At least three people have died and dozens others have been injured in a horror mass shooting in Philadelphia, with terrified witnesses reporting hundreds of shots fired at a street party.
Police said the shooting took place at around 1am local time at the 1200-block of South 27th Street.

Another eight people were shot in a separate incident in the city on Saturday.
Journalist Steve Keeley said: "Philly Police on the scene in Grays Ferry along South Etting Street. Fatalities among a double-digit number of victims already, that has been going up with more shooting victims arriving at two different hospitals so far, police sources tell me."
