A shooting on Philadelphia's South Street late Saturday night left at least three people dead and 11 others injured after police say multiple gunmen opened fire on a crowd. A responding officer shot at one of the suspects, but no arrests have been made.

Inspector Pace said during a news conference that an officer shot at a suspect. It is unclear if the suspect was hit, but Pace says the suspect appeared to stop firing and dropped his firearm after he came under fire. The discharging officer was withing 10-15 yards of the suspect, watching him shooting into the crowd, Pace said.

"You can imagine there were hundreds of individuals just enjoying South Street, as they do every single weekend, when this shooting broke out," Pace said. Authorities say no arrests have been made but that two weapons -both handguns - were recovered. Shell casings were found strewn throughout the 200 and 300 block of South Street. "South Street is known for being a corridor for entertainment. There are numerous eating establishments, drinking establishments and businesses throughout the entire area of the 200-300 hundred block of South Street," Inspector Pace said, noting that there are numerous surveillance cameras in the area.

Pace added that South Street is patrolled by numerous police officers as part of standard deployment on Friday and Saturday nights, especially during the summer.Prior to the shooting on South Street, police say there was another incident just blocks away at 4th and Bainbridge streets. 13 shots were fired in that incident. Pace says investigators are looking into any possible connection between the incidents given the proximity.

3 dead, 11 injured after shooting at popular night spot in PhiladelphiaA barrage of bullets from multiple shooters left three people dead and nearly a dozen more wounded on South Street in Philadelphia. This is the new norm I just figured this happened in Chicago. Address the economy. Address corporate greed (CEOs making 1000 times more than the worker bees). Address the poor quality of education & the suck u dry costs of higher learning. Address runaway rent & check to check living. Address medical costs. Address nothing made in the 🇺🇸.
