1 Killed, 1 Critically Injured At Philadelphia Playground
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police say one man was killed and another critically injured in a shooting at a northeast Philadelphia playground, one of three homicides in the city.
Officers responded at about 10:30 p.m. Friday to the shooting in the Frankford section and found a 24-year-old man with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead, and a 27-year-old man was taken to a hospital with gunshot wounds to the back and abdomen.
At about the same time in northwest Philadelphia, an 18-year-old man was found on the street with multiple gunshot wounds and pronounced dead minutes later.
Just after 2 p.m. Friday in west Kensington in north Philadelphia, a 52-year-old reportedly shot as he was on his way to his car and died at a hospital.
Two other men were injured in stabbings.
