A man, 31, was shot twice in the thigh and taken to Temple Hospital in stable condition. A woman, 33, was shot in the lower abdomen and buttock and is in critical condition.

Two men, aged 36 and 37, were shot in the chest. One was pronounced dead at the scene and the second was pronounced at Temple a short time later.
