PHILADELPHIA — The victims of the mass shooting in Kingsessing died going about their daily life: walking to get food, checking on a friend, responding to neighbors in need.
They were aspiring college athletes and twin brothers; loving sons and fathers. They had plans — one to walk his daughter down the aisle, another to propose to the love of his life.
But all of that was cut short when a man with a gun walked through the Southwest Philadelphia community and shot people at random. The shooting spree left five dead and two children, ages 2 and 13, injured in one of the deadliest shootings in Philadelphia's history.
