Over 65 shots fired on busy Philadelphia street; 6 wounded

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Two gunmen fired more than 65 rounds on a Philadelphia street, sending nighttime pedestrians on a busy block teeming with markets and restaurants scrambling for cover and injuring six people, at least one of them critically, police said Friday.

Police responded around 11:30 p.m. Thursday in the Germantown neighborhood and found a 21-year-old woman shot multiple times in the abdomen and chest and lying near dozens of spent casings. Officers rushed her to the hospital, where she was in critical condition Friday.

Five men ages 19 to 29 were taken with gunshot wounds by private vehicles to two hospitals, police said. All were expected to survive.

Officers are looking at surveillance footage, Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters late Thursday.

The injured woman, who suffered the most gunshot wounds, may have been the intended target, Small said. But the extensive crime scene — with a sea of casings on Germantown Avenue and bullets from at least two different-caliber semiautomatic weapons striking parked cars — made it difficult to be certain.

That’s OK. The Soros appointed DA says crime is not a problem.

It is getting so bad in democrat controlled cities they are going to have to put up road blocks and check each car for guns!

If they find none, they will issue you one!

Gee, I wonder how our past generations of American ancestors would handle this problem and those who continue to threaten the public this way over and over again.

I bet their solutions would work with our generation’s problem, too, the same as it did with theirs and then we could have that same level of safety, peace and tranquility again just like we used to.

There’s no need to reinvent the wheel again if you already have some wheels in the barn ready to go, so let’s go with what we know and get back to normal again.

Were the perpetrators at or near any establishment with the ‘ok corral’ moniker?

65 shots and no one killed? These gangbangers need to be sentenced to the gun range
