1 Killed In Independence Hall Road Rage Shooting: Reports

PHILADELPHIA, PA - A dirt bike driver was killed and another driver was injured during a road rage shooting near Independence Hall in Philadelphia Saturday, according to several reports.

The shooting took place at 9:03 p.m. along the 100 block of South Independence Mall East in Old City, NBC10 reported.

A high-ranking law enforcement official told the outlet the spat began as a dispute between a group of dirt bike riders and the driver of a 2016 Cadillac between the 500 and 600 block of Chestnut Street.

The driver then shot one of the dirt bike riders, later identified as Angel Luis Rios, 29, 6abc reported. The 2016 Cadillac driver, 36, was shot in the arm by one of the dirt bike riders.

Rios was pronounced dead at an area hospital at around 9:27 p.m.

"An awful lot of people were traveling in cars or motorcycles with guns, an awful lot of people had no trouble at all getting permits to carry," Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner told 6abc. "And that's a problem."

A 24-year-old who was reportedly shooting at the Cadillac, which fled the scene, was arrested by National Park Service Rangers, NBC10 added.

The Cadillac driver was being treated for his injury at an area hospital. His condition was not immediately made clear. No charges have been filed as of Tuesday morning.
