Good morning, Philadelphia.

On July 5, police said eight people were wounded in a mass shooting outside 7 Elements bar early morning when an argument escalated into a knife fight and a security guard fired his weapon — officers quickly responded by transporting four victims by ambulance and four by private vehicle to nearby hospitals where all are in stable condition.

Philadelphia police responded to a mass shooting in Grays Ferry on the 1500 block of South Etting Street just before 1 a.m. Monday that left three people dead and 10 injured, and investigators are reviewing links to weekend arrests.

Police arrested 28-year-old Ariza Giansteban in New Jersey on Saturday after he shot a Philadelphia school safety officer during a June 29 road rage incident on I-95—he fled east on Girard Avenue near Dave and Buster’s.

ICE agents arrested five Guatemalan men at a home near 20th and Morris in South Philadelphia on Sunday, and a neighbor’s video shows officers handling two men while a nearby resident yelled at agents—an action that local group Juntos said reflects a pattern of harsh ICE tactics.

Early Monday morning, gunfire erupted in Grays Ferry when 12 people were shot—3 died and 9 were wounded—and police said the incident marked Philadelphia's second mass shooting in three days.

Philadelphia's municipal workers union strike reached its sixth day on Sunday after talks stalled and led to disrupted trash collection and changes in July 4 events, with headliners canceling performances in support of the picket lines.

City officials said essential services continued and urged residents to use dumpsters properly—while a judge ordered some Medical Examiner staff back to work—despite reports of minor trash fires at collection sites.

Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle L.

Parker did not reach a deal with DC 33 union leaders after seven days of strike, and trash has piled on streets while garbage pickup remains on hold. The city set up 60 drop-off sites that operate from 6 a.m. until 10 p.m. Monday to Saturday—residents can bring up to eight bags on their assigned day.
