1 dead, 1 critically injured after shooting, crash in Rhawnhurst

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia police are investigating after two men were shot inside a car on Sunday night.

A man was killed and another remains in extremely critical condition after both were shot in the head around 8 p.m. on the 8300 block of Bustleton Avenue in the city's Rhawnhurst neighborhood.

The victims, identified as being in their 20s, were found inside a dark-colored Nissan Altima that crashed into a fire hydrant and a utility pole on the corner of Bustleton and Strahle Street, near Castor Avenue.

The man killed was pronounced dead at the scene. The other was rushed to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital in extremely critical condition.

Police believe the victims were shot from the driver's side of the car and got into an earlier crash, but continued down Bustleton before slamming into the hydrant.

"We don't know where this shooting occurred. It didn't occur here clearly. We have been going up and down Bustleton trying to find some sort of a crime scene or spent shell casings. We have been unsuccessful thus far," Philadelphia Police Inspector D.F. Pace said.

Police are also trying to piece together how another shooting played out in the city's Tioga-Nicetown section.

It happened around 9:30 p.m. along the 3700 block of North 15th Street.

A 61-year-old man was shot in the chest and hip after bullets went flying through the front window of his home around 9:30 p.m.

The bullets were fired from the street but police aren't sure yet whether the victim was struck by stray gunfire or not.

He was rushed to Temple University Hospital in critical condition.

Then there was the Saturday night shooting in Kensington where 9 people were shot.

Officers were nearby when police say multiple shooters got out of a black vehicle and fired around 40 shots at the corner of Kensington and Allegheny avenues.

One of the nine victims remains in critical condition.
