Nine people were injured after multiple gunmen exited a vehicle and opened fire outside a bar in Mayor Jim Kenney’s (D) Philadelphia around 10:45 p.m. on Saturday.
ABC 6 reports the gunmen “fired about 40 shots” outside the bar in the city’s Kensingston area. Nine people “between the ages of 23 and 40” were injured.
FOX 29 notes two of the injured individuals are in critical condition.
Police believe the shooters may have been looking for a specific person to target.
Philadelphia police first deputy commissioner John Stanford said, “At this point in time, it just looks like these individuals may have spotted someone they wanted to shoot at, exited the vehicle, and began firing at the group of individuals that were there. We don’t have much more than that in terms of motive.”
