Philadelphia police are investigating the double shooting after two victims told investigators a suspect got out of a car and began shooting into a crowd of people early Saturday morning.
Two people were injured after a gunman opened fire into a group of people in North Philadelphia, according to authorities. Officers with the 22nd district responded to a report of a shooting on the 1800 block of W. Diamond Street, according to police. According to police, a 19-year-old woman and a 30-year-old man suffered from gunshot wounds.
Both say they were standing on the street when a car, possibly orange or red in color, stopped in the street and let out a passenger, authorities say. Police say the victims told investigators the passenger who exited the car had a gun and began firing into the crowd of people standing at the location.
The suspect got back into the car before it drove westbound on Diamond Street, according to investigators. Both injured victims were transported to the hospital where the woman, who was shot in the foot, is in stable condition. The man sustained a gunshot wound to the abdomen and he is in critical condition.
