Raw video: Scene of mass shooting in Center City Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A barrage of bullets from multiple shooters left three people dead and nearly a dozen more wounded on South Street in Philadelphia.

It all happened shortly before midnight Saturday when police on patrol heard numerous gunshots from the 200 block of South Street.

Those officers saw several active shooters firing into a crowd, Inspector D F Pace said during an early Sunday morning news conference.

One of those officers fired at one of the shooters. It's unclear if that suspect was hit, Pace said.

However, that suspect dropped his weapon and fled.


At least two guns were recovered from the scene, and Pace said one of them had an extended magazine.

'Numerous' shell casing were found along the 200 and 300 blocks.

In all, 14 people were hit by gunfire. Of those victims, three people are dead and 11 more are wounded.

The victims who were killed include two men and a woman. All three suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the body.

Their names have not been released.


No arrests have been made.


Police are looking for surveillance video to help them identify the shooters.
