Three young people died and another was injured as at least 50 shots were fired at them in Northeast Philadelphia Monday night after an apparent shopping trip. Investigators said it appeared to be a"targeted" attack.
The quadruple shooting occurred at Rowland Avenue and Guilford Street in the Mayfair neighborhood just before 10 p.m. When officers arrived, they found two of the shooting victims dead on the scene, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. He noted everyone appeared to be in their late teens or early 20s.
"It appears that our shooter or shooters were clearly targeting these two individuals since the ballistic evidence was so close to where the victims were found," Small said.A third person -- a man in his 20s who lived in the area -- was rushed by car to the hospital and died a short time later, Small said."All four of these victims were together and they do know each other," Small said, while noting the info was preliminary.
