PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Police are trying to determine if a crash is related to a nearby quadruple shooting in the Kensington section of Philadelphia.

The shooting happened just before 12:30 a.m. Friday at Willard and Shelbourne streets.

Police say four people were shot.

A 30-year-old male suffered gunshot wound to the ankle.

A 43-year-old male was shot in the left foot.

An 18-year-old female suffered a gunshot wound to the left foot and a graze wound to the back.

A 29-year-old Hispanic male was shot in the right hand and left ankle.

All were taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition.

Thirteen spent shell casings were found at the scene, police say.

Around the same time, a Buick SUV jumped the curb one block away at Westmoreland and Shelbourne streets.

It struck a house and two parked unattended vehicles.

Police say the SUV was stolen in New Jersey in September.

Two people were seen fleeing from the SUV.

Police are not sure if they were involved in the shooting or were just running away because they heard gunshots.
