Double Shooting Leaves One Critically Injured after Verbal Dispute

At approximately 2:42 AM, officers from the 25th District responded to the Temple University Hospital Emergency Room following the arrival of two walk-in gunshot victims. Preliminary findings indicate that a 23-year-old female and a 27-year-old female had left a local bar around 2:30 AM and were driving to drop the older female off at home. Approximately 15 minutes into their drive, a dark-colored sedan pulled alongside the passenger side of their vehicle. Following a brief verbal exchange between the 23-year-old victim and an occupant of the sedan, a suspect inside the dark vehicle opened fire. The suspect vehicle immediately fled the scene. Realizing her passenger was unresponsive and bleeding, the driver rushed to Temple ER. The 23-year-old driver is currently listed in stable condition with a gunshot wound to her left shoulder, while the 27-year-old passenger remains in critical condition with a gunshot wound to her left eye. The motive is currently unknown, no arrests have been made, and the Shooting Investigation Group is leading the ongoing investigation.
