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.
It's the same people. Every single night. Same people doing the shooting.

Damm on the 200 block of South steet and in center city last week. No one can come to Philly and be safe anymore. Fucking pathetic job DA_LarryKrasner and PhillyMayor. Too worried about if the shooters had masks on than how they got their ILLEGAL GUNS.
Lol. Decent people haven't gone to South street since the race riots..
So much for those orange shirts the other day 🙄
Any description of any of these multiple shooters? Who should we be on the lookout for?
