“People were coming off the street with blood splatters on white sneakers and skinned knees and skinned elbows,” Walsh said. He said, however, fighting it would be “an uphill battle" without measures to address the “availability and ease of access to firearms." “Once again, we see lives senselessly lost and those injured in yet another horrendous, brazen and despicable act of gun violence," he said in a statement Sunday morning.

Hundreds of people were gathered in a busy nightlife district when police 'observed several active shooters shooting into the crowd'.

A $20,000 reward was being offered for information that leads to an arrest, Outlaw said.

In Chester, a 20-year-old man was killed and at least five other people were shot, WTVR-TV reported. The shooting in Philadelphia broke out in a crowded downtown street Saturday night. A shooting at a Chattanooga, Tennessee, nightclub Sunday morning, left two people fatally shot and a third dead after being hit by a vehicle during a scramble following the shooting, Chattanooga Police Chief Celeste Murphy said.

Officials said the investigation into the shooting was in its early stages. No one had been taken into custody.

The others, authorities said, ranged in age from 17 to 43. No one had been taken into custody, and investigators were still seeking to piece together video, ballistics, and other evidence. And I asked the band members if they want to keep going and they said sure. Gunfire came in bursts and bullets ricocheted, sparking off the asphalt. Five guns were used by the assailants, leading police to believe there may have been five shooters. Key senators said Sunday there is growing momentum to forge a bipartisan congressional response to recent mass shootings that could toughen federal gun laws for the first time in a generation.

Investigators recovered two handguns from the scene, authorities said. No one has been arrested in connection with the incident, police said. Expand

Investigators believe the officer’s shot struck the gunman, who dropped his weapon and fled, Outlaw said. Authorities believe five guns were fired beginning shortly after 11:30 p.m. Saturday as crowds gathered on South Street, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported. One responding officer “fired several times in the direction of” an “unknown male” who was firing a gun, Outlaw said in a news conference Sunday afternoon.

Kristopher Minners, a 22-year-old, has been identified as one of the victims killed during the mass shooting on South Street Saturday night.

One officer shot at a suspect multiple times after witnessing him continuing to fire into the crowd. Of those 11, a 23-year-old man was the only one who suffered multiple gunshot wounds. The 11 people who suffered non-fatal gunshot wounds ranged in age from 17-69. Two men involved in the fight exchanged gunfire, according to Outlaw, and both were struck. Gregory Jackson, 34, succumbed to his injuries at Presbyterian Hospital a short time after the shooting. They say Minners was a second-grade resident advisor at Girard College in Philadelphia.

An 18-year-old man is in custody and expected to be charged soon for the mass shooting Saturday night on South Street. He is the first arrested. Police are.

A gun violence tracker from the city controller’s office tallied 743 nonfatal and 188 fatal shooting victims as of June 2. "We cannot accept continued violence as a way of life in our country. While the Uvalde shooting renewed bipartisan talks about modest gun reforms, such talks have broken down in the past. Shootings have accounted for the most killings in Philadelphia this year. Another one of the shooters who has yet to be arrested was last seen running south on American Street between 2nd and 3rd streets. The rest of the victims appeared to be "innocent bystanders," the commissioner said. In Uvalde, Texas, another gunman killed 19 children and two teachers at Robb Elementary School. In Oklahoma, a man killed four people and wounded several others inside a Tulsa medical building. The pair begin grabbing at the third person and a tussle quickly follows. Outlaw said extra officers had been deployed to the area in anticipation of larger-than-average crowds in part due to the warm weather and "several events going on in the city at one time." "I want to emphasize that South Street is manned by numerous police officers," Pace said. It is not known if the suspect was struck, but the gunman did drop their gun and flee. Two others killed in the terrifying violence were Gregory Jackson, 34, and Alexis Quinn, 27.

An arrest warrant has been issued for another person allegedly involved in the shooting, but authorities declined to identify that individual.

Garner told those officers he had been shot in the South Street shooting, and the police took him to the hospital, Pescatore said. At that point, Garner allegedly started firing his own weapon in the direction of where Jackson and Townes had been shooting. Jackson, who had a permit to carry, eventually took out a gun and fired at Townes, who at that point was in the middle of South Street, Pescatore said.
