5 people shot, one fatally, Sunday morning as a weekend of violence continues in Philadelphia with nearly two dozen shot and a holiday market marred
One of the injured was a 39-year-old innocent bystander, police said, who came out of his house in Mantua as a man in a parked car was gunned down by several shooters.
Five people were shot, one fatally, early Sunday morning in one of several shootings in Philadelphia over the weekend, including one outside a Christmas market at City Hall that critically injured a 14-year-old boy and turned a site of holiday revelry into a crime scene.
From the 4:30 p.m. Friday shooting at Dilworth Park that sent shoppers and vendors scrambling for cover to the quintuple shooting around 5:30 a.m. Sunday at D and Wyoming Streets in North Philadelphia, 22 people had been shot, four of them fatally, according to police reports.
One of the injured was a 39-year-old innocent bystander, police said, who got shot in the leg as he came out of his house on 32nd Street in Mantua around 6:30 p.m. Saturday as a man sitting in a parked car was gunned down by several shooters in what is being considered a targeted hit.
Details of Sunday morning’s multiple shooting were not available as police continued to process the scene.
Meanwhile, police have a 14-year-old in custody, charged as an adult with aggravated assault and related offenses, and are searching for at least one other suspect in connection with the shooting of three teens during an argument Friday outside the Christmas Village and the Rothman OrthopaedicsRink.
