Two of the three teenagers injured are currently in critical condition.
This Monday, police in Philadelphia revealed surveillance footage showing four suspects opening fire with more than 60 rounds, injuring three teenagers. This was done to aid in identifying those responsible.
Monday about 4 p.m., in the 1500 block of North Frazier Street, the incident occurred, according to a news release.
The incident occurred throughout the day, and police told FOX 29 that three teens (two 16-year-olds and a 13-year-old) were harmed.
Out of the three injured, two remain in critical condition at area hospitals.
The four masked individuals seen in a video uploaded on Thursday are said to have been armed with rifles and semi-automatic pistols, according to the police.
After firing almost 60 bullets, the group fled along Lansdowne Avenue toward 56th Street.
Some information about the possible perpetrators follows.
First Suspect: A man with a light-colored face mask, a black jacket, blue pants, and white shoes.
Second suspect: is a man in all black: a black face mask, a black hooded puffy coat, black pants, and black shoes.
A third possible perpetrator is a man in his 20s or 30s who is wearing a white lace mask, black sweatpants, black sneakers, and blue latex gloves.
Fourth suspect: a man in all black: a face mask, a sweatshirt, pants, and shoes.
A local guy expressed his concern for the city’s future to FOX 29, saying that he feels unsafe in his neighborhood.
“It’s all so bad. There are always tragic events. “We have to do something about this right away, or there will be no kids left,” he said. A nice location to call home, “Philadelphia will never be.”
When she heard the shooting, another woman ran inside, saying she was afraid for the children in the area.
One weapon was discovered there.
Some minutes after the initial shooting, authorities say other shots were fired just down the street from where the three teens were struck.
A second round of gunfire, unrelated to the first, prompted police to respond to the 5500 block of Lansdowne Avenue shortly before 5 p.m. When police arrived, they discovered a 45-year-old man who had been shot twice in the leg. After being taken to the hospital, his condition stabilized.
Nobody has been taken into custody in that case either.
You shouldn’t approach the suspects, police say, if you see them. Instead, dial 911 immediately.
