Two men were shot while waiting in their car at a red light in Philadelphia's University City neighborhood when two other men -- one carrying a rifle -- jumped out of their vehicle and began shooting.
The shooting just before midnight at 38th and Chestnut streets -- in the shadow of the University of Pennsylvania's campus -- was one of at least three shootings overnight in the city that left at least four people hurt.
In the University City shooting, the gunmen carried a rifle and a handgun, police said. They fired at least 15 shots before hopping back in their vehicle and driving off.
The injured driver managed to drive to a nearby hospital where he and the other man -- they are both in their 30s -- were treated in stable condition, Philadelphia police said.

A police officer at a construction site down the road was first to respond as construction workers ducked for cover, investigators said. Police had the roads blocked off for a little while early Tuesday as they searched for clues and video.
Also overnight, a man was shot several times near Germantown and Windrum avenues, which is on the border of several neighborhoods. He wound up later being treated in critical condition at a hospital, police said.
Stray bullets from that shooting went into windows at the nearby NAACP office and the office of Democratic State Sen. Sharif Street. Police found a gun in a nearby alley.
