3 people shot as stray bullets fly into homes in Northeast Philadelphia, police say
Three people were shot in Northeast Philadelphia's Tacony neighborhood Wednesday night after a fight broke out at a party, police said.
The shooting happened at the intersection of Ditman and Knorr streets around 10:12 p.m.
Police said when officers arrived at the scene, they found a 24-year-old man who had been shot in one of his legs. He was taken to a nearby hospital.
They later learned the man was walking to a nearby corner store when he was "caught in the crossfire of a fight involving several individuals," a police spokesperson wrote in an email.
Two other victims, a 28-year-old man and a 33-year-old man, later arrived at a different hospital with gunshot wounds.
Investigators believe the two older men were at a party in a home on the 6800 block of Ditman Street when someone knocked on the door and the fight broke out. At some point during that fight, someone began firing shots.
The three people who were shot were all placed in stable condition.
Bullets also hit two parked cars and went through the windows of two houses in the area, police said. No one in the houses was injured.
Investigators found more than 30 shell casings at the scene that appear to be from two different semi-automatic weapons, police said.
So far, no arrests have been made.
