Three people have been killed and 10 others were injured after gunmen began firing “randomly” in a South Philadelphia neighborhood, authorities have said.
The incident took place shortly before 1 a.m. along a residential street in Grays Ferry, according to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel.
“We have numerous rounds that were shot on the block,” Bethel told reporters.
The three people who died were adults, and two of the wounded were juveniles, and one person with a weapon was taken into custody, according to police.
It is not yet known what prompted the shooting.
"You know, this is coward stuff. This is, you know, you see the size of this block. I mean, just individuals just shooting randomly into houses, into cars, children out here. This is coward, want-to-be-thugs stuff,” Bethel added.
