Police were called to a pair of unrelated shootings that erupted at Air Bnb house being used for large parties. The shootings left an 18-year-old man and a 13-year-old girl injured, according to police.

PHILADELPHIA - The Philadelphia Police Department is investigating two shootings that took place at separate Airbnb house parties in the city on Monday night.

Kensington

According to authorities, the first shooting erupted inside a property on the 2200 block of Amber Street in the Kensington section of the city around 10 p.m.

Police say responding officers found an 18-year-old man with two gunshot wounds to the abdomen. He was transported to Temple University Hospital, where he is in critical but stable condition, per police.

Law enforcement officials say officers found approximately 50 to 100 juveniles at the house, which appears to be an Airbnb rented out for a party.

Police say four spent shell casings were discovered outside the home and on Fletcher Street.

Officials say investigators are working on learning who rented the property for the party and determining who the owner is.

Brewerytown

Hours later, a shooting erupted at a house party on the 1700 block of N 29th Street in the Brewerytown section of the city just before midnight, per police.

According to investigators, responding officers arrived at the residence and saw 30 to 40 people.

After the crowd dispersed, police found a 13-year-old girl with a gunshot wound to her lower body, officials say.

The teenage girl was transported to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, while an 18-year-old who was also shot at the event arrived at a local hospital by car after being shot in the leg, police say.

According to authorities, the property is known to be an Airbnb and has no relation to the shooting at the Airbnb in Kensington.

While the Amber Street property has a valid limited lodging operator license, the North 29th Street property does not, according to Philadelphia's Department of Licenses and Inspections. Both are currently under investigation.

Airbnb released the following statement in connection to the shootings:

"We condemn this senseless gun violence, and hope that the victims make a swift recovery. Parties are banned on Airbnb, and our Safety team has taken initial action to remove the booking guests from the platform and deactivate the listings as we investigate. We are also in contact with the Philadelphia Police Department to offer our assistance with their investigation."
