PHILADELPHIA - Another busy weekend on South Street is expected in the wake of a deadly mass shooting that killed three and injured nearly a dozen.

Philadelphia police and city officials say they're upping security measures to help prevent another tragedy from unfolding. The Philadelphia Police Department said it had 70 officers patrolling South Street last Saturday when it's believed a fistfight escalated to gunfire.

In a statement from Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney's Office, the city says it will beef up patrols a week later. "This will include an increase in the number of officers on foot patrol, as well as PPD's mounted unit," a statement from the mayor's office read in part.

South Street, one of Philadelphia's most trafficked thoroughfares in the summer, is expecting another big crowd from the Odunde Festival and Flower Show. RELATED HEADLINESLocal business owners are used to the volume when the weather warms up, but some believe it's becoming unmanageable.

Armed officer watched gunman enter Texas school before massacre, review finds

AUSTIN, Texas - A police officer armed with a rifle watched the gunman in the Uvalde elementary school massacre walk toward the campus but did not fire while waiting for permission from a supervisor to shoot, according to a sweeping critique released Wednesday on the tactical response to the May massacre.Some of the 21 victims at Robb Elementary School, including 19 children, likely "could have been saved" on May 24 had they received medical attention sooner while police waited more than an hour before breaching the fourth-grade classroom, a review by a training center at Texas State University for active shooter situations found.The report is yet another damning assessment of how police failed to act on opportunities that might have saved lives in what became the deadliest school shooting in the U.S. since the slaughter at Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012."A reasonable officer would have considered this an active situation and devised a plan to address the suspect," read the report published by the university's Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training program.Authors of the 26-page report said their findings were based off video taken from the school, police body cameras, testimony from officers on the scene and statements from investigators.
