3 Killed, 11 Wounded in Philadelphia Mass Shooting
Three people were killed and eleven were wounded in a shooting late Saturday night on South Street in Philadelphia. The victims have been identified as 34-year-old Gregory Jackson, 27-year-old Alexis Quinn and a 22-year-old Kristopher Minners
The gunfire began just before midnight on Saturday. Officers patrolling the South Street area heard gunfire and observed “several active shooters shooting into the crowd” according to Philadelphia Police Inspector D.F. Pace.
Officers fired their weapons into the crowd and are unsure whether any of the gunmen were struck, but they did drop their weapons and flee the scene. Two handguns were found, including one with an extended magazine.
Police did not reveal the identity of the 22-year-old man, but the American Federation of Teachers identified him as Kristopher Minners, an advisor for 6th and 2nd grade students.
The eleven surviving victims suffered gunshot wounds, and one was in critical condition. Their ages range from 17-69.
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney ordered a curfew in the area surrounding South Street from Sunday evening at 8 p.m. until Monday morning at 6 a.m., per the city’s Twitter account.
