(PHILADELPHIA) — Arrest warrants were issued Monday for two suspects in a mass shooting Saturday night in Philadelphia as police continue to work to identify other gunmen in the rampage that left three people dead and 11 injured, according to prosecutors.
Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner said at a news conference that he approved charges against two suspects “in connection to what we anticipate are non-fatal shootings.”
Assistant District Attorney Joanne Pescatore said warrants were issued for Quran Garner, who was shot by a police officer during the incident and is in custody, and a second individual, whose name was not released, and who remains at large.
Pescatore said Garner, who was undergoing surgery Monday on an injured hand, is charged with two counts of aggravated assault and two counts of aggravated assault on law enforcement officers.
The unnamed individual is charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, simple assault, recklessly endangering another person, conspiracy, violating the uniform firearms act, possession of an instrument of crime, tampering with evidence and obstruction of justice.
Citing security video, Pescatore said the shooting erupted after one of the victims she identified as Micah Towns got into a physical confrontation with Gregory Jackson, a 34-year-old man who was killed in the shooting.
Pescatore said Towns and Jackson were passing each other on the same side of South Street when words were exchanged, setting off a melee.
“Jackson takes a swing at Micah Towns, striking him in the face,” Pescatore said.
She said the unnamed wanted suspect, who was with Jackson at the time, gets involved in the fight.
“Micah Towns is thrown against a window while they are beating on him,” Pescatore said.
She said Jackson, who had a valid permit to carry a concealed firearm, is seen on video pulling out a gun and holding it to his side. She said, Towns, who also had a concealed firearm permit, drew his gun and fired at Jackson in self-defense, killing him.
Pescatore said the unnamed suspect then shot Towns, who remains in a hospital in serious condition.
She said Garner, who was with Towns at the time, then allegedly drew a weapon and fired in the direction of where the melee occurred as police converged on the scene.
She said Garner then allegedly aimed his weapon at officers, who fired at him, striking him in the hand.
Pescatore said Garner ran from the area yelling “he shot my hand off” and police lost him in the crowd. She said Garner later approached other officers dealing with a separate shooting on Second Street, claimed he had been shot in the incident and was taken to a hospital.
Pescatore said Garner allegedly fired a Ghost gun, a non-traceable weapon, in the shooting and that it remains unclear if he hit anyone. The gun also had an extended magazine.
The unnamed suspect remained at the scene rendering medical aid to Jackson, Pescatore said.
She said the suspect gave his name and address to police and was allowed to leave the scene. It was only after investigators reviewed the video did they realize the man was involved in the shooting and was caught on video picking up Jackson’s gun and giving it to an unidentified man in a blue hooded sweatshirt who fled with the weapon.
Pescatore said at least four guns — three 9mm weapons and a .40-caliber handgun — were involved in the shooting on Second Street, a popular nightlife area full of bars and restaurants that was crowded with hundreds of people when the shooting erupted.
She said the crime scene encompassed about a two block area.
Philadelphia police officials said officers recovered two guns from the scene, including one with an extended magazine, authorities said.
“Hour by hour we are finding out more information,” Krasner said.
Krasner described witnessing a “chilling” scene when he visited the site of the shooting just hours after it occurred.
“It is no less chilling that it happened in no less than 10 places around the country in a space of a few days,” said Krasner, referring to mass shootings that occurred over the weekend in nine different states that left a total of at least 17 people dead and 62 injured.
The Philadelphia shooting erupted just before midnight Saturday at the busy intersection of Third and South streets.
Inspector D.F. Pace of the Philadelphia Police Department said hundreds of people were milling about the area when the shooting caused a panic and sent people running in all directions, some diving behind cars for cover.
Investigators are combing through security video to identify other suspects and determine a motive for the shooting, Pescatore said.
She urged anyone with information about the shooting to contact homicide investigators.
Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said at a news conference on Sunday that two of the slain victims were innocent bystanders as well as many of those who were wounded.
One of those killed was identified as Kris Minners, a resident adviser at Girard College in Philadelphia, the Girard College Federation of Teachers union said in a statement. Two more victims were identified by the Philadelphia Police Department Sunday afternoon as Jackson and 27-year-old Alexis Quinn.
“The loss of Kris reminds us that gun violence can and will touch everyone in our nation as long as our elected officials allow it to continue,” the teachers’ union statement read.

Apparently never hearing of the tragedy of Snakes on a Plane, Sony Pictures saw endless memes of its superhero movie Morbius as a good thing and rereleased it in theaters this weekend.
Even star Jared Leto got in on the fun, with a viral social media post of himself getting caught reading the script for Morbius 2: It’s Morbin’ Time.
However, “any publicity is good publicity” didn’t quite translate to a theatrical goose to the poorly performing movie’s bottom line.
The critic- and fan-panned film jumped back into 1,000 theaters on Friday and swiftly proved fans had been laughing at and not with the filmmakers: The movie made just $85,000 on its first day of rerelease.
The situation was avoidable, had the studio remembered the lessons of 2006’s Snakes on a Plane, starring Samuel L. Jackson — a movie whose trailer was so thoroughly memed, before memes were a thing — that it led to reshoots.
There, too, however, fan-suggested improvements like Jackson’s character insisting he’d “had it with these emmer-effing snakes on this emmer-effing plane” didn’t help the movie’s box office fate. Then again, the budget was small, so it ended up turning a profit on paper.
Unlike its immortal vampiric hero, Morbius now appears dead for good — but the jokes live on.
“Sony has announced MORBIUS will be released once a month until their demands are met,” snarked one Twitter user.
“It’s a hard pill to swallow but…the risk will never be zero. we will always be on the verge of another morbius release,” jabbed another.
More than 25 years after she joined the Scream franchise, and the very year she reunited with her cast members for a hit reboot, Neve Campbell is apparently done.
“Sadly I won’t be making the next Scream film,” she said in a statement obtained by ABC Audio.
“As a woman I have had to work extremely hard in my career to establish my value, especially when it comes to Scream. I felt the offer that was presented to me did not equate to the value I have brought to the franchise.”
The Lincoln Lawyer star added, “It’s been a very difficult decision to move on. To all my Scream fans, I love you. You’ve always been so incredibly supportive to me. I’m forever grateful to you and to what this franchise has given me over the past 25 years.”
The sixth film in the franchise is getting underway this summer with Melissa Barrera, Jasmin Savoy Brown andJenna Ortega returning, along with Scream series O.G. Courteney Cox back as Gale Weathers.

The Grammy winner made history with his third studio album after it sold 182,000 vinyl copies — which allowed him to rake in $4.49 million on those sales alone. That is the highest total of vinyl records sold since tracking company Luminate began recording vinyl sales in 1991.
Overall, Harry’s House made $7.26 million in its first week. It was streamed 253.3 million times.
The British singer is also celebrating the album’s main single “As It Was” maintained its number one spot atop the Billboard 100 for a fifth week. Fans streamed the song an additional 27.6 million streams and bought 6,500 more copies.
This week’s Hot 100 also saw an 80s icon remerge on the chart thanks to Stranger Things. Kate Bush‘s viral hit “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God),” which plays during the pivotal moment when Sadie Sink‘s Max escapes the horrifying demon Vecna, surged to number eight on the chart.
The 1985 single previously peaked at number 30 and, thanks to its newfound fame, it’s now her highest-charting song to date and first top 10 hit. The song was streamed 17.5 million times over the past week and sold 18,300 additional copies.
