KINGSESSING (WPVI) -- A 43-year-old man is recovering after being shot in the stomach late Thursday night.

Gunfire erupted in the Kingsessing section of Philadelphia at 10:18 p.m.

Responding officers entered the property and found the victim in the second-floor bedroom suffering from a gunshot wound to his stomach.

Police say the victim was taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center where he underwent surgery and is listed in critical, but stable condition.

A search warrant was conducted at the victim's residence where multiple semi-automatic rifles, magazines and a bullet-proof vest were recovered.
