Philadelphia police are investigating after a 24-year-old man was shot inside his vehicle in Kensington overnight.
PHILADELPHIA - A 24-year-old man was rushed to the hospital after police say more than a dozen shots were fired from a vehicle in Kensington overnight.
Officers arrived to find the victim walking on the 2000 block of East Atlantic Street with a gunshot wound to his forehead.
He told police that he had just parked when a driver pulled up, opened fire, then drove off.
At least 12 bullet holes pierced the passenger side of the victim's vehicle.
"This 24-year-old victim who was sitting in the driver's seat is extremely lucky because 12 bullets went into that vehicle, and he was only grazed one time to his head," Chief Small said.
