4 Killed in Philadelphia Shooting, Police Say
A second person who police believed had “picked up the gun and returned fire in the direction of the shooter,” was also in custody, Danielle M. Outlaw, the police commissioner, said at a news conference late Monday night.
“At this point, we don’t see a connection to any of the victims and in the shooter, so we’re still trying to piece it together and figure it out,” Commissioner Outlaw said.
Police officers, who were on foot, arrested the suspect in an alley, she said. The suspect was wearing a bulletproof vest containing “multiple magazines” and had an AR-style rifle, a handgun and a police scanner.
The commissioner said she did not know whether the suspect was firing from the handgun or the refile before he was apprehended but he was still “actively shooting.”
“Thank God our officers responded as quickly as they did. I can’t even describe the level of bravery and courage that was shown,” she said.
