PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia began the New Year with more violence as at least eight separate shootings erupted in stark contrast to the city's 2023 celebrations.
The first shooting of the year was sparked by a domestic dispute in the city's Frankford section just an hour after the ball dropped. Police say a man was shot twice by the woman he was attacking at the time.
Several more shootings rang out over the next few hours as at least five more victims were struck by gunfire, including an 87-year-old woman. They are all said to be in stable condition.
