PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Eight people, ranging in age from 17 to 71 years old, were shot in broad daylight near SEPTA’s Olney Transportation Station on Wednesday afternoon. The shooting left a 71-year-old man fighting for his life.
Philadelphia Police say the shooting happened shortly before 3 p.m. at Broad Street and Olney Avenue. It’s a very active investigation and a terrifying scene for eyewitnesses.
Police initially said there were seven victims, but an eighth, a 48-year-old man, walked into Albert Einstein Medical Center with a graze wound to his stomach.
Six of the victims were taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center while the other was transported to Temple University Hospital by police. Police say the victims range from 17 to 71 years old.
Police say the 71-year-old man is in critical condition after he was shot once in the stomach and several times in both legs. The six other victims are all in stable condition.
“It’s very brazen. We had officers, whether it’s from SEPTA, were out here. We were able to get someone in custody as quickly as we did because we had officers in the area working on another assignment,” Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said. “So it’s not for our lack of presence out here, but I think it’s very telling that folks that are willing to engage in these shootings are becoming more and more emboldened, regardless or not if they see us out here.”
People ran for their lives as the gunfire erupted at Broad Street and Olney Avenue.
“It was like, why is people going bananas out here like that? Why is they acting like this? It should be no reason why the community is like this,” witness Will Barton said.
A person was taken into custody following a foot chase by police but their involvement in the shooting is not known at this time. Two firearms were recovered.
At least 18 shell casings were found at the scene and police are working to find whoever is responsible for this brazen shooting. They do know a car was involved.
Police are asking any witnesses to share any information.
“This is happening far too often, this happened in broad daylight and we need everyone to come together to help us solve these cases,” Outlaw said.
Mayor Jim Kenney released a statement on the shooting.
“I refuse to accept this emergency situation as normal. We must rise together with one clear and united moral voice against the evil act of violence. People have the right to travel between work and home, and around town, without the fear of being shot, and possibly killed, by reckless, indiscriminate gunfire,” Kenney said.

If he is white they'll run the story for weeks and blame drumpf and racist white people. If he is not white they will barely cover the story and memory hole it.

17, 71, 18 shell casings on the 18th, "Temple University", "Albert Einstein".... in b4 the Freemasons claim responsibility.

In India the headline was shit instead of shot. In China too.

god forbid someone notice the way things actually work
There's nothing reasoned about constantly moaning and whining and manipulating every piece of reality to fit your narrative that the world is persecuting you for being white. The notion that white genocide obsessed Dab Forums CHUDs are all actually redpilled truth warriors and everyone else who manages to function on a daily basis without being the victim of some global conspiracy is laughably fucking cringey.

