A doorbell camera caught a horrifying and deadly Philadelphia shootout that killed three and injured ten.
Chaos, fear and return fire were all captured courtesy of a Ring camera as gunshots rang out on Monday evening in the Grays Ferry neighborhood of Philadelphia. The 20-second clip shows the shootout that occurred on the 1500 block of South Etting Street where a group of people was gathered at around 1am.

Law enforcement indicates that shooters off-camera instigated the deadly altercation, while those on the porch fired back in what appears to be self-defense. The victims of the crime were listed as being between the ages of 15-24.
Zahir Wylie, 23, Jason Reese, 19, and Azir Harris, 24, were killed in the shooting, according to ABC6.
“Among the other victims are a 15-year-old girl and two 17-year-old boys,” the outlet added. “There is a 19-year-old man listed in critical condition.”
All other victims are expected to survive.
“This is coward stuff. You see the size of this block – individuals just shooting randomly into houses, into cars,” said Philadelphia Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel. “I mean, this is coward, wannabe thug stuff.”
Bethel believes the initial shots were fired indiscriminately, despite the presence of children at the location. He said it is “hard to understand” why anyone would do this, but vowed to “get to the root cause and we will bring those individuals to justice.”
One person with a weapon is already in custody, though their exact involvement in the incident is still unknown.
