Source: ABC News

Two people are dead, and nine others have been injured in a Memorial Day mass shooting in Philadelphia, authorities said.

The shooting took place at Fairmount Park in Philadelphia on Monday evening, the final day of the long Memorial Day weekend, when gunfire erupted at approximately 10:27 p.m. on Lemon Hill Drive at Poplar Drive, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.

Two people – an unnamed adult man and woman -- were killed and at least nine others were injured in the shooting, including three teenagers between the ages of 15 and 17, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel said.

Multiple rounds were fired, Bethel said, and investigators are working to determine if several different weapons were involved.