Now take what you just said, fill in the blank with any other word, look in the mirror and say that again with a straight face.
Robert Gray
>Now take what you just said, fill in the blank with any other word, look in the mirror and say that again with a straight face. The difference being that we have empirical data to establish different statistical outcomes for race. We even have socioeconomic data to support it. White genocide dipshits don't base their worldview on any kind of hard data so they instead appeal exclusively to feels based arguments - like how gay comic book heroes are an attack on straight white culture or how printing rainbows on Starbucks cups is a jewish conspiracy to encourage the destruction of the white race through sexual deviancy. One position is based in reality and the other is just a delusional fever dream.
Nicholas Turner
Is there any update on the identity of the suspect?
Jace Price
Why do you delusional far-right manics obsess on scouring the internet everyday to look for news articles that inform your bias? Do you have any identity outside of being racist or is constantly reinforcing your superiority complex the only way you know how to cope with your status as a magnificently unexceptional human being?
Jason Turner
Jews are white.
Ryder Long
I agree 100% with you, except I blame jews.
Alexander Howard
I shouldn't be surprised that you're incapable of engaging with ideas outside of these strict binaries you've convinced yourself of. I think you people are degenerate scum. My distaste for far-right maniacs has nothing to do with worshiping all black people or hating all white people. My beef is with you and your disgusting ideology, not your race. Unlike you, I'm able to engage with the concept of nuance in my value system. In reality, there are more choices in life than either being a Nazi or hating all white people.
Elijah Cox
>Your ideology is disgusting if you don't hate to your own race Why do all leftists hate the white race?
Hudson Russell
Because conservative whites hate racial minorities.
Sebastian Rivera
Why do the democrats openly call for white people to be murdered like during the summer of BLM terrorism?
Christopher Foster
>Your ideology is disgusting if you don't hate to your own race I can't have a conversation with someone who can't engage with the things I actually say and instead makes up strawmen to argue with.
Colton Miller
Because conservative whites hold racist rallies with tiki torches, bomb abortion clinics and federal buildings, and mow down people with cars.
Landon Reed
>Repeating what you stated as your actual beliefs is strawmaning Why do you leftists hate the white race? >whites hold racist rallies Why shouldn't white people stand up for their own race? > bomb abortion clinics and federal buildings But it's okay when the thousand currents, Antifa and black supremacist plant bombs? Why are you subhuman anti white leftist such hypocrites? >mow down people with cars Why do leftist terrorists stand in the middle of motorways?
Colton Moore
They're coming for you next. You better head to the bunker soon.
Sebastian Powell
>Why shouldn't white people stand up for their own race? Why shouldn't blacks stand up for theirs?
Ayden Cook
>Repeating what you stated as your actual beliefs is strawmaning Nowhere did I even remotely imply that anybody who doesn't hate their own race is a white supremacist. You just made this up because you're incapable of engaging with reality. You sound absolutely unhinged, user.
Dominic Perez
Why are the leftpol shills deflecting? Why do you want to destroy the white race?
Elijah Young
Why do you want to destroy the black race?
Jaxson Butler
Why do you want to genocide the white race?
Samuel Watson
It DID happen in the Keystone Sate ... But, Freemasons never claim responsibility. It's one of their trademarks. And, nobody has claimed responsibility. So, there's that.
Elijah Carter
Maybe people of other races (particularly those with poor outcomes) are just stupid and impulsive?
Owen Davis

Noah Brooks
Are you going to shoot up a subway station over it?
Julian Robinson
Behavior and outcomes are pretty predictable given certain environments. People who grow up poor are more likely to stay poor. People who grow up rich are more likely to stay rich. People who witness violence as children are more likely to commit it. This is pretty conclusive in every socioeconomic study we've ever done on crime, education, economic outcomes etc.,. Saying "other races are stupid" is not only a scientifically baseless statement its also just a very obvious way of admitting to the world that you're too ignorant or bias to meaningfully engage with the issue. The fact that you could think the world is this simple says to me you don't have the intellectual constitution to participate in this conversation.
The reality I've come to understand about white supremacists is that you are all pathologically simple, insecure creatures. Simple people tend to become ultra loyal to simple conclusions because the nuance of reality intimidates them. I'm sure, on some level, your ability to maintain your sense of self requires you to believe that your elevation over other groups or races is just some inherent gift that was given to you by your DNA. You have to believe that you deserve everything you have or else your whole worldview would collapse. Your ego can't deal with the insecurity that comes with acknowledging the reality that, statistically, the only difference between you and some homeless crack head is circumstance, opportunity and a little luck. Accepting this reality would mean accepting that you're not mommy's super special, super smart little moral boy that achieved all that he has all through pure superiority. Its an existential crisis your simple mind isn't equipped to handle so you default to meritocracy because its comfortable and validating. You don't even have to work at it. All you have to do is be born white.

Rich blacks cause more crime than rich whites and poor blacks cause more crime than poor whites. Almost as if the determining factor were race and not income. Cope tranny. YWNBAW

