Shooting at pop-up hookah party below Temple University off-campus housing: What we know

One person is in critical condition after a double shooting occurred at an unauthorized pop-up hookah party located below a Temple University off-campus apartment complex.

PHILADELPHIA - Two people were hurt when gunfire erupted at what police described as an unauthorized pop-up hookah party beneath Temple student housing overnight Sunday.

What we know:

Officers from the Temple Police Department were called to the 2000 block of North 10th Street just before 3 a.m. for reports of a double shooting. 

Investigators say a 28-year-old man was shot in the chest and leg, and a 48-year-old was shot multiple times throughout the body. 

Both victims were taken to Temple University Hospital. The 48-year-old is in critical condition and the 28-year-old is recovering, according to police.

Temple University Public Safety released a statement to the campus community saying the two shooting victims were not affiliated with the university. 

Gunfire from the shooting caused shattered glass, and police say at least one bullet stuck the wall in the building's lobby.

One person who lives in the student housing above where the shooting broke out told FOX 29 News that there have been several loud parties in the area recently.

Students living in the housing complex described feeling unsettled by the shooting. 

"We know this isn’t the nicest area but I wasn’t expecting something to happen so close to the apartment where I’m living," said a student. "It just makes me worry for our safety as students here," said Pierce. 

Odin Sandstran, a junior at Temple University, said, "It makes me think because we go out and we stay up late on weekends and stuff like that. We don’t usually go out on weekdays but it makes me wonder what if that were to happen on the day we go out?" 

One student said, "It’s definitely a sad sight. Gun violence is taking a toll on America and definitely in Philadelphia." 

Another added, "I know crime has gone down a lot in Philadelphia but I hope that we just become a more unified community so we can help solve these issues we have." 

Police are asking anyone with information about the shooting to contact them.

What we don't know:

Authorities have not announced any arrests and have not identified a possible suspect.

A motive for the shooting is still under investigation.
