A local hospital who took in the victims reported that one of the teenagers is said to be severely injured. The other seven victims are now in stable condition.

According to authorities, police are now searching for the driver of a dark blue Hyundai Elantra with paper tags that was holding the three shooters. The suspects were last seen “driving toward Cheltenham Township across a bridge” while wearing masks.
After hearing the gunshots, an unidentified woman who works at a nearby restaurant, Quaker Diner, ran outside to see what was happening. She quickly assisted the victims until police and paramedics arrived.
