PORT RICHMOND (WPVI) -- A man is in critical condition after being shot in Philadelphia's Port Richmond section.

It happened along the 3000 block of Frankford Avenue at 11:30 p.m. Sunday.

Authorities say the 28-year-old victim was shot several times in the abdomen.

He then ran to a nearby takeout beer store where he was found wounded.

Witnesses at the scene tell police the gunman fled in a tan Mercury Grand Marquis.

Police were able to track down a vehicle matching that description on the 2800 block of Tulip Street.

They took the two men inside the vehicle into custody for questioning.

Police say they also recovered an important piece of evidence.

"The entire shooting was captured on private surveillance cameras," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told Action News overnight. "Those cameras clearly show the victim getting shot and then the victim running into the beer takeout store."

As of early Monday morning, no one had been arrested or charged.
