PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Two men are dead after a shooting at a home in South Philadelphia.
Gunfire erupted around 1:35 p.m. Monday on the 1600 block of S. 10th Street.
Police say two men, who were allegedly trying to break into a home, were shot by two men inside the house.
A 33-year-old man suffered 15 gunshot wounds throughout his body, police say.
He was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital where he was pronounced dead.
The other man is believed to be between 25 and 30 years old. He suffered five gunshot wounds, police say.
He was also pronounced dead at Jefferson.
The names of the men who were killed have not been released.
"This is surprising. This neighborhood is usually very safe. It's a shock to see something like this happen. I live a block away," said John Carrozza. "It's sad. It's a sign of the times, unfortunately."
"I've been here for six years. I feel really safe. I just had my catalytic converter stolen, and I'm thinking maybe it's time to move out - for something like this to happen in the middle of the afternoon..." said Mary Grace McHale.
Police say no weapons have been recovered and no arrests have been made.
There was no immediate word on any charges in this shooting.
Glad the homeowners came out of this alright.
Five hits is decent, 15 hits is dead on .
Yeah it would probably take me like 10 shots with my bad eyesight
That’s an entire Glock .40 magazine...
Was he still coming @ him ?
After 19 ? 12 ?
10
With a reload.
Pictures?
Did it really happen?
That house is almost as dangerous as an abortion clinic.
Shoot them into the ground, whatever it takes.
That guy is glad of his "high capacity" magazine right now...
Likely that this was a drug house.
Sounds like it just got a little safer.
I agree,thanks.
Attempt @ humor.
I’m not very good.
“A 33-year-old man suffered 15 gunshot wounds throughout his body”
Wow. They usually only manage to hit a small child three blocks away.
“””Five hits is decent, 15 hits is dead on .”””
And the anti-gun politicians keep saying you do not need a gun with a magazine with 100 cartridges to shoot squirrels.
But when someone invades a house having that extra firepower comes in handy.
Ten hit average per actor for the incident.
“”””I’ve been here for six years. I feel really safe. I just had my catalytic converter stolen””””
Mary might feel that way but her car was raped.
I love feel-good news stories with a happy ending.
A better term than “into the ground” is till I stopped the threat. And never use “I shot to kill”. Is what the legal eagles tell you. Also add I was in fear for my life. Then shut down till a lawyer representing you arrives. IMO
Those two underestimated their intended target, fatally.
