PHILADELPHIA — Nine people were wounded, five critically, Saturday night when shooters emerged from a car and fired into a crowd on a busy street in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood, police said.
At least 40 shots were fired during the incident, which happened at 10:42 p.m. near Kensington and Allegheny avenues, said First Deputy Police Commissioner John Stanford.
He said that "three or four people" had jumped out of the car, and then shots were fired into a group of people standing on the south side of Allegheny, near the entrance to the Market-Frankford Line. He did not specify how many people were involved in the actual shooting before the group got back into the car and drove away.
