Philadelphia Mass Shooting: A mass shooting was reported at Fairmount Park in the United States' Philadelphia on Monday night, where two people were killed and nine others were wounded. According to police, at least two of the shooting victims are believed to be juveniles.
The incident happened around 10:30 pm on Lemon Hill Drive at Poplar Drive, local media reports said.
All nine injured in the Monday night shooting are in stable condition, police said.
A male and a female, both adults, died in the shooting, however, their age is not known yet.
A large number of adults were present at the park, according to the police.
"We have not recovered any weapons at this time," the officer said. No arrests have been made.
"This is significant. It's Memorial Day... we understand the significance of this event and we will make sure to provide an update on Tuesday."
The park where the incident took place was busy during the day as people gathered for Memorial Day cookouts. Memorial Day, traditionally observed on the last Monday of May, is a federal holiday in the United States dedicated to honouring and mourning military personnel who have died in the performance of their duties.
The incident came a day after ten people were shot during a fight that started on a private boat off the South Carolina coast, holding a holiday weekend party on Sunday night. No one died in the shooting in Little River, although some of the wounded were in critical condition, Horry County Police said in a statement.
