A shooting occurred in North Philadelphia on Tuesday night following a dispute over improperly placed rubbish. Police responded to the scene on the 2900 block of North Hicks Street near Indiana Avenue around 10 p.m. and found a 30-year-old man with gunshot wounds to his torso and legs. He was taken to Temple University Hospital, where he is in critical but stable condition, as stated by 6abc Action News.

Investigators are looking into a shooting that may have been caused by a dispute between neighbors. A woman, 37, and her 17-year-old son are being questioned. The man involved is believed to have threatened them with a screwdriver before being shot. Police are trying to figure out if the shooting was justified, as reported by CBS News Philadelphia.

A disagreement over trash placement turned violent when the shooter fired through the front door of a home. "It appears that the door was closed and the shooter shot through the door. We have four shell casings out on the street on the 2900 block of North Hicks right in front of the door of the person who was shot," said Inspector D.F. Pace, according to 6abc Action News. Two guns were found at the scene, but no charges have been filed as police investigate the incident.
