Four people are in the hospital after a shooting in Philadelphia 's Kensington neighborhood Tuesday night.
Just after 9 p.m. officers heard multiple shots fired coming from the 3200 block of G Street, Chief Police Inspector Scott Small said.Police were a block away, so they were able to respond in seconds and found four victims. Two 20-year-old men, a 23-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman. They were all transported to the hospital. One of the 20-year-old men was shot at least six times throughout the body and was placed in critical condition.Local"It's very usual for large groups to be hanging out in the area of G and Allegheny and G and Hilton where this shooting took place," Small said.
There were police real-time crime cameras that captured the shooting. The vehicle the shooters were in, a four-door dark colored Sedan or Toyota, could be seen traveling on Hilton Street before at least two people got out and started shooting before getting back in.There were also multiple businesses in the area with external cameras that police were reviewing as well as many witnesses in the area at the time, Small said.
