A Philadelphia resident arrested in one of a series of mass shootings across the country over the Fourth of July weekend was arraigned in court on Wednesday on five murder counts and other charges, online court records showed.

The suspect, identified as 40-year-old Kimbrady Carriker, made an appearance in Philadelphia County Municipal Court for an arraignment on charges that also included four counts of attempted murder plus reckless endangerment and aggravated assault charges, court records showed.

"We're talking about completely innocent bystanders who did absolutely nothing to put themselves at risk and they have suffered this horrifying consequence," District Attorney Larry Krasner said during an interview on CNN on Wednesday. A total of 16 mass shootings took place across the nation from Friday evening until Wednesday morning, leaving 15 dead and 94 injured, according to the Gun Violence Archive, which defines a mass shooting as any in which four or more people are wounded or killed, not including the shooter.

Two people died at the scene of the shooting, a third died at a hospital and police later discovered another body in a nearby field on Wednesday morning, Sergeant Angie Willhite, an official with the Shreveport police, said. Another mass shooting occurred in Salisbury, Maryland during a block party. It left a 14-year-old boy dead and six injured.
