7 injured as gunman fires over 50 shots into crowd in North Philly

NORTH PHILADELPHIA – Terrifying moments for a group gathered in North Philadelphia as a gunman took aim and fired into a crowd, hitting seven people.

The ********* started at the corner of North 11th and West Cumberland streets, near a park, early Saturday morning, around 3:30, officials said. Two males had a dispute earlier in the night during a party at the location and people then began to leave. Within a short time, according to authorities, the shooter came back to the gathering with a *******.

This is when the gunman fired over 50 shots into the crowd still gathered. When he was finished, seven people were injured, including a 16-year-old girl shot in the chest.
