Six separate shootings across Philadelphia on Halloween night and early Sunday morning resulted in two fatalities and five people injured, according to police.
The deadliest incident occurred at 6:50 p.m. when a 15‑year‑old boy was shot after an argument at a gas station. Four teenagers were among those wounded in the series of incidents, and two of the victims remain in critical condition.
Police have not provided specific motives for the other shootings. The spate of gunfire took place during a period when the city typically experiences an increase in violent incidents.
