PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Gunfire in Philadelphia's Kensington section left two men wounded, and police say the shooting may be a case of retaliation.

Police say at least 30 bullets were fired in the 100 block of West Huntingdon Street around 11 p.m. on Tuesday, sending the two men to the hospital.

A 54-year-old man suffered multiple gunshot wounds throughout his body. A 34-year-old man was also shot in the left leg.

Both were taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition.

Police say one of the men may also be a shooter.

Police believe the incident is tied to the shooting on Palethorpe Street in the city's Kensington section earlier in the day. That shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. on Tuesday and left two men wounded.

"We have one individual with a firearm chasing another individual. That's what they see in our video," said Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore.

Police said they have made an arrest in the West Huntingdon Street shooting and that a firearm was recovered.
