Seven people are injured after police say they were shot during a neighborhood basketball game in West Philadelphia. The incident happened shortly before 9 p.m. at 54th Street and Lansdowne Avenue in the city’s Overbrook neighborhood on Saturday night.
Police say six men and one woman between 18 and 32 years old were rushed to area hospitals in stable condition, most with wounds to their arms and legs.
One victim was shot multiple times, according to police. For a time it was believed the shooting victim count had been at eight.

Been napping for years, as said in the brief autobiography of a W. Smith, future prince of Bel-Air.

Had a LEO tell me, a lot of the time they don’t shoot to kill they shoot to maim.
Less police heat if no one dies, and the victim has a lifelong disability of varying seriousness.
Pretty sick if you ask me.
It's all fun and games until 7 homies are gunned down.

I went to a shootout at West Philly and a basketball game broke out.
I figure every time one of them is killed, it saves taxpayers $500K to one million dollars because it eliminates all the crime, the victims, all the incarcerations,
Yes, but how many survivors will need $$$ lifetime medical and support?
Here seven are injured and none killed?
And how often do the victims live in the hospital for a long period before succumbing? $$$+++
The anti-s argue that it’s the strongest justification for more “common sense gun laws.”
You get out of any urban area of any state and things are generally better and more conservative. The future make-up of America will/is urban/rural. I picked rural a long time ago. There’s a little piece of mind when you can see cars coming for miles.
Geezz!
We always just used free throws.
Just another Democratically controlled city spiraling out of control.
Shot what? Hoops? 3-pointers? Lay-ups? Free throws? Swishes?
Really. It’s gotta be hard to carry your Glock 40 in your gym short’s waistband while running up and down the court and making jumpshots.
A neighborhood requires actual neighbors.
These people merely cohabitate the same region.

IIRC that was the strategy of the Vietcong. Wound our guys knowing it’d tie up at least two soldiers and a bunch of support.
