At least two gunmen stepped out of a vehicle on the 3200 block of G Street and fired 25 shot, injuring four people, police say. A 20-year-old man is in critical condition.
Four people were shot in Kensington on Tuesday night after at least two gunmen exited a car and opened fire on the 3200 block of G Street.
The gunmen drove away in their dark-colored sedan, investigators said. Police were just a block away and were able to respond quickly, NBC10 reported. Around 9:20 p.m., they found four people with gunshot wounds: two 20-year-old men, a 23-year-old man and a 40-year-old woman.
One of the 20-year-old men was shot at least six times and is in critical condition at Temple University Hospital, police said. The others were shot in their arms and legs and are in stable condition.
Police found 25 shell casings at the scene. The bullets were fired from an automatic or semi-automatic weapon, investigators said.
No arrests have been made and police do not know the motive for the shooting. They're reviewing nearby security camera footage and speaking to several witnesses who were in the area. They are searching for a four-door sedan, possibly a Toyota, last seen driving northbound on G Street.
Anyone with information on the shooting can call the police department's anonymous tip line at (215) 686-8477.
