PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) -- Authorities say a slew of shootings, including several homicides, have the holiday weekend off to a violent start in Philadelphia. Police say gunfire shortly before 7 a.m. Saturday in the Hunting Park neighborhood of north Philadelphia killed a 25-year-old man and a 31-year-old man and wounded two other men listed in stable condition.

"It's what's really happening. It's real life," Luciana Ramirez, who lives in the neighborhood, said. "This is normal for me because I live here and it's becoming normal for the kids that are growing up here, but it's fixable."
