FRANKFORD - Authorities say nearly 10 shots were fired at a man who was gunned down late Tuesday night near an apartment building in Frankford.
Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters that an officer was near the Whitehall Homes on Tackawanna Street around 11 p.m. when he heard gunfire.
The officer found a 45-year-old man lying on a walkway with gunshot wounds to the head, chest and back, according to Small. Police drove the man to Temple Hospital where he died.
