A woman jumped into a car – with a noticeable problem – and made her getaway with another man after she shot a 43-year-old man along a busy corridor in Philadelphia’s Frankford section overnight.
Witnesses told investigators that the woman shot the man in his face, back and leg at Frankford Avenue and Margaret Street – in the shadow of SEPTA’s Market-Frankford El – around 12:30 a.m., said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.
"Upon police arrival they found a 43-year-old male laying on the sidewalk," said Small.
Medics rushed the shooting victim to Temple University Hospital where doctors listed him in stable condition.
"He is expected to survive," said Small.
After the shooting, the armed woman and a man in all dark clothing got into a gold or gray sedan with the driver’s side window covered with a plastic bag. Witnesses told police that car sped off west on Arrott Street.
Police poured over surveillance video as they searched for more clues.
