While speaking about the matter, Police Inspector D. F. Pace remarked, “You can imagine there were hundreds of individuals just enjoying South Street, as they do every single weekend when this shooting broke out.”

“Patrolling officers heard numerous gunshots go off and rushed to the area, where they saw several active shooters firing into the crowd”, the police officer said.

A 23-year-old man named Joe Smith, who was standing just 10 feet from the crime scene, informed, “Once it started I didn’t think it was going to stop. There was guttural screaming. I just heard screams.” The eyewitness reportedly recalled the recent mass shootings that took place in Uvalde and Buffalo.

Reportedly, a police officer shot at a suspect three times although it remains unknown whether the suspect was hit. According to the spokesperson of Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, 7 injured people were admitted to the hospital.

Texas school shooting

On May 24 this year, an 18-year-old gunman killed 19 students at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde city of Texas in the United States. The killings came on the day when students were preparing to start their summer break.

The shooter reportedly abandoned his vehicle and entered the school with a handgun and assault rifle. The teenager had shot his own grandmother before going on a killing spree at the school.

The gunman was neutralised by the police officers, the officials said, adding 3 more adults were also killed in the attack. The CCTV footage showed that small groups of children were being rescued through parked cars and yellow buses, even some holding hands as police escorted them from the school.

More than 500 students, mostly Hispanic and economically disadvantaged, study at Robb Elementary school from second through fourth grade. The attack on the Texas school is one of the deadliest attacks since the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida, where 17 people were killed.
