Man Killed, 2 Women Critically Injured In Kensington Triple Shooting

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Three people were gunned down in Philadelphia's Kensington section overnight. Police are now on the hunt for the shooter who killed one man and left two women critically injured.

Gunshots rang out just before 3 a.m. Monday on D Street and Indiana Avenue.

Police say the victims were standing near a red car when a gunman opened fire on them.

"Real-time crime cameras did capture the victims all standing around a red vehicle. At one point, you see one of the female victims actually in the red vehicle and then she exits the red vehicle and that's when the shooting occurs," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

A male victim died at the scene and two women are in critical condition. Eyewitness News was there as police rushed the victims to the hospital.

Police sources tell CBS3 they believe the male victim made a pass at a woman inside a bar and then gunshots were fired moments later.

Police say nearby surveillance cameras captured the shooting, and hopefully, that will lead them to the suspect.

"The description we have of the shooter is a male wearing a red-hooded sweatshirt, last seen running west on Indiana from D Street," said Small.

So far, there is no motive for the shooting.