Kayden White
Damn, I aint afraid of n o bullets. I could beat the shit out of someone with or without a gun. It doesn't matter to me.
Joseph Turner
>rich blacks cause more crime Genuinely wonder what your source for this is. Also, the majority of the wealthiest and most influential people in the world are white, and their crimes are thus far more impactful (e.g. lying about air and water pollution, or gambling with other people's money).
Brandon Diaz
We're talking about statistics here, dumbass. You can't compare robbing a store to fraud or whatever.
Landon Thompson
So causing incredible amounts of environmental and economic damage is A-OK because white people did it? And let's not even get into the horror of the pharmaceutical industry, which is legalised drug pushing at this point yet you'll never see the Sacklers actually going to prison.
Kevin Sanders
Also, I asked you for your source about upper-income/wealthy blacks committing more crime. You seem to have completely ignored that request.
Jace King
You can't compare the two just because they're both crimes, they required a different mindset. And they'd be judged by completely different courts. Also, your talking to the wrong guy here. I'm a different guy. I don't believe any of that racism stuff
Brandon Morris
I CAN compare their severity, because there are crimes that affect more people than others. That's true regardless of raci issues. You simply can't morally equate robbing a cashier to damning generations to economic hardship.
James Miller
No you can't you fucking commie! Robbery and murder and all the crimes you and I can commit have a more direct affect on other people. Fraud is also bad, but on a different level. Sometimes companies or organizations are held accountable for fraud. You can't really compare that to someone being put on trial for murder now can? Also what percentage of the population, do you think, are capable of committing that sort of crime?
Adrian Gutierrez
Never forget >Defund the police.
Gavin Fisher
>I CAN compare their severity, because there are crimes that affect more people than others. Personal Foul Poster tried to equate two things which are completely different in an attempt to make one side look 'worse' than the other.

Nolan Stewart
Why is it gun owners fault some black guy tried to shoot someone over crack?
Thomas Price
It's always your fault for some reason. Even in places where guns are completely banned like in DC or Chicago, it's still your fault. Because you're not falling in line with the propaganda, so it's your fault. Think less, chud.
Gavin Lee
>mass shooting that doesn't kill anybody unironically sounds like a woman actually. Women suck at killing people. Remember that YouTube shooter who shot several people but didn't kill anyone?
John Parker
Because if there were 0 guns in the US other than the hands of well regulated militias like pigs, nasty girls, and army reserve, no one would ever be shot, duh. Just a day ago some Boebert/MTG wench was shot by her own young spawn when they found a handgun in her purse and ofc started playing shooty-shooty-bang-bang killing their own mother. So I 5 yo is now a matricide forever and ever. Thx gun nutszis!
Justin James
The persecution complex is strong in this one.
Logan Gomez
Fatal gun accidents are at an all time low and are under 500 per year in the USA. Traffic accidents kill over 35,000 in the usa per year. How do you plan to confiscate over 400,000,000 guns?
Jose Sullivan
That's all the right has anymore to try and justify their anti-democracy, anti-constitutional, authoritarian fascism. Sad thing is they've at least tried to restrain themselves in the past, but now they don't even try to hide it anymore since they have intentionally created a maniacal enraged mob who supports installing a Dear Leader Emperor no matter what, to "heh, heh pwn the libs, lollol!"
Xavier Harris
They memory holed a story about blacks adopting a white 3 year old baby and killing it to fight "white priviledge" 2 weeks ago. You know that's what they do.
Jace Gutierrez
Thats crazy. I literally went to La Salle University which is literally down the street. I used that transportation center all the time.
Thomas Baker
>400,000,000 A few days ago you gun nutzis were saying 300,000,000. It went up by 100,000,000 in a couple days? Good job gun nutzis, lol!
Only 1/3 of households own guns, which is why gun regulation has the overwhelming support of the American people. Coupled with the fact the US has 25X the number of firearm deaths compared to the other top 22 first world countries combined and the fact that the NRA executives plundered their treasury of tens of $millions so they have no more money to line the pockets of Republicant politicians (see VA where they could only muster a laughable $400,000 campaign) your days are numbered gun nutzi.
James Cruz

