Mother, daughter found shot to death inside Philadelphia home

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are investigating after a woman and her mother were found shot to death in their beds.

Police were called to the 4300 block of Palmetto Street around 7:30 a.m. Monday morning for reports of a shooting.

Investigators found a 25-year-old woman and her 55-year-old mother shot to death in their beds.
