"We believe that he exited that apartment and engaged anyone that he could," Bernhardt said. 

The shooter continued his rampage by opening fire on SEPTA police officers near 69th Street Terminal, according to police. Bernhardt said the officers returned fire and chased down the suspect and placed him in custody at 69th and Ludlow streets. 

"The male is in custody, SEPTA officers are fine, and we have two different crime scenes were working with, so it's very active and fluid," Bernhardt said. 

Police continue to investigate the massive shooting scene. 

Editor's Note: Preliminary reports said a person was shot on the 69th Street Terminal footbridge. Police later clarified that the victim was shot on the sidewalk outside of the apartment building where the first shooting happened.
