Gunfire erupted Saturday night in Philadelphia’s downtown area and near a Chattanooga nightclub and north-west of Detroit on Sunday morning
In Philadelphia, police officers were patrolling the downtown area on South Street when numerous gunshots rang out, and they witnessed several suspects firing into a large crowd just before midnight, city police inspector D F Pace said during a news conference.An officer fired at one of the suspects from about 30 feet away, Pace said, but it was unclear if that person was struck.
The department said on Twitter late Saturday that people should avoid the area, which is home to night life entertainment venues, bars, restaurants and others businesses. The Chattanooga police chief, Celeste Murphy, suggested investigators suspected there were multiple shooters drawn into a dispute among each other, but detectives were still trying to figure out what sparked the gunfire.
