Philadelphia has been struck by a spate of violent incidents early Sunday morning with reports of a fatal shooting in North Philadelphia followed closely by another disturbance in Oxford Circle. FOX29 reports that Philadelphia police arrived on the 1400 block of Kerper Street around 3:17 a.m., where they found a 43-year-old man fatally shot in the head. In a separate but potentially related incident, a woman suffered injuries to her face.

According to the FOX29 coverage, the authorities are still piecing together the events that led to the man's death and the attack on the woman.
