Shooting on the Court in Olney

A game of basketball in the Olney section of Philadelphia was disrupted by gunfire Monday night.

It all happened at the courts at the Cherashore Recreation Center at 10th and Olney.

The shooting left a 47-year-old man hospitalized with a gunshot wound to his hand and a graze wound to his stomach.

He was listed in stable condition Monday night.

Police had no immediate suspects in the shooting.

This is the same rec center where Sixers star Andre Iguodala spoke to kids two weekends ago at NBA player Mustafa Shakur’s inaugural Part of the Solution (P.O.T.S.) Community Day.
