A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest and toting an AR-style rifle, handgun and police scanner unleashed a mass shooting across four Philadelphia blocks on Monday night, killing five people and wounding two children – the youngest just 2 years old.
Five people were killed and two others wounded in a shooting in Philadelphia Monday night, police said. A suspect is in custody.
The two who were wounded were 2- and 13 years old, authorities said. Both were in stable condition. The suspect, described as a 40-year-old male, was wearing a bulletproof vest and carrying an AR-style rifle, a handgun and a police scanner, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw told reporters. The suspect was taken into custody"without further incident" after officers who were chasing him while he was shooting caught up with him and cornered him in an alley, Outlaw said.
Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small later said that an officer processing the first crime scene was approached just before 12:30 a.m. Tuesday by a man who said he'd just returned home to check on his son in a private residence in the vicinity of where some of the earlier shootings had occurred. The father said he found his son on the living room floor and he was unresponsive.
