Police: Dispatch errors made after first killing by accused Philadelphia mass shooter

A day before killing four people in a mass shooting in Philadelphia last week, authorities say the gunman went to his first victim's door wearing a dark mask, shot through it before entering the home and continued to shoot, police officials said at a news conference Monday. The details were revealed a day after police announced that it was likely Joseph Wamah Jr., 31, had been killed in the early hours of July 2, and not during the larger July 3 attack, as police had initially thought. Authorities also revealed that a 911 call reporting the gunshots had been misrouted to the wrong neighborhood. An investigation is underway into Wamah's murder and the emergency response following the first shooting. #massshooting #philadelphia https://6abc.com/philadelphia-mass-shooting-joseph-wamah-murder-kimbrady-carriker-suspect-philly-911-call/13486255/
