PHILADELPHIA — Investigators are searching for answers as to why someone wearing a ski mask and body armor went on a shooting spree in Philadelphia on the eve of the Fourth of July, gunning down five people.
"This armed and armored individual wreaked havoc, firing with a rifle at their victims, seemingly at random," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said during a press conference on Tuesday.
Kingsessing resident Theo James said he heard a young man screaming for"help" before realizing there were multiple gunshot victims. Lashyd Merritt's mother, Marie Merritt, said her son was headed to a store across the street from their home when he was shot dead, telling WPVI:"It's like I feel him saying, 'Why me, why me, why me?'"
