PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A double shooting in North Philadelphia left one woman dead and another in critical condition.

The incident happened shortly before 9:30 p.m. Friday on the 2400 block of North Marshall Street.

Police say the gunman fired about eight shots into a home on the block, hitting a 24-year-old woman twice. She was taken to an area hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

A woman next door was also found to be stabbed, but police say she refused treatment.

According to Inspector DF Pace, a third victim, identified as a 41-year-old woman, was found a block away suffering from a gunshot wound to the chest. She is hospitalized in critical condition.

The suspect was only described as a man dressed in all black. Officers are scouring the area for any clues.
