THIS is the terrifying moment gunmen opened fire in a Philadelphia neighbourhood during a gathering of young people.

The gun battle between multiple shooters broke out just after 1 am on Monday in South Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, officials said.

Distressing Ring camera footage shows young people scrambling on top of one another outside a home as gunmen open fire.

Several gunmen can be seen shooting at random as the group takes cover.

The Sun has not published any footage showing people being injured or killed.

12 people were reportedly shot in the gun battle.

The three people who lost their lives were identified as a 24-year-old man, a 23-year-old man and a 19-year-old man.

The 24-year-old man has been identified as Azir Harris, according to the Philadelphia Inquirer.

The dad-of-one had been left paralyzed by a shooting in 2018 and had since advocated against gun violence.

On Monday, he was shot multiple times in his back while sitting in his wheelchair at the gathering.

Harris’s father, Troy, also told the outlet that the mother of Harris’ one-year-old son was also injured in the tragedy.

Speaking at the scene, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said “this is coward stuff”, according to NBC affiliate WCAU.

“This is, you know, you see the size of this block. I mean, just individuals just shooting randomly into houses, into cars, children out here.

“I mean, this is coward, wanna-be thug stuff.”

One person has been arrested in connection with the shooting, Bethel said.

Police are still searching for the other gunmen, and it remains unclear how many shooters were involved.

JULY 4 VIOLENCE

The shooting is just one of 15 that occurred in Philadelphia between July 4 and July 7.

Police reported a total of six deaths and at least 35 injuries across those incidents.

Deadly shootings also took place over the holiday weekend in various cities such as Albany, New York; Charlottesville, Virginia; and Chicago, Illinois.

According to a CNN report from last year, gun violence often intensifies around July 4 each year, a pattern that experts attribute to factors like warmer weather and more alcohol consumption.
