Five people were hurt in three separate shootings Tuesday night into early Wednesday across Philadelphia.
Just after 2 a.m. Wednesday, a 21-year-old woman walked into Temple University Hospital’s Episcopal Campus with a bullet graze wound to her head, authorities said.
The victim allegedly told police that she was driving west on Huntingdon Street near 2nd Street in the Fairhill neighborhood, trailing a blue Ford sedan with tinted windows. After a few blocks, the other driver pulled over, allowing her to pass, investigators said. The Ford then followed her, and multiple people inside the car opened fire on her vehicle near the corner of Huntingdon and Lawrence streets, according to the PPD.
Officers were called at around 10:45 p.m. Tuesday to the 1500 block of N. Stillman Street in North Philadelphia, where they found an 18-year-old woman who had been shot in her arm, police said. The victim was discovered inside a white 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, authorities added.
She was taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition, law enforcement officials said. A PPD commander told reporters at the scene that investigators recovered more than 50 spent shell casings in the area.
Three people were struck when gunfire erupted at around 8 p.m. Tuesday on the 3100 block of F Street in Kensington, according to police.
Authorities said a 25-year-old man was hospitalized in critical condition with wounds to his chest, groin and leg. The other two victims — men ages 35 and 37 — were being treated for nonlife-threatening injuries.
No arrests were made in the immediate aftermath of the gun violence. Anyone with information about any of the shootings is asked to call or text the PPD tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477). Information can be shared anonymously.
Police data shows that the number of people shot this year in Philadelphia is down 24%, compared to the same date in 2025.
