Police said they received a 911 call just after 4:30 p.m. that more than 500 people had congregated at the intersection of Broad Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue. 

Temple police shared on X that both police forces were working together to break up the large crowd of people when they heard the shots fired right before 6 p.m.
