Philadelphia Police canvased the area around Lincoln High School for video tape and witness statements after three males were shot and killed last night. One other male is still in critical condition. One of the victims lived across the street from the shooting scene, police said.. Police also said that at least one of the victims had a family member killed by gunfire a few months ago near Kensington.
From security camera footage, it appeared that there were multiple shooters who parked up the street and were waiting for the victims. You can see this video below.
Police showed up along with members of the Philadelphia Anti Drug and Anti Violence Network. They handed out notices asking for help. The one person that did survive this shooting is in critical condition. According to Wali Smith, of PAAN, “We are here for the community, we go into the neighborhoods and offer our assistance,” he said. His group will canvas the area with police to give the public information on how to reduce violence.
Some neighbors came to the scene with misinformation or with questions. Some claimed the victims were female, They were not. Police released that the male who was transported to Nazareth was dropped off, a relative kissed them goodbye and left before police could arrive. Names have not been released.
