Eight Injured in South Philadelphia Bar Shooting

Eight people were injured in a mass shooting early Saturday morning at the 7 Elements Restaurant Bar and Lounge in South Philadelphia, following updated police reports that clarified the victim count after some were initially double-counted. The shooting occurred just before 4 a.m., with two victims, including a security guard shot in the face and a woman shot in the back, in critical condition, but all are expected to survive. Authorities found multiple shell casings on the second floor and in the parking lot, though it remains unclear how many shooters were involved. The bar was found closed upon police arrival, and officers forced entry to check for additional victims. The motive remains unknown, no arrests have been made, and police are reviewing surveillance footage. Authorities continue to seek information from the public.
