Philadelphia police are asking the public for help in identifying four people who they say were involved in a shooting at a West Philadelphia recreation center on Wednesday that left five people injured, including a 10-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl.

In surveillance footage released by police, four young men are seen walking down 56th Street and crossing Christian Street, and heading toward the Christy Recreation Center, where gunfire broke out shortly after 4 p.m., disrupting the peace of people trying to find respite at the pool from the day’s searing heat.
