PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A landlord-tenant dispute in Philadelphia's Eastwick neighborhood led to a shooting.

Officers responded to the 7300 block of Chelwynde Avenue at 11 p.m. on Sunday.

They found a 21-year-old at the scene with a gunshot wound to the ankle and eight other shell casings at the scene.

The man was taken to Presbyterian Hospital and is in stable condition.
