It happened around 10:30 p.m. near Creighton Street and Wyalusing Avenue in West Philadelphia. According to Chief Inspector Scott Small, officers found a 26-year-old man lying on the pavement on Creighton Street suffering from a gunshot wound to the leg. He was rushed to a local hospital and was treated in critical condition. A short distance down the block near 51st Street and Wyalusing Avenue, police found three additional victims inside a bullet-riddled Kia SUV. “We don’t know if someone intentionally shot at this vehicle or if it was hit by stray fire, but the vehicle clearly has 10 bullet holes,” Small said. According to police, two women in their 20s are both in critical condition after being shot. One was shot in the head and another in the back. A 2-year-old boy and a 6-year-old boy were in the back seat of the SUV at the time of the shooting, but police said only the 2-year-old was shot in the leg. He was rushed to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where he is listed in stable condition. It’s not yet clear what sparked the shooting, but police say the shooting likely happened near Creighton Street. Police believe all of the shooting victims may be related. No arrests have been made.
