PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Three people, including a teenager, had to be rushed to the hospital after a shooting in North Philadelphia.

The incident happened just before 1:30 a.m. Sunday on the 1900 block of Diamond Street near Temple University, police said.

Investigators believe the shooting stemmed from a house party that got out of control.

Philadelphia police heard multiple gunshots and saw people running from the house after they say someone shot up the house.

Three teens, ages 15, 17 and 18, were shot while at the party. The 17-year-old was taken to the hospital in critical condition after being shot in the head and arm.

Two other people were injured by flying glass.

Police are also investigating another weekend incident that occurred on Temple's campus. Temple police say it was advertised as a meet-up on social media and then got out of hand.

At least seven teenagers have been cited for disorderly conduct after chaos broke out as hundreds gathered near campus. Police say nearly 500 people finally fled the area when someone fired shots into the air. Police are now searching for that gunman.

University officials said they don't believe any students were involved in either incident.
