In response to the mass shooting, Mayor Jim Kenney said, 'I'm appalled and devastated by this despicable, brazen act of gun violence. My heart is with the family and loved ones of those injured, and with everyone impacted by this tragedy.'
Given the nature of this mass shooting, officers say everyone in that area should be worried.
"The fact that we have nine people shot, I think that's a public safety threat in itself and people have to be concerned about individuals shooting in this city," said Stanford. Kensington and Allegheny is a busy intersection where people are frequently outdoors. Police say it may have been busier than normal too as Saturday night was warm and the Phillies were on the TV, drawing crowds out to the bars.
"You should be able to walk through the city streets and not have to worry about gunfire," said Stanford.Before the shooting, police say they were conducting a narcotics investigation up the block. "This is an area that's always busy as many of you know. We have a heavy police presence down here. In fact earlier this evening, our narcotics strike force conducted a narcotics investigation just up the block," said Stanford.In response to the mass shooting, Mayor Jim Kenney tweeted, "I'm appalled and devastated by this despicable, brazen act of gun violence. My heart is with the family and loved ones of those injured, and with everyone impacted by this tragedy.
