NORTH PHILADELPHIA - Authorities say a woman shot and killed while she sat on the front steps of her North Philadelphia home may have been struck by a stray bullet.
The shooting occurred around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday on the 2500 block of North 9th Street.
Authorities say the shots apparently were fired down the street from the 23-year-old woman's home, and she was struck at least one time in the head.
The woman was taken to a hospital but was pronounced dead there a short time later. Her name has not been released.
A 54-year-old man also suffered a graze wound to the shoulder. He was hospitalized in stable condition.
The shooter fled the area in a car and remains at large.
