PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Dozens of shell casings were found at the scene of a triple shooting on Sunday night in South Philadelphia.

It happened just after 9 p.m. in the 1700 block of Ringgold Street.

The three people who were shot include a 30-year-old man, a 37-year-old man and a 40-year-old man.

All three were hospitalized in stable condition.

The flying bullets also struck eight homes and five vehicles.

A total of 55 shell casings from three different caliber weapons were recovered.

Police are now searching for three suspects.

Residents woke up Monday morning with damage to their property on two separate blocks.

Robert Monroe lives more than a block from the shooting.

"I was in the house watching TV and I heard shots," he said.

Several cars on his block were hit.

"I think they need to do something because it's not the first time," he said.

In June 2023, two women, a man, and a toddler were shot on the same block.

Anyone with information can call or text police at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
