According to police, one of the victims returned fire.
Overall, cops say, least 20 shots were fired.
One of the victims made his way into a house to try to get help. A medic unit picked one up victim, and most of the others were driven to the hospital. All of them are expected to recover.
This follows a shooting at a North Philadelphia apartment complex that left one dead and six wounded on Wednesday.
“We’re finding most of this violence is gang-related," Deputy Police Commissioner Melvin Singleton said. "Groups versus groups."
Singleton says police are always concerned about the potential for innocent people being caught in the crossfire.
"This is very, very serious and hazardous to the community," he said.
No one has been arrested. Police say video of the shooting was captured on a surveillance camera, and they hope people come forward with information.
