A man died from his injuries hours after being shot outside a South Street bar.
Philadelphia Police tell NBC10 the 21-year-old man, whose identity wasn't immediately released, died at the hospital at 7:35 p.m.

During the brawl, police say a 23-year-old man pulled out a gun and fired 10 shots.
“One of the people from inside the bar started shooting at one of the other people from inside the bar” said Philadelphia Police Capt. Frank Llewellyn.
The 21-year-old man was struck several times. He was rushed to Jefferson University Hospital.
