Police in Philadelphia are searching for a gunman who fired over two dozen shots at a mother as she sat in her car across the street from a crowded park in broad daylight.
Investigators say 32-year-old Tina Arroyo was in the driver's seat of a Honda Civic parked on the 500 block of East Louden Street Monday evening when she was killed in a hail of gunfire.
"She pulled up on this scene and within moments another vehicle pulls up and shoots her," Sgt. Eric Gripp said. "How quickly it happened and the callousness of all of it is deeply troubling." Police believe the unknown shooter opened fire from inside a white SUV with tinted windows. More than a dozen bullets tore through Arroyo's car, some hitting her in the face and chest.
