PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Two gunmen fired at least 32 shots into a crowd watching the NBA Finals in North Philadelphia Thursday night, killing one person.
A 21-year-old man was injured, but he is in stable condition. A 48-year-old man was killed.
Police Inspector D.F. Pace said a group of about five people was watching the basketball game.
“They were all seated here. My understanding is they also had a big screen set up. They were watching the basketball game at the time and eating and drinking at the time that the shooting occurred,” he said.
