Streets, vehicles and evens homes were left riddled with bullets after another night of deadly violence terrorized Philadelphia residents in two separate neighborhoods.

Police say a double shooting, then triple shooting erupted just hours apart Thursday killing 2 people and injuring another three.

Officers responded to the first shooting to find a 19-year-old fatally shot five times at the intersection of 3rd and Montrose streets around 5:30 p.m.

A second victim, also 19 years old, arrived at a local hospital with one gunshot wound to the leg. He is in stable condition.

More than 75 shots were fired, striking four vehicles and five homes in what police described as the "quieter" Queen Village neighborhood. 

Police say the vehicles were unattended, but adults and children were inside the homes when bullets came through the windows.
