Iran Press/ America: Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said at a news conference late Monday the suspect, who is in custody, was armed with a semiautomatic rifle and that the two wounded victims were boys, ages 2 and 13.
The shooting happened about 8:30pm in the Kingsessing neighborhood of Philadelphia. Police initially said eight people were shot, Axios reported.
Outlaw said police pursued the suspect on foot while he was shooting and when he surrendered in an alley he was "wearing a bulletproof vest with multiple magazines in the vest." He had a handgun in addition to the "AR-style rifle" and a police scanner, per Outlaw.
