Man Shot the Back Along Philadelphia Street

Gunfire rang out along a Point Breeze Street Saturday evening leaving a man shot in the back.

Philadelphia Police officers rushed to the scene along the 1700 block of Federal Street shortly after 7 p.m. only to find that a private car had already rushed the victim to Methodist hospital where doctors listed the 22-year-old in stable condition, said investigators.

People on the block said they heard multiple shots ring out.

"I'm thinking somebody was shooting at me," said Reginald Moore who ducked when he heard the shots.

Police didn’t immediately make any arrests.
