BREAKING NEWS Fourth of July bloodbath as mass shooting at bar sees 11 sprayed with bullets
At least 11 people have been injured following a horrific mass shooting in Philadelphia. Gun shots rang out shortly before 4am Saturday at 7 Elements on 11th Street and Washington Avenue, after Fourth of July celebrations descended into a bloodbath. Four women and seven men were injured, NBC Philadelphia reported. At least two are in critical condition, including a security guard who was shot in the face and a woman who was shot in the back. 'Others are reported to have been shot in the legs, extremities, arms, etc., and suffering other non-life-threatening gunshot injuries,' Philadelphia Police Inspector DF Pace said. Bullet casings were found on the upper floor of the establishment and on the staircase that leads to the lower level and parking lot. 7 Elements is located on the second floor of the building and it was unclear if the bar was open at the time. The bar was closed by the time police arrived. Police had to 'defeat' the doors when they arrived to make sure there were not other victims inside the establishment. 'This business should not be open that late, and upon arrival, it was shut, and we had to ensure there were no other victims inside,' Pace said at a press conference. Police are unsure how many gunmen there were and the identities of the victims have not been released. Three were found on the scene and police later learned eight more transported themselves to the hospital. 'They look like they're going to survive,' Pace said of the victims. 'It's a lot of people.' The motive for the shooting is unknown. No arrests have been made. Saturday's shooting was the largest shooting in Philadelphia since two were killed and nine were injured on Memorial Day in Fairmont Park. Multiple rounds of 'rapid' gunfire erupted on Lemon Hill Drive in Philadelphia's Fairmount Park, where thousands had gathered to celebrate the long holiday weekend in May. When the shots were fired, a total of 11 people - ranging in age from 15 to 28 - were struck, including Amya Devlin, 23, and Mikhail Bowers, 21, who were tragically killed in the incident. Three teenagers - aged 15, 16 and 17 - were among those injured in the shooting. Police believe at least five guns were fired during the Memorial Day shooting.
