A husband and wife were shot and killed at point-blank range in West Philadelphia, police said
Andrew Bullock and Nicole Lee-Bullock were shot and killed feet away from their home early Friday morning, police said.
A husband and wife were shot and killed early Friday morning just steps from their West Philadelphia home, police said.
Around 2:45 a.m. Friday on the 6100 block of Locust Street, police found a 47-year-old man and a 42-year-old woman with multiple gunshot wounds. Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene.
Police identified the victims Friday night as Andrew Bullock and Nicole Lee-Bullock.
The woman was shot once in the back of the head, and the man was shot once in the face, police said.
More than a dozen shots were fired, police said, 15 of them at point-blank range.
There were 18 shell casings found at the scene, Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters.
The couple was killed just a few feet from their home, police said.
Although a motive for the crime was unclear, police believed that at least one of the victims was targeted, said Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore. The couple were coming home from a lounge where they both worked when they were shot, he said.
No arrests have been made. A handgun still in its holster that had been in the woman’s purse was recovered at the scene, police said.
