PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are investigating a shooting in the city's Francisville section that has left a 58-year-old man in critical condition.

It happened around 11:20 p.m. Tuesday near the intersection of North 16th and Ogden streets.

Police said the man was standing outside of a house talking to a friend when a car pulled up and someone began firing shots.

The man was hit in the back. He was taken to Temple University Hospital by police.
