A man is fighting for his life after he was shot in the head in the parking lot of a McDonald’s restaurant in Philadelphia’s Overbrook Park neighborhood. 

The 27-year-old man was inside an SUV in the parking lot of the McDonald’s on the 7500 block of City Avenue around 4:30 p.m. when an unidentified gunman opened fire.

The man was shot once in the head, causing him to crash his vehicle into another car in the drive-thru area. He was taken by police to nearby Lankenau Medical Center where he remained in extremely critical condition Wednesday, Philadelphia police said.

No arrests have been made though police said they identified the suspect. They believe the victim went to the parking lot to meet the suspect who may have been under the influence when he opened fire. No official motive, however, has been revealed.
