When officers arrived on scene they located two men, ages 25 and 20, inside the home suffering from gunshot wounds. The 25-year-old man was shot in his right leg, and the 20-year-old man was shot in his left knee.

Both men were transported to Einstein Medical center where they were listed in stable condition.

A third victim, a 25-year-old man, was found at 77 th and Limekiln Pike, in the rear of the home, with what police originally thought was a gunshot wound. Police were trying to question the man when they noticed his injury.
