(CNN) — A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire along several blocks in southwestern Philadelphia before police apprehended him on Monday evening – a shooting that’s left four people dead and two children injured, authorities said. … But thank God our officers were here on scene and responded as quickly as they did,” Outlaw said. Outlaw described the conditions of the two children who were shot – ages 2 and 13 – as stable. The archive, like CNN, defines a mass shooting as one in which four or more people are shot, not including the shooter. Officers became aware of Monday’s shooting around 8:30 p.m. when they were flagged down at an intersection and found some gunshot victims, Outlaw said.
