At least 10 people were injured in multiple incidents of violence Saturday and Sunday, in addition to a triple shooting that left three teenagers wounded in East Mount Airy.
Police said a 15-year-old boy was shot in his left forearm at around 1 p.m. Sunday at Broad Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue, in the area of Temple University’s main campus in North Philadelphia.
Officers took the teen to a nearby hospital, where he was listed in stable condition, authorities said. No one was arrested in the immediate aftermath of the incident.
Temple’s Department of Public Safety, in a social media post, said preliminary information and surveillance video indicates that a group of young people were gathered “for a religious festival” when someone opened fire.
Two men were struck when gunfire erupted just before noon Sunday on the 3300 block of Mutter Street in North Philadelphia, investigators said.
A 30-year-old man was shot in his stomach, and a 29-year-old man was hospitalized with wounds to his left knee and right thigh, authorities said. Both are expected to survive, according to the PPD.
Officers made an arrest at the scene and recovered a gun, police said, though no further information was shared Sunday.
On Saturday, just after 9:45 p.m., someone shot a 66-year-old man near 22nd and Dauphin streets in North Philadelphia, authorities said. The victim walked into Temple University Hospital with multiple wounds to his groin and his leg, and he was later listed in stable condition, according to police. No arrests were reported.
In Olney, a 44-year-old woman was in “extremely critical condition” after she was shot several times in her lower body at around 4:30 p.m. Saturday on the 400 block of W. Olney Avenue, the PPD said. Authorities said no one was apprehended in the immediate aftermath of the shooting.
Medics rushed a 39-year-old man to the hospital after he was stabbed in the chest just before 7:45 a.m. Saturday at 5th and Cambria streets in Fairhill, investigators said. The victim was taken to Temple Hospital in critical condition. No arrests have been made.
Shots were fired and two vehicles crashed early Saturday morning on I-95 Northbound between Bridge Street and Cottman Avenue in Northeast Philadelphia, according to the Pennsylvania State Police.
When troopers arrived at the scene, at around 2:30 a.m., they found a 1984 Fort Mustang and a 2009 Acura TL that had both been riddled with bullets and damage from a collision, authorities said.
The driver of the Mustang, a 21-year-old man, was shot in the head and hospitalized, said state police, who did not provide information about the conditions of the victims. A passenger in the car was being treated for crash-related injuries, investigators added.
A 26-year-old man, who was behind the wheel of the Acura, was taken to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital with a gunshot wound to his upper left leg, according to state police.
Detectives believe a third vehicle was involved in the incident and fled the scene. I-95 North was shut down for several hours while authorities investigated the shooting.
No one was immediately arrested. Anyone with information is asked to call PSP’s Troop K at 215-452-5216.
