PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are investigating a mass shooting that left two people dead and four others injured in the city's Strawberry Mansion neighborhood.
It happened just before 1 a.m. Sunday inside a home on the 2400 block of Myrtlewood Street.
The home was being used as an illegal speakeasy, authorities said.
The victims range in age from 22 years old to 53 years old.
At the scene, police say they found a 53-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to the head. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
A 41-year-old man also suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and was taken to the hospital, where he later died.
A gun was recovered from the 41-year-old.
Police also found another person, a 42-year-old man, suffering from a gunshot wound to the hand. He was taken to the hospital and is expected to be okay.
A short time after the shooting, three other gunshot victims arrived at Temple University Hospital in private vehicles.
They were a 28-year-old man shot twice in the leg, a 22-year-old woman also shot in the leg, and a 33-year-old woman shot two times in the arm.
Action News is awaiting an update on their conditions.
Police said at least 10 shots were fired as one or more people opened fire from the street into the building's front door and a window.
Action News spoke to some residents in the area about the overnight violence.
One woman, who asked not to be identified, said she was sad to see the drastic changes to her neighborhood. She's lived in the area for about 20 years.
"It's just hard. You can't go to the store, you're scared, you're looking in the back of you. People are not like they used to be. Nobody's concerned, they don't care," she said. "Strawberry Mansion used to be the best. Now you say Strawberry Mansion, it's like hell."
This is an ongoing investigation. No arrests have been made and police have not yet determined a motive for the shooting.
