A man was killed and two other people were wounded when shots were fired outside a bar early Sunday morning in West Philadelphia, investigators said.
Officers responded just after 1:30 a.m. to 53rd and Arch streets, where they found a 30-year-old man laying on the street with multiple gunshot wounds throughout his body, according to police. He was rushed to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he died a short time later.
Two other gunshot victims arrived at local hospitals in private vehicles – a 30-year-old man who had been shot in the abdomen and a 35-year-old woman struck in the leg, authorities said. Both are expected to survive, police noted.
PPD inspector D.F. Pace reportedly told NBC10 and CBS3 that the man who was killed worked as a security guard at the bar. He has not been publicly identified, and the circumstances leading up to the shooting were not clear Sunday.
No one was arrested in the immediate aftermath of the incident. Anyone with information is asked to contact the police Homicide Unit at 215-686-3334 or call or text 215-686-TIPS (8477).
