5 people dead, 2 children injured in Philadelphia mass shooting, police say.
A gunman clad in a bulletproof vest and carrying multiple rounds of ammunition opened fire in Philadelphia late Monday, killing at least five people and wounding two children, authorities said.
Two people have since been taken into custody: a 40-year-old unnamed man who is alleged to be the suspected shooter, and another unidentified person who investigators believe picked up a firearm and started shooting at the suspect, according to Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.
"Officers responded quickly and showed bravery and courage," Outlaw told reporters during a late-night press conference. "Their actions prevented potentially more victims."
The Philadelphia Police Department initially received reports of gunfire near Chester Street in the city's Kingsessing neighborhood at around 8:56 p.m. ET. Gunshots were heard in several areas near the first location during the shooting, police said.
Officers responded to the area behind Chester Street and found multiple gunshot victims, who have not yet been identified, according to police.
Yawn! Same old shit. Philadelphia.
They will make a stink about him wearing a vest. Liberal states are trying to ban body armor. Look how dangerous this is! Someone tried to shoot him and couldn’t because of the vest! We need to ban them!
The chances are the 2nd shooter missed him but they will claim the vest gave him super powers.
