JUST IN: A second-grade resident advisor at Girard College was among the three people killed in the South Street mass shooting.
“Yesterday was a dark day for Philadelphia,” Outlaw said. “While many of us were out enjoying the beautiful day in the city, a horrendous and unthinkable act happened in a very popular local tourist hang out.”
Police believe they struck the gunman due to the suspect dropping their weapon, but he was able to escape the area. Police say he was last seen heading southbound on the 600 block of American Street. He was lost in the area.Police were able to recover two guns at the scene, one with an extended magazine, but not before 14 people were struck by the gunfire.
“He was within 10 to 15 yards of the shooter watching this person shoot into the crowd when the officer engaged that shooter and as a result of that brave officer, that individual, again we’re uncertain if he was struck or not, but the officer was able to get that individual to drop his gun and flee,” Insp. D F Pace said.
