3 dead, 7 wounded during first few hours of new year in Philadelphia
[BIZPACREVIEW] The left-wing city of Philadelphia rang in the New Year with more death and grief, continuing a cycle that’s plagued the city since far-left, Soros-funded prosecutor Larry Krasner was voted into office in 2017.According to Philly station WTXF, three people were fatally shot and seven maimed within the first few hours after the New Year had begun at 12:00 a.m.

"[P]olice were called to the 100 block of East Luray Street New Year’s morning, around 1:30, on a report of shots fired. Responding officers found a 33-year-old man suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. He was rushed to Temple University Hospital where he died," the station reported.

"Just before 2 a.m., Philadelphia and Temple police responded to multiple calls regarding gunshots on Cecil B. Moore, between Willington and 17th Streets. Officers found two unidentified people suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. They were rushed to Temple were (sic) they both died," according to WTXF.

The report was published at 6:35 a.m., meaning there was still plenty of time for additional murders to be committed on New Year’s Day. As disturbing as that may sound, this is, sadly, what one might call the "my truth" of Philadelphia.

According to a statement published by Philadelphia City Council President Darrell L. Clarke fairly early on the afternoon of New Year’s Eve, 559 people had by then been killed and 2,300 shot in Philadelphia in 2021 alone.

"More than 60 homicide victims were children or teens. No neighborhood is immune. More lives were lost to gun violence this year than any year in Philadelphia history," he wrote in a statement on New Year’s Eve.
