A man was killed and another man was wounded during a double shooting at SEPTA's Arnott Transportation Center in Frankford on Monday night, according to Philadelphia police.
One man was killed and another injured in a double shooting at SEPTA's Arrott Transportation Center in Frankford on Monday night, police said.
The shooting took place at 4:49 p.m. at Griscom and Arrott Streets, police said. One man was shot in the chest and another once in the back and twice in the leg.
The man who was shot in the chest was transported to Temple University Hospital and pronounced dead at 5:17 p.m. The other man was taken to Temple Hospital in a private vehicle and is in stable condition, police said.
Police have not made any arrests or revealed a motive, but they recovered a gun at the scene. SEPTA is aware of the shooting, officials said, but hasn't released any other information.
Arrott Transportation Center includes a bus terminal and a stop on the Market-Frankford Line.
The shooting follows a string of incidents on or around SEPTA vehicles, including the March 6 mass shooting at a bus stop in Burholme. Eight teens injured were injured in that daytime shooting, and five people have been charged.
That shooting was the fourth in four days. On March 3, a man was fatally shot when he got off a bus in Oxford Circle. On March 4, a teenager was killed and four others were injured after someone opened fire on a SEPTA bus in Ogontz. The next day, a man was fatally shot on a SEPTA bus in South Philly.
Police have said the March 4 and March 6 shootings may be connected.
