He said that the deceased were two men and a woman whose identities had not been released by police. The condition of the accident victims is still unclear.
Two handguns were discovered, according to police, but no arrests were made.
Saturday night in Philadelphia. A mass shooting on 4th & South Street with reports of nearly a dozen people shot. I’m on scene where police have cordoned off the popular weekend strip, a trail of what appears to be blood snaking along the sidewalk in front of a Rita’s Water Ice. pic.twitter.com/mkUoTvgy2I
