At least four shots were fired from a 9mm gun, according to authorities. Investigators are working to obtain better video of the shooting to determine how it happened and to get a better description of the shooter.

Sunday's shooting was the latest in a violent weekend in Philadelphia. Shootings left at least two people dead and several others hurt.
