Distressing Ring camera footage shows young people scrambling on top of one another outside a home as gunmen open fire. Several gunmen can be seen shooting at random as the group takes cover. The Sun has not published any footage showing people being injured or killed. 12 people were reportedly shot in the gun battle. The three people who lost their lives were identified as a 24-year-old man, a 23-year-old man and a 19-year-old man. The 24-year-old man has been identified as Azir Harris, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer. The dad-of-one had been left paralyzed by a shooting in 2018 and had since advocated against gun violence. On Monday, he was shot multiple times in his back while sitting in his wheelchair at the gathering. Harris's father, Troy, also told the outlet that the mother of Harris' one-year-old son was also injured in the tragedy. Three dead & 10 hurt in July 4 weekend mass shooting as cops slam 'wannabe thugs who fired into homes & cars at random' Speaking at the scene, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said "this is coward stuff", according to NBC affiliate WCAU. "This is, you know, you see the size of this block. I mean, just individuals just shooting randomly into houses, into cars, children out here. "I mean, this is coward, wanna-be thug stuff." One person has been arrested in connection with the shooting, Bethel said. Police are still searching for the other gunmen, and it remains unclear how many shooters were involved. 6 Azir Harris, 24, was killed in the shooting Credit: Facebook/Azir Harris 6 Police officers collect evidence at the scene in Philadelphia on Monday Credit: AP JULY 4 VIOLENCE The shooting is just one of 15 that occurred in Philadelphia between July 4 and July 7. Police reported a total of six deaths and at least 35 injuries across those incidents. Other cities, including Albany, New York; Charlottesville, Virginia; and Chicago, Illinois, also experienced deadly shootings over the holiday weekend. Gun violence often spikes around July 4 each year, a trend experts link to higher temperatures and increased alcohol consumption, according to a CNN report last year.

Belly dancer influencer arrested for ‘using seduction techniques' and ‘exposing sensitive areas' in viral online vids
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A BELLY dancer influencer has been arrested for "using seduction techniques" and "exposing sensitive areas" in her viral online videos. Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for "immortality" in strict Egypt two weeks ago - and is to remain in prison for another fortnight. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 A belly dancer influencer has been arrested for 'using seduction techniques' Credit: Instagram 5 Online sensation Linda Martino, originally from Italy, was arrested for 'immortality' in strict Egypt Credit: Instagram 5 Linda has over two million followers on Instagram Credit: Instagram Linda - who has over two million followers on Instagram - moved to the North African country a few years ago and has built a successful career in belly dancing. Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views across various social media platforms. But an investigation was reportedly triggered by one of her most shared videos, where Linda performs in a cabaret in a traditional belly dancing costume. The Cairo prosecutor's office accuses the young woman of having "used seduction techniques and provocative dances to incite vice". According to authorities' report, in some videos Linda "deliberately wore provocative clothing and performed dance movements with sexual allusions" They say she therefore disrespected "public decency" and the "values of family and society". Investigators also argued the artist "appeared in indecent clothing, deliberately exposing sensitive areas of her body, in clear violation of social values". She denies all the charges against her and claims she practices her profession in compliance with the law. The dancer said after being arrested: "I have the permits to practice my activity and all the videos circulating on social media are normal. "It is a permitted dance performance and does not contain anything that violates or goes against public morals." Irish TD Paul Murphy detained in Egypt and passport confiscated after bus stopped amid March to Gaza She added that the content she records is "only for entertainment purposes". Whilst belly dancing isn't prohibited in Egypt, videos on social media have to comply with the country's values. Egypt has increased its cruel crackdowns on artists and influences accused of offending public morals. Under Abdel Fattah Al Sisi's government, at least five belly dancers have been horrifically jailed on charges similar to those given to Linda. The Pharaoh nation sucks in a staggering 18 million tourists each year, and the industry props up around 10 per cent of the whole economy. But beyond the plush resorts of the popular Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada - Egypt is covering up its dark underbelly. The country's brutal police force deals in bribes and locks people up on bogus charges, including Brit holidaymakers. Egypt's picture-postcard image is being tested, with a former British ambassador to the country recently branding it a "police state". 5 Videos of her performing in popular clubs to various Egyptian hit songs have garnered millions of views Credit: Instagram

Criminals in Britain's jails are hooked on drugs and daytime TV, warns watchdog
An increase in violence against staff and fellow inmates has been fuelled by drugs and overcrowded conditions JAIL JOKE Criminals in Britain's jails are hooked on drugs and daytime TV, warns watchdog Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) CRIMINALS in Britain's jails are spending their sentences getting high and watching daytime TV, the prisons' watchdog has warned. A menu of substances including cannabis, cocaine, and steroids is on offer, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons Charlie Taylor says. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up Drones used by criminal gangs are so accurate that they can deliver drugs and weapons, such as zombie knives, directly to specific windows. App What3words is being used by gangs to pinpoint drop-off locations to the nearest three-yard square. And other packages are being dropped and disguised as grass cuttings in overgrown areas. In his damning report, Mr Taylor said: 'It costs £57,000 a year to keep someone locked up and many are in their cells for up to 22 hours a day, high on drugs, watching daytime TV. READ MORE ON PRISONS JAIL VID RANTS Migrant who threatened to kill Farage is illegally broadcasting from prison 'This is hardly a rehabilitative atmosphere and hardly value for money for taxpayers.' Seven people were murdered in prisons over the past year, with an increase in violence against staff and fellow inmates fuelled by drugs and overcrowded conditions. Mr Taylor added: 'Packages of up to 10kg being brought in means in some prisons there is a menu of drugs. In our surveys of prisons we found 39 per cent of prisoners said it was easy to get drugs in their jail.' His report, published today, found drones were making regular deliveries to Manchester and Long Lartin which hold some of the most dangerous men in the country. Lord Timpson, Minister for Prisons, Probation and Reducing Reoffending, said: 'We're building 14,000 extra prison places and reforming sentencing so we never run out of space again.'
