Police tell Action News a man working as a delivery driver was shot in the chest while inside his vehicle.
He was taken to Temple University Hospital by police. He is currently listed in critical condition.
"I just heard about six shots and then a pause and then another six shots," recalled resident Brett Wagner.
"Sad to say but it's normal. This is what it is. This is Philadelphia, they do this every day," added resident Milan Toliber.
Police believe the victim was working for Grubhub and was dropping off food in the area.
Grubhub could not confirm if it was one of their drivers but did release a statement saying, "Our thoughts are with the driver and his loved ones after today's shocking incident. We have offered our assistance to Philadelphia local law enforcement, and are currently working to identify whether this was one of our delivery partners."
Authorities believe robbery may be the motive.
No arrests have been made.
