1 Dead, 1 Critical After 37 Shots Fired

At least 37 shots were fired in a double shooting overnight leaving one victim dead and another in critical condition.

Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said the "very violent crime scene" near the intersection of Rising Sun and Wyoming avenues in the city's Feltonville neighborhood left two in critical condition. 

A 25-year-old man is dead after suffering gunshot wounds to his head, stomach and back, accoring to police.

A 26-year-old man with a gunshot wound to his chest was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital in a private car before being transported to Temple University Hospital, he said.

The shooting occurred around 2 a.m. Tuesday and involved at least three different caliber weapons, according to police.

Two semi-automatic handguns, some cash and a small amount of marijuana was found at the crime scene, Small said.

Investigators are hopeful exterior surveillance cameras on several nearby businesses will provide some clues.