Anthony Cooper
The only ones who are anti constitutional fascists are the democrats who want to ban guns and force single party rule. >A few days ago you gun nutzis were saying 300,000,000. It went up by 100,000,000 in a couple days? Good job gun nutzis, lol! No idea who told you 300mill, it's been well over that for years now and there were like 40 mill sold last year alone businessinsider.com/gun-sales-boom-2020-background-checks-hit-record-highs-2021-1 >Only 1/3 of households own guns, Admit to owning guns, on a survey 10 years ago, you british faggot >which is why gun regulation has the overwhelming support of the American people. It doesn't. The majority of republicans are against it and Democrats are neither American nor people. >Coupled with the fact the US has 25X the number of firearm deaths compared to the other top 22 first world countries combined Over 2/3rds of fire arms deaths are suicides. There is no correlation between murder rate and gun ownership rate on a state by state or nation by nation level > and the fact that the NRA executives plundered their treasury of tens of $millions so they have no more money to line the pockets of Republicant politicians (see VA where they could only muster a laughable $400,000 campaign) Bloomberg/anti gunners spend more than the nra and are the ones bribing politicians. The nra wields power though voters >your days are numbered gun nutzi. Come and take them brit bong. We will kick your ass the same way we kicked it when you came for our guns in concord.
Ethan Scott
There's no fucking source, that's the whole point of memory holing, you nitwit.
Well I'm reading about it now, and it only shows up on sites like the NY Post, which according to this diseased board is no source at all. So yeah, you can call it memory holed. What you said before was misleading though. She wasn't directly adopted in order to kill her in the name of fighting white privilege. It was that the adoptive mother was making tweets about the girl's white privilege just three days before the murder. Of course, she was also claiming how she loved all her kids equally and is a mama bear that do anything to protect them, but that is now obviously a sack of shit. Nigs gonna nog at the end of the day, like all those other videos of mothers, babysitters, and daycare workers thrashing toddlers
Chase Walker
of all the homicides in the United States every year less that 1/10th of a percent are committed by registered gun owners.
So, when you want to take away a man's right to defend his home and his family, but ignore 99.9% of the people actually committing murders and let them keep their weapons... this makes you a fucking moron.
Nolan Sanders
>Because conservative whites hold racist rallies with tiki torches While liberals hold rallies with molotov cocktails. >bomb abortion clinics and federal buildings Yeah I don't think you want to talk about federal buildings when Antifa caused millions of damage to those same buildings in riots last year and this year. No abortion clinics though, but I'll raise you small businesses and police stations. >and mow down people with cars. 1) the last person to "mow" somebody down with a car was a black guy on a highway because you fucking retards blocked a FUCKING HIGHWAY at NIGHT with no lights, reflectors, etc. 2) do you really want to bring up how many times Antifa/BLM has brandished firearms at drivers during these roadblocks, and in some cases shot people?
>uh omg muh cunsurvatives bein racist muh tiki tourches The most fucking damage ever done by the right was at the capitol and that was a fucking joke compared to all the damage the left has done last year.
Ian Powell
Your point is irrelevant because it does nothing to prevent the daily shootings from happening in the first place.
Christopher Sullivan
Neither does your gun laws.
Mason Young
If you stopped and frisked all black men and only black men every day, the shooting rate would go down.
Logan Diaz
Stop projecting. I never made that claim.
Jonathan Campbell
Anitfa is as leftwing as Fascism is right wing. Both Antifa and BLM isn't endorsed by and doesn't take orders from the DNC like you think they do. Learn the difference between a peaceful protest and a riot.
Matthew Reyes
>Anitfa is as leftwing as Fascism is right wing. If you say so. >Both Antifa and BLM isn't endorsed by and doesn't take orders from the DNC like you think they do. Just as the right-wing isn't endorsed by GOP. Also I'm pretty sure there's at least a couple dozen corporations that endorse and give money to BLM, so... >Learn the difference between a peaceful protest and a riot. lol okay. Like in Portland? Minneapolis? Learn to protest peacefully then. >muh fiery but peaceful protest
Parker Cruz
> Also I'm pretty sure there's at least a couple dozen corporations that endorse and give money to BLM, A couple dozen corporations fund the NRA and the Heritage Foundation, too. What's your point? >Like in Portland? Minneapolis? Are you concern trolling again, or did your Auto Zone burn down? Don't pretend like you care what happens in those leftist filled areas. You aren't fooling anyone.
