Philadelphia Police detailed, in a statement obtained by NBC10, how an SUV or large sedan approached the house and gunfire erupted from the vehicle towards the dwelling, hitting nearby parked cars and shattering the glass front door, the perpetrators left the area, one shooter running until the vehicle returned to pick him up, but not before at least 15 spent shell casings were left scattering the scene.
Authorities confirmed that two of the victims, both 23-year-old men, sustained injuries: one was shot in the right arm, and the other in the right side of his neck. Both have been admitted to the hospital and are in stable condition.
