Seven of them at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, the others at several other hospitals in the area. “Three of these people, two men and one woman, were declared dead after arriving in hospitals, with multiple gunshot wounds.”
“There were hundreds of people just enjoying South Street, as they do every single weekend when the shooting broke out,” the inspector continued. According to the Washington Post, the inspector spoke of “several shooters”. A policeman allegedly shot one of the assailants, putting him on the run.
