Four killed in another US mass shooting
Four people were killed and 4 others were injured Monday night in a mass shooting in the United States city of Philadelphia, according to media reports.
A spokesman for the Philadelphia Police Department confirmed to media by email there were 'multiple gunshot victims' but said no further details were immediately available.
Around 8:40 pm, roughly 10 minutes after shots rang out, police officers reported they had apprehended a male suspect wearing a ballistic vest and had recovered a rifle and handgun in a nearby alleyway, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Philadelphia Police said another two - children aged two and 13 - were injured in the attack in the city's south-western Kingsessing area. All the victims are male.
The shooting came a day after two people were shot dead and 28 others injured, about half of them children, in a hail of gunfire at an outdoor neighborhood block party in Baltimore, Maryland. Police said they were still seeking multiple suspects in that shooting.
