A Philadelphia Municipal Court Judge ruled Thursday that the most serious charges against four of six defendants in the Grays Ferry mass shooting from last summer will be held for trial.

For the first time, families of the victims and defendants watched a video from the night of July 7, 2025, that showed 14 solid seconds of gunfire. Prosecutors said 15 guns were fired and 145 pieces of ballistic evidence were recovered.

Thirteen people were shot in a hail of gunfire, including three who died.
