This comes after the city saw two deaths and seven injuries from four separate shootings Friday.

In total, 13 people were shot in the city over the weekend in six shootings, according to police. Of the victims, two died and two were minors. Two of the shootings were triple shootings.

All of the shootings are believed to be isolated incidents, police said.

A bystander drove the boy to a hospital. He is expected to survive his injuries, police said.

The next shooting happened just after 4 a.m. Sunday at East Girard Avenue and South Florence Street, near the Oasis Night Club. Three people were injured in the shooting, police said.
