Saturday night in Philadelphia. A mass shooting on 4th and South Street reported that nearly a dozen people had been shot. I was at the crime scene where police cordoned off the famous weekend strip, a trail that seemed to be dripping blood on the pavement in front of Rita’s Water Ice. pic.twitter.com/mkUoTvgy2I
