One man next to the Ring doorbell camera can be seen firing his semi-automatic handgun uncontrollably over the group of people directly at his feet.

As a result of the gunfire outbreak, nearby homes were hit by bullets during the shooting, though police said nobody inside the homes was struck.

According to FOX 29 in Philadelphia, during the Fourth of July weekend, six individuals lost their lives, and more than a dozen others were wounded in various shootings throughout the city.

“People are going to wake up and hear about many of the incidents that occurred over the weekend, but we are not turning back,” Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel stated.

The station reported that eight people were injured in a shooting outside a South Philadelphia bar overnight Friday as people were wrapping up their Independence Day celebrations.
