Three people were killed, and nine others were wounded when gunfire broke out over the Fourth of July weekend in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

The Philadelphia Police Department said officers responded to reports of a shooting just before 1 a.m. Monday in the Grays Ferry section of the city.

When officers arrived, they discovered multiple victims were suffering from gunshot wounds, adding that three individuals had ultimately died.

Police said 23-year-old Zahir Wylie suffered a gunshot wound to the chest; 19-year-old Jason Reese sustained a gunshot wound to the head; and 24-year-old Aziz Harriz suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the back.

One man next to the Ring doorbell camera can be seen firing his semi-automatic handgun uncontrollably over the group of people directly at his feet.

As a result of the gunfire outbreak, nearby homes were hit by bullets during the shooting, though police said nobody inside the homes was struck.

FOX 29 in Philadelphia reported that during the Fourth of July weekend, six people were killed and over a dozen others injured in shootings across the city.

“Folks are going to wake up and hear about a lot of the incidents that happened over the weekend, but we are not going back,” Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said.

The station reported that eight people were injured in a shooting outside a South Philadelphia bar overnight Friday as people were wrapping up their Independence Day celebrations.
