Drive-by shooting in Philadelphia violates 2 people in separate apartments in the Howard Street in Kensington

Philadelphia (WPVI) – The police in Philadelphia examined a drive-by shootout in which two people were wounded in their houses.

The shooter fell on Monday around 8:30 p.m. in the 2600 block of the Howard Street in the city's Kensington Section.

According to Chief Inspector Scott Small, a 36-year-old woman and a 38-year-old man saw away in separate apartments when someone started to open the fire outside.

One of the balls went through a window and drywall and hit the 36-year-old woman in her shoulder, while she was in her living room on the first floor, the police said.

It was taken to a hospital in a stable state.

Little said, four children between the ages of 5 and 15 were at home with the woman, but they were not injured.

The second victim was in his living room and also looked away when another ball pierced the window and hit it in the head according to Small.

The police say that the man was hospitalized in a critical condition.

“Very unusual when two victims sit in two separate apartments and are hit by shots through the window or through the drywall force,” said Small.

The investigators say that a witness reported to see a possibly dark -colored SUV and open the fire.

No arrests were made. The officials check near cameras to develop a suspicious description.

Everyone with information is asked to call the police under 215-686 tips.
