A man and woman were killed and at least nine other people were injured in a shooting at Lemon Hill in Fairmount Park Monday night, police said.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said that among those injured are a 15, 16, and 17-year-old. The rest of the victims are adults. All of the wounded were reported to be in stable condition.
The victims were taken to several hospitals including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, Temple University Hospital, and Lankenau Medical Center.
One other person was taken to the hospital after being hit by a car in the chaos, police said.
Police said the shooting happened just before 10:30 p.m. while different groups of people were gathered in the park, some beginning to pack up to leave. It’s unclear how the incident started and how many shooters were involved.
No weapons have been recovered and no one has been arrested, police said, adding that they’ll be investigating the widespread crime scene throughout the night and well into Tuesday.
