A Philadelphia man was shot twice while he wrestled a gun away from a would-be robber and shot a second suspect who charged him at gunpoint on Monday afternoon, authorities said.
A pair of quadruple shootings in Philadelphia overnight has left six people in critical condition, including four teenagers who were targeted at an apartment complex where 21 shell casings were found, police say.
In the second attack, a car with two 20-year-old women and two children inside was found riddled with at least 10 bullets, leaving both adults in critical condition and a 2-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the leg, Fox29 Philadelphia reports.
