Philadelphia shooting: 9 wounded, 4 seriously injured: police

The mayor of Philadelphia has condemned Sunday’s shooting, which police said had injured nine people hours earlier.

Shortly before 11pm on Saturday, gunmen fired at least 40 shots into a crowd in the city’s Kensington neighborhood, leaving four men in critical condition, police said.

Five other victims—four men and one woman—are in stable condition after the incident, which Mayor Jim Kenny has denounced as “heinous.”

Kenny tweeted on Sunday, “I am appalled and devastated by this cowardly and brazen act of gun violence. My heart goes out to the families and loved ones of the injured, and to all those affected by this tragedy.” I am with the people.”

Police have not released a motive for the shooting and have not announced any arrests. Officials say the shooters arrived by car.

Deputy Commissioner of Police John Stanford said, “It appears at this point that these guys spotted someone wanting to shoot, got out of the car and started shooting at the group of people who were there.” is nothing more than that.”

The victims, who are in critical condition, are between the ages of 23 and 27, and the five other victims are between the ages of 23 and 40. No victims have been publicly named.

“Our men and women are supposed to be here in the sense that they patrol, but there are brazen individuals in this city who don’t care,” Mr Stanford said. I don’t care if there are people, and some people don’t care how many people there are.”

Pennsylvania State Representative Amen Brown was critical of Mayor Kenny, saying he should be blamed for the city’s violence, along with the city council and the district attorney’s office.

Democrats said on NBC Philadelphia, “Innocent women and children are dying every day and it must stop.
