PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are taking a close look at surveillance video as they search for the gunman in a double shooting.

He is in critical condition but is expected to survive.

Investigators said a 31-year-old man was shot in the leg and is in stable condition.

Police also found a Taser at the scene.

There have been no arrests made.
