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.
