Philadelphia Shooting Perp Says He Opened Fire to Help the City Do Something About \u2018Gun Violence\u2019.<\/a><\/p>\n

On Monday, Kimbrady Carriker, a self-described computer engineer, opened fire across several Philadelphia residential blocks,\u00a0killing five people<\/a>\u00a0and wounding four more.\u00a0Carriker apparently\u00a0prepared for a hell of a shootout<\/a>\u00a0with police before going on his murder spree. . .<\/p>\n

Police said the 40-year-old male suspect was armed with a rifle, pistol, extra magazines, a police scanner and bulletproof vest when he fatally shot four men on the street and then chased and killed a fifth man inside a home.<\/em><\/p>\n

A 2-year-old boy was shot four times in the legs, while a 13-year-old\u00a0boy also suffered gunshot wounds to his legs, according to cops.<\/em><\/p>\n

The gunman had fired at police as they chased him for several blocks before he eventually surrendered in an alley, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said.<\/em><\/div>\n

When police took the reported BLM supporter alive, he was complimentary of their work. From the\u00a0Philadelphia Inquirer<\/a><\/em>\u00a0. . .<\/p>\n

The shooter accused of killing five people during a harrowing rampage in Southwest Philadelphia Monday night told police the shooting spree was an attempt to help authorities address the city\u2019s\u00a0gun<\/a>\u00a0violence crisis, and that a deity would be sending more people to help, according to sources familiar with the investigation.<\/em><\/p>\n

The assertions by Kimbrady Carriker were made to police in the hours after Carriker was arrested on the 1600 block of South Frazier Street, said the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation.<\/em><\/p>\n

Carriker first told responding officers who made the arrest that they had done a good job, the sources said. Carriker also told them the gunfire \u2014 which spanned several blocks and struck people, including two children, who had no apparent connection to one another \u2014 was an attempt to help police because \u201call these guys are out there killing people,\u201d the sources said.<\/em><\/p>\n

Carriker is reported to have used an AR pattern rifle and what\u2019s described as a \u201cghost gun.\u201d Past media reports, however, frequently fail to distinguish between homemade, non-serialized firearms and commercially produced guns that have had their serial numbers obliterated when using that intentionally incendiary term. Again from the\u00a0Inquirer<\/a><\/em>\u00a0. . .<\/p>\n

Carriker used an AR-15 assault rifle in the shooting, and was also in possession of a 9mm ghost gun, which did not have a serial number and was untraceable, Assistant District Attorney Bob Wainwright said. That handgun was not fired during the shooting, but was in Carriker\u2019s possession at the time.<\/em><\/p>\n

In searching Carriker\u2019s home, Wainwright said investigators also found a .380-caliber hangun, and additional live .223 ammunition that matched the ammunition found at the scene of the shooting. Investigators also found a will dated June 23 that was in Carriker\u2019s handwriting, but authorities were not able to discuss what the document contained.<\/em><\/p>\n
