Overview

  • At 12:56 a.m. Monday, gunfire broke out at a Gray’s Ferry street party on South Etting Street, killing three people and injuring 10 others in what witnesses described as a rapid fusillade.
  • Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said officers have detained one armed individual, though the person’s role in the shooting remains under investigation.
  • Investigators recovered 66 spent cartridge casings after witnesses reported hearing more than 100 rounds fired during the attack.
  • Earlier in the holiday weekend, a separate shoot-out at the 7 Elements lounge in South Philadelphia wounded eight people, and a courtyard fight in North Philadelphia left three injured.
  • City regulators revoked the lounge’s operating license and no arrests have been made in the Saturday and Sunday shootings as probes continue.
