Two people were shot just before 4:45 a.m. Sunday inside a speakeasy that was operating in a property on 58th Street, just north of Market Street, in West Philadelphia, investigators said.
Police said a man was discovered with a gunshot wound to his back, while a woman had been shot multiple times in her torso. Both were in critical condition and taken in for surgery at Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, according to authorities.
