Eight people were injured after a shooter, possibly multiple shooters, opened fire at a South Philadelphia nightclub early Saturday morning, police said.

A total of five men and three women, ranging in age from 25 to 43 years old, were hurt. 

All victims are expected to survive and per the latest update from police, all are in stable condition. Most of their injuries are from gunshot wounds to extremities (arms and legs).

As some people were still enjoying 4th of July festivities late into the night, shots rang out just before 4 a.m. at the 7 Elements restaurant, bar and lounge on 11th Street between Washington Avenue and Ellsworth Street.

Inspector D F Pace said police responding to a report of one person shot inside arrived on the scene and found at least three people with gunshot wounds.

Those victims were taken to a nearby hospital, and officers later learned that other victims had been struck by gunfire and found their own way to area hospitals.

After initially saying 11 people were hurt, police clarified that there were only eight victims and some were counted twice. Two of the shooting victims were working security guards.

How the shooting played out, and why, is still under investigation. In a later update, police said the shooting stemmed from a fight on the balcony outside the second-floor business inside the Wing Phat Plaza.

Investigators are looking at surveillance video to determine how many shooters were involved and a description of who they're looking for.

This is a developing story and will be updated.
