In Philadelphia, on Wednesday afternoon, eight people were shot near a SEPTA train station. 

Authorities said one person has been taken into police custody and two weapons have been recovered.

The victims of the shooting were aged between 17 and 71 years.

One of the victims is in critical conditions while the other seven are stable.

Authorities said the 71-year-old man, who was shot in the stomach and multiple times, is in critical condition.

Initial reports said seven people were shot but in an evening update, police said that the eighth man walked into Albert Einstein Medical Center on his own with a bullet graze wound to his stomach.

Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said that there could have been multiple shooters. He added, "There were multiple casings found, 18 casings, and we're still trying to determine if they all came from the same firearm."

 Outlaw said of the afternoon shooting. "We were able to get someone in custody as quickly as we did because we had officers out working on another assignment. It’s not for our lack of presence out here, but I think it's very telling that folks willing to engage in these shootings are becoming more and more emboldened whether we're here or not."

Police said they are working to identify the witnesses and track down the surveillance footage.
