The shooting near Fairmont Park happened around 10:27 p.m. police say, and there were multiple groups of people at the park when the gunshots were fired.

One adult male and one adult female were pronounced dead at the scene. 

Bethel says that among those injured are a 15, 16, and 17-year-old and the rest of the victims are adults.

Bethel says he expected to pick up a lot of information as the day unfolds, and that updates will be provided at that time.

“We’ll probably have some updates tomorrow morning once we get the scene resolved, and we’ll give you an update then whether we do it in person or send out something in writing,” he reassured the public at a press conference. “It’s memorial’s day, a day where we honor those who give their lives in war, and so we understand the significance of this event, and so we’ll make sure we provide an update.”

Philadelphia police are still at the scene investigating.
