Police: Girl, 15, shot in head in West Philadelphia double shooting
WEST PHILADELPHIA - Police are investigating a double shooting that left a teen and man wounded while they were driving in a car in West Philadelphia.
It happened on the 6200 block of Chestnut Street around 3 p.m.
According to police, a 15-year-old girl was shot once in the left side of the head. She was taken to Presbyterian Hospital in critical condition.
A 20-year-old man was also shot in the head and is currently listed in stable condition.
"I heard bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. I knew it was gunfire. I came out to take a look," said Bruce Henry.
The car he saw was dotted with bullet holes.
"That blue car drifted over and hit that parked car and then waited a couple of minutes then the cops started coming," said Henry.
Police believe this was a targeted shooting and the gunmen fired 19 shots when the car pulled out of the gas station turning onto Chestnut. The driver crashed into a parked car after he was shot.
FOX 29's Shawnette Wilson reports the two victims are possibly siblings.
