NBC10 was at the scene where police shut down several blocks during the investigation. Two vehicles at the scene were heavily damaged; including one where police were seen on cell phone video smashing the window to rescue the man who later died and take him to the hospital.
“I was deep sleeping and I just heard, pop pop pop pop pop pop,” said Dan Singletary, who lives in the area. “I jumped up and I looked out the window, but I didn’t see nobody.”
Police have not identified any suspects.
According to police, two other shootings happened overnight, another in North Philadelphia and one in Southwest Philadelphia:
Police said just after 3 a.m. on Sunday, officers were called to the 2700 block of North Hemberger Street in North Philadelphia for reports of gunshots. Officers found a shooting scene on the street but did not find a victim.
Shortly afterward, police said a 32-year-old woman arrived at a nearby hospital by private vehicle suffering from gunshot wounds to the abdomen, back and right leg. She was listed in stable condition.
An investigation revealed someone began firing, and the woman was hit, according to police.
Then, several hours later, in Southwest Philadelphia, police said just before 7 a.m. on Sunday, a 42-year-old man was shot on the 6200 block of Woodland Avenue.
