Philadelphia Shooting: Dramatic Footage Released

Police have released dramatic video of a gunman firing into a Philadelphia takeaway shop and wounding three people.

The surveillance footage shows a man in a grey tracksuit walking up to the Chinese takeaway and blasting through the front door on Tuesday night.

Police posted the video, which features images from inside the shop as well as from a camera outside, on YouTube in an attempt to try and find the suspect.

The footage shows several young men scrambling to hold the door shut from the inside as the suspect continues shooting.

The gunman pushes open the door far enough to fire several shots and hits three of the men inside.

The surveillance video appears to show him firing more shots through the door before he ran away.

Investigators say a total of 10 shots were fired, and the gunman fled when he ran out of bullets.

Police said none of the victims suffered life-threatening injuries.

Why waste so much time fighting to open the door, he had no problem firing through it! I agree it does seem strange that everyboody appears to be wearing hoodies! Would be interesting to know how many who were in the shop at the time were still there when the police arrived!

None. They wouldn't want to be identified as potential witnesses.
