Police in Philadelphia say a man is in critical condition after being shot in Germantown Monday night.
According to Small, officers picked him up and transported him to Albert Einstein Medical Center for treatment.
The 30-year-old victim is in critical condition, Small says.
Police say they found seven spent shell casings and one live round at the scene.
Small says the spent shell casings were found very close to where the victim collapsed, meaning the shooter or shooters may have been standing in close proximity to the victim at the time of the shooting.
Several one-dollar bills were also found on the scene and police believe it is possible that the motive was a robbery.
