MASS SHOOTING: Four people are dead and four others are injured following an Independence Day weekend mass shooting in Philadelphia's Kingsessing neighborhood, FOX 29's Steve Keeley reports.
Outlaw said officers chased the gunman as he continued to fire and eventually cornered him in a back alley on the 1600 block of Frazer Street where they took him into custody.
A seventh victim was found several hours later as officers were approached by a man while processing earlier crime scenes. He was pronounced dead at the scene after suffering gunshots to the face and torso, according to police who say several rifles rounds were found inside and outside the home. Another person who police believe may have fired back at the gunman during the shooting rampage has also been placed in custody, according to Outlaw.
