One person was killed while six others, including a 4-year-old boy, were injured in four separate shootings during a violent Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
Police say a fight led to a shooting on the 3800 block of Darien Street around 6:30 p.m.
"We found 13 spent shell casings from a semi-automatic weapon on the sidewalk and on the street," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
Lisandro Santa, 20, was struck multiple times in the body. He was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 7:11 p.m.
A 28-year-old man was shot in the buttocks and leg. He was taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition.
Witnesses told police the gunman, who was wearing a white t-shirt, fled south on Darien Street and then ran between row homes.
Around the same time, a 27-year-old man was shot several times in the torso on the 2800 block of Marshall Street, about a mile away from the scene of the first shooting. He was taken to Temple University Hospital where he is in critical but stable condition.
