Woman Shot 3 Times, Man Shot in Face in Frankford

A woman was shot three times -- twice in the chest and once in the arm -- and a man suffered a gunshot wound to his face in a violent altercation in Philadelphia late Saturday night.

The shooting occurred around midnight in Philly's Frankford neighborhood, although it was unclear exactly where the crime took place, police said.

The man, who is in his 20s, was rushed to Hahnemann University Hospital, where he remains in critical condition, while the 28-year-old woman was taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center, where she is in stable condition, officials said.

Police searched two homes, one along the 1500 block of Adams Avenue and another along the 1500 block of Deal Street, as part of their investigation, authorities said.

Both houses are a short distance from Kensington and Frankford avenues.

Anyone with information about the crime is urged to contact police.
