A 23-year-old passenger was shot in the left shoulder and was in critical but stable condition yesterday at Temple University Hospital, and another 23-year-old passenger who was shot in the right hand was treated at Temple and released.
Police yesterday had no suspects and no description of the other vehicle.
About 1:45 a.m., a 9-year-old girl and a 22-year-old woman sitting on the front porch of a Hunting Park house were hit by gunfire.
Police said that the two had "exchanged words" with a group of about five men who passed by the porch on Cayuga Street near 4th.
The men then walked about a block away before turning around and shooting at the victims, police said.
The 9-year-old, who was shot in the left leg, was taken first to Temple and then to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, where she was listed yesterday in stable condition.
The 22-year-old, shot once in the right leg, was taken to Temple and also was listed as stable, police said.

Quagmire!
Dang Amish!
Just another day in a gun-free demoncRAT controlled utopia.
Keeping it real in Philly. Yo, yo, yo - fo snizzle.
Who knew Philly came in Swiss cheese flavor?

And this in the city that played such an important role in our founding. The Framers must be rolling in their graves. I long for the country I was born in. The USA is just about dead and gone.
Man, this is making Chicago look bad. Chicago, come on, get out there and murder like we know you can!
(Isn’t it strange that guns aren’t allowed anywhere near Chicago and yet so many people somehow wind up dead on a daily basis?)
Must be this great economy!
Philly, too
DC, too
NYC, too
What could the common cause be??????

...what a mystery
Democrat voters all...
“Dang Amish!”
Sure, blame the Amish. Folks forget that a lot of the so-called Pennsylvania Dutch are actually Mennonites.
Some of those Mennonites are bad boys, too!
Nope-—Democratic libtards abound in, for example, Eugene, Oregon, Santa Barbara, California, and Burlington, Vermont and those places are nearly crime free.
and E St Louis & Memphis & New Orleans & Watts &...
So what? Are you saying those people in Philly weren’t Democrat voters or wouldn’t be if of age?
I thought crime was down.
