I-95 has reopened in Northeast Philadelphia after Pennsylvania State Police closed the northbound lanes of the busy highway for hours Wednesday morning, just as travelers hit the road ahead of Thanksgiving.

Officers began investigating a shooting at the Academy Road exit that injured three people around 2:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, the Pennsylvania State Police said. Two victims, age 25 and 29, are from Trenton. Another, also age 25, is from Morrisville.

One victim suffered a graze wound, while another was in stable condition Wednesday morning, police said. The third victim was in critical condition.

Police said they found a Chevrolet with “several bullet holes on the passenger side of the vehicle.”

There are no current suspects, and police said the investigation was ongoing.
