A gunman shot a man and two women, including a mother who was carrying her baby, in Philadelphia late Monday afternoon.
Police say a 32-year-old woman whose 10-month-old son was strapped to her, a 61-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were all on 18th and Wharton streets around 4:30 p.m. Monday when a gunman opened fire.
The 32-year-old woman was struck in the leg, the 61-year-old woman several times in the right leg and the 40-year-old man in the left leg. The 10-month-old baby was not injured during the shooting. All three victims were taken to Presbyterian Hospital. The 32-year-old woman and 40-year-old man were both treated and released. The 61-year-old woman is currently in stable condition.
Police say the gunman fired at least 17 shots from a semiautomatic weapon. They're unsure whether or not the three victims were intended targets.
Police also say a 32-year-old man suffering from a broken toe was spotted running from the scene after the shooting. The man had a weapon in his possession and was taken into custody for questioning, according to investigators. No charges have been filed however.
