A shooting in a southwest Philadelphia neighborhood killed four people and injured four others, according to multiple media reports. One person is in custody and a gun has been recovered, police spokesman Miguel Torres told CNN. Authorities said the person arrested was wearing a ballistic vest. Earlier, police spokeswoman Jasmine Reilly told CNN that six victims were taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and two to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. The shooting happened in the 5700 block of Warrington Avenue in Philadelphia’s Kingsessing neighborhood, police said. At least 339 mass shootings have occurred in the US so far this year, according to the Gun Violence Archive. The archive defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more people are shot, not including the shooter. This is a developing story and will be updated.
