Woman, 23, critically wounded in North Philly shooting

A 23-year-old woman was hospitalized in critical condition Wednesday evening after being found shot in the head outside a Save A Lot in North Philadelphia, police said.

Just after 6:30 p.m., the woman was found near the entrance to the supermarket at 2101 W. Lehigh Ave. Officers responding to the scene took her to Temple University Hospital.

Surveillance video showed that a two-door Audi sedan was driving through the parking lot when the woman either jumped or was pushed from the passenger side, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.

The woman slid about 50 feet before stopping in front of the Save A Lot entrance, Small said.

The Audi, which had a Virginia license plate, was found a short time later double-parked and abandoned on the 2100 block of West Indiana Avenue, Small said.

There was blood and a single spent shell casing inside the car, he said.
