PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Two men are dead after a shooting at a home in South Philadelphia.
Gunfire erupted around 1:35 p.m. Monday on the 1600 block of S. 10th Street.

"This is surprising. This neighborhood is usually very safe. It's a shock to see something like this happen. I live a block away," said John Carrozza. "It's sad. It's a sign of the times, unfortunately."
"I've been here for six years. I feel really safe. I just had my catalytic converter stolen, and I'm thinking maybe it's time to move out - for something like this to happen in the middle of the afternoon..." said Mary Grace McHale.
Police say no weapons have been recovered and no arrests have been made.
There was no immediate word on any charges in this shooting.
Someone did some range time.

That guy is glad of his “high capacity” magazine right now...

And he shot up a good percentage of his ammo ‘futures.
Yeah. The City of Brotherly Love doesn't disappoint.
“Why do you think they shot him 15 times?”
‘Perhaps it was in the belief that it would make him more dead.”
Tip of the hat to True Grit.
You get a lousy feeling in your gut when hear a “click” rather than a “BANG”.
I haven't yet seen an exhaust fan attachment for a Picatinny rail.
It helps to have a crew served weapon pointed at the door.
Loud too, briefly.
“A 33-year-old man suffered 15 gunshot wounds throughout his body, police say.”
See, see that’s why magazine capacity shouldn’t be limited!😎
"Gun Violence" -- done right...
Well, obviously you haven't been over to Wildly Coyote's ACME Picatinny Fan & Rail store.
I shouldn't have to use the "/s."
Were their lungs blown out?
They were leaking.
