The incident reportedly stemmed from a parking dispute between a delivery driver and another driver, FOX29 reported. The delivery driver was double parked next to another driver who was blocked in to his space, leading to an argument and a fist fight. The driver whose car was blocked in drew a gun and opened fire at the delivery driver, according to the report.
The delivery driver was shot in the back, chin and neck and was taken to Thomas Jefferson University Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.
Police said a weapon was recovered at the scene, but no arrests have been made. An investigation is ongoing.
