(PatriotNewsDaily.com) – A violent incident took place in the Kingsessing area of Philadelphia’s southwestern region on Monday evening, where a large-scale shooting caused the deaths of five individuals and injured two children, as disclosed by Fox News.
The city’s Police Commissioner, Danielle Outlaw, confirmed the apprehension of the main suspect, which occurred without any conflict. She added that the alleged perpetrator was outfitted in a bulletproof vest and equipped with multiple ammo magazines, an “AR-style rifle,” a pistol, and a police radio. These tools were all reportedly used during the devastating attack.
The shooting resulted in numerous children being wounded, inclusive of a toddler aged two and a teenager of 13 years. All of the deceased individuals were aged between 20 and 56 years, with the discovery of the fifth victim occurring hours after the shooting spree had ended.
The report further indicates that the assailant continuously fired upon law enforcement officers during the pursuit. However, the police were successful in cornering him in an alleyway on Fraser Street, leading to his capture without necessitating any return fire.
Outlaw mentioned that the motive behind the attack is yet unknown, and all they have gathered so far is that the suspect suddenly left his residence and began shooting at people. She acknowledged the prompt response from the nearby officers, appreciating their swift action at the scene. Additionally, Outlaw noted the arrest of another individual who allegedly retaliated against the shooter. The authorities have not disclosed further information regarding this second suspect.
