Innocent man shot when bullet fired outside goes through wall of his Philadelphia home
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- An innocent bystander was one of the victims of a triple shooting in the Strawberry Mansion section of Philadelphia.
Police say at least 28 gunshots were fired in the area of 27th and Montgomery around 9:30 p.m. Monday.
A 21-year-old man, who was sitting on the couch inside his home on Marston Street, was shot in the leg when the bullet went through the wall.
"Clearly an innocent victim struck by stray gunfire," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
He was taken to Einstein Hospital and is in stable condition.
A 25-year-old man, who was found shot in the arm and leg, was also taken to Einstein.
Police say a third victim showed up at Temple University Hospital who had been shot twice in the arm. He's also described as being in stable condition by police.
Police say the shell casings were in two groups along the highway. They're now trying to piece together what happened.
"We don't know at this time if there was some sort of shootout or if the shooter or shooters just fired at two separate locations," Small said.
Police are also checking surveillance cameras.
