A mass shooting in Philadelphia on Monday left at least five people dead and two kids injured but a 40-year-old suspect has been apprehended about ten minutes later.
The suspect was reportedly wearing a ballistic vest and police recovered a scary "AR-style" long gun, a police scanner, extra ammunition, the Philadelphia Inquirer report said. Other media said the dickwad also had a handgun.
“We have absolutely no idea why this happened,” said cool-named Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw. “At this point, all we know is that this person left their home and decided to target individuals.” Maybe she could ask Alexa why people kill strangers when they see how others came to the public's attention after doing so, which is why Brain Flushings never prints their name or photo.

According to Commissioner Outlaw, the shooter began around 8:30 pm in the Kingsessing section of the city. Cops responded and found 50 spent shell casings at the scene and they heard gunshots nearby.
They chased the suspect as the gunfire continued before cornering and confronting him in an alley. They told him to drop the weapon and put his hands up when he finally surrendered and was arrested. Outlaw said that no police fired their weapons during the incident.
“Thank God our officers were here on scene, they responded as quickly as they did, I can’t even describe the level of bravery and courage that was shown in addition to the restraint,” Outlaw continued.
Police identified the deceased victims as five men between the ages of 20-59. Boys, ages two and 13-year-old were also injured. Both are reportedly in stable condition.
Initial reports said four people had been killed, but a fifth victim was found inside a home four hours after the shooting. Police said a man arrived home to find his 31-year-old son dead.
“We believe because of where he was found and where his house is on 56th Street and the fact that we found ballistic evidence that matches the ballistic evidence we found on the street a few hours earlier, we believe this homicide is related,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
Democratic Mayor Jim Kenney tweeted his condolences on Monday night, which made everyone feel better online.

“Horrified by the reports of a shooting in Southwest Philadelphia,” he tweeted. “My heart is with the loved ones and families of everyone involved, and I send my prayers to the victims.”
When Democrat politicians offer their prayers, it has been found that nearly 97% do not actually pray as they claimed, and their hearts also tend to not get involved.
Outlaw said another individual who allegedly fired at the gunman during the shooting was also arrested.
