A 61-year-old woman was injured following a shooting that took place in broad daylight outside a Wells Fargo Bank in Philadelphia's Rhawnhurst neighborhood. The incident occurred just before 9 a.m. at the bank located on the 7300 block of Bustleton Avenue, a detail confirmed by both FOX 29 and CBS News Philadelphia. The victim was discovered with a gunshot wound to her thigh and was taken to a local hospital where she was listed in stable condition.
When the police arrived, they found several parking spaces cordoned off. One space had a folding chair, suggesting that someone might have been there for a while, possibly indicating the shooting happened after an event or a period of waiting, though the exact details are unclear.
