PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 40-year-old man with a rifle, a pistol, a bulletproof vest, extra magazines and a police scanner fatally shot four men on the streets of a Philadelphia neighborhood and chased and killed a fifth man inside a home, police say. Two boys, ages 2 and 13, were also wounded in the Monday night shooting spree that made the city the site of the nation’s worst violence around the July 4 holiday. The gunman fired at police as they chased him for blocks. When they caught up, he surrendered in an alley, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw says. The shooter had no prior connection to the victims, she says.
