PHILADELPHIA - Four bystanders were struck by gunfire Thursday afternoon when police say an argument between two young men led to a shootout near a Germantown Rite Aid.
Officers from the Philadelphia Police Department were called to the 100 block of Chelten Avenue around 4:30 p.m. for reports of gunfire.
Police said a 16-year-old girl and a 65-year-old woman were both shot in the chest. They were brought by police to Albert Einstein Medical Center in critical condition.
Medics rushed a 22-year-old woman to Einstein with a gunshot wound to the lower body, according to police.
A man who was shot in the hand drove himself to Roxborough Hospital, police said.
Investigators did not report any arrests and have not provided descriptions of the shooters, who they estimate to be between 15-20 years old.
"It's dangerous to work here," said Najibullah Khan, whose Halal food cart and SUV were both struck by stray gunfire. He said four people were in line when the gunfire erupted, and he ducked inside the cart for cover.
Khan said he has early regrets about moving to Philadelphia from New Hampshire to start his business.
"A couple of weeks ago the same thing happened, it was shooting here again," Khan said. "I don't want to stay here either. They are shooting all the time."
“A couple of weeks ago the same thing happened, it was shooting here again,” Khan said. “I don’t want to stay here either. They are shooting all the time.”
Philadelphia - “The Home of Brotherly Love”
“Out of control gun violence”.
More accurately:
Philadelphia - “The Home of Brotherly shove”
Mark I’ve been there just once.....for a 3 day conference. I would not go back there again. Went to see the Liberty Bell and couldn’t believe the junk on the street and smell of Urine. Further I didn’t feel safe either.
Before I even left I had colleagues explaining where to stay clear of, and watch what I say and do.
Remind me not to go there. 😀

And not just because he runs an allah snackbar.
“They are shooting all the time.”
It used to be nice. Any guesses on which demographic ruined it?
I was born in Philly and live 15 miles or so outside of it now.
15 to 20 YO.
Great description there.
I’m psychic, so I’ll give the description.
Black male, really curly hair, mumbles rap lyrics while grabbing his genitalia.
He has jeans on below his ass, and unlaced Timberland boots.
Armed and dangerous, shoot on site.
How many guesses do I get? 😀😆👍
Well, I looked at a number of articles. Not one of them provided any description other than an age range.
Just one. :)
😀🤗👍

Is 15 miles enough distance from Philly for you to feel safe?
For me yes. I’m a relatively muscular guy at 6’2” 220 and I know how to fight.
That said, I avoid places that blacks go to. (Except my gym)
It’s why I switched from basketball to volleyball.
Almost all white and half are female.
When I used to go into Philly or Chester, I would have “something” in my car.
