2 hospitalized in Harrowgate shootings

A pair of shootings left two men injured Tuesday afternoon within the span of less than an hour in Harrowgate, police said.

Just before 3:15 p.m., a 27-year-old man was rushed to Temple University Hospital in extremely critical condition after he was shot eight times in his back, twice in his stomach and several times in both of his arms on the 3800 block of I Street, authorities said.

About half a mile away, on the 3500 block of Kensington Avenue, near the Market-Frankford Line’s Tioga Station, a 31-year-old man was grazed by a bullet at around 4 p.m. Tuesday, according to police. He was hospitalized with a nonlife-threatening wound to his arm, investigators said.

Police said no arrests were made in the immediate aftermath of either shooting.
