Four Injured in Three North Philadelphia Shootings Including 12-Year-Old Girl

On Friday night in North Philadelphia, three separate shooting incidents resulted in four people being injured, including a 12-year-old girl who was struck by a stray bullet and is now in stable condition. The first shooting occurred near a corner store on North 27th Street, where a 25-year-old man was critically wounded after multiple shooters opened fire at close range before fleeing. Less than half an hour later, the young girl was shot on the 900 block of West Susquehanna Avenue, with police recovering shell casings from both a handgun and a rifle, indicating multiple weapons were involved. Around 11 p.m., two women, aged 18 and 20, were shot during a pop-up party on the 2300 block of North 18th Street; one was shot in the face and the other in the stomach, both currently in stable condition. Police have made no arrests and continue to review surveillance footage and gather information, urging witnesses to come forward.
