incident is a tragic reminder of the dangers of gun violence and the victims’ plight.
The deadly shooting at a popular nightclub in Chattanooga left three people dead and 14 injured. At least three of those killed were struck by vehicles while fleeing the scene. The victims include two children and three adults. The other three were hit by cars that were traveling away from the scene. Many of the injured remain in critical condition. Police are investigating whether there were multiple shooters. Those who remain in critical condition are being treated in hospitals.
A tweet from a supposed ISIS sympathizer – which the media has claimed was sent before the Chattanooga shooting – has been cited by many as proof of an ISIS link to the shooting. Sean Hannity and anti-Muslim blogs cited the tweet as proof of the link between ISIS and the Chattanooga shooting. However, a time stamp on the tweet indicates that it was sent at 1:34 pm EST, before the shooting started at 10:40.
