PHILADELPHIA (CBS) --- A man suffering from gunshot wounds was able to drive himself to a police headquarters in Southwest Philadelphia early this morning.
Police say a 12th District Sergeant walking out of police headquarters spotted a Chevy sedan with no lights on driving erratically just before 1:30am Tuesday morning.
When the car stopped, the 22-year-old driver told police he had been shot while driving his car near 65th Street and Paschall Avenue.
"Halfway between this location... and the hospital, the victim became unconscious," said Chief Inspector Scott Small. Police rushed him to an area hospital in extremely critical condition. He immediately went into surgery.
Police say they are interviewing an eyewitness to the shooting, and that several surveillance cameras are set up in the area.
There's no word on a suspect, but police believe the shooter was driving in a black or dark-colored Dodge Charger.
