The shooting occurred on a weather-perfect weekend evening that had drawn hundreds to the area, igniting panic and sending people screaming and scrambling for cover.
At least 14 people were shot in the area of Second and South Streets and three of them died late Saturday, police said.
After a short brawl, a volley of gunshots rang out. Vanore said two of the three men in the fight fired at each other. One of them — the man who first drew a handgun — was killed, Vanore said. The other was hospitalized in critical condition. One shooter was a man on the 200 block of South Street, near an intersection with American Street. Police said he fired westbound on South Street. A responding officer, who has not been identified, returned fire, and Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said the officer likely struck him. The man dropped his gun and an extended magazine and ran away.The investigation continues, with authorities still working to piece together video, ballistics and other evidence.
Friends and family of South Street shooting victims gather outside of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital Emergency Department early Sunday morning. Police have yet to identify the shooters, but confirm there was more than one person shooting into the crowd. Their motive is not known, and no one has been taken into custody.
