Three victims were rushed to nearby hospitals by officers. Five others showed up on their own. All are expected to survive, but two are in critical condition:
A security guard shot in the face.

- Here’s a breakdown of the victims:

Police recovered shell casings inside the second-floor bar, along the staircase, and in the parking lot. Investigators say it’s not clear if the shots came from above or if someone was firing from below.
“This business should not be open that late,” said Inspector D.F. Pace. “Upon arrival it was shut, and we had to ensure there were no other victims inside.”
No arrests have been made. The Shooting Investigation Group is leading the case.
Anyone with information is urged to call or text 215-686-TIPS (8477) or submit a tip online.
