According to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small, more than 30 shell casings were found at the scene.

"Some of the shell casings were actually inside of the bar located on the corner of 7th and Oregon, so, we know shots were fired from inside the bar as well as outside the bar," Small told NBC10.

A 38-year-old man was shot three times, once in the shoulder, the back and the left hand. A 35-year-old man was shot twice in the back and once in the arm. A 34-year-old man was shot once in the face, according to police.

All of the victims were transported to the hospital and placed in stable condition, Small said.

He said a firearm was found at the scene but no arrests have been made at this time.

An investigation, he said, is ongoing.
