The scourge of American gun violence continued unabated on Monday night when a gunman–wearing a bullet-proof vest complete with police scanner– shot six people, four fatally, in a tragic shooting in southwest Philadelphia’s Kingsessing section.
Officials said early investigations appeared to indicate that the shooting seemed completely random, and that the gunman shot his victims on a whim. The victims were all on the street, or in their car.
“At this point we don’t see a connection between any of the victims and the shooter,” Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said in a press conference.
