Woman Injured After Bullets Fly Into Olney Home
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) - Bullets flew into a home in Olney, injuring a woman who was at the window at the time. Police had previously reported that she was sleeping. It happened around 1:30 a.m. Friday on the 4900 block of North Second Street.
Police say about a dozen shots were fired, including nine that struck the home.
"It appears that the shooter or shooters were targeting this house because it is hit at least nine times by gunfire," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
The woman was taken to the hospital and is in stable condition. She suffered a graze wound that needed stitches, and her eyes needed flushing for glass, police say.
No one else in the home was injured.
