Stray gunfire hits woman crossing street, narrowly misses sleeping woman in Philly home

PHILADELPHIA - Two women were caught in the crossfire after a shooting erupted at an intersection in North Philadelphia early Wednesday morning.

The first victim, a 35-year-old woman, was found collapsed in the middle of the road at 6th Street and Lehigh Avenue around 2 a.m.

She was rushed to the hospital with a gunshot wound to the leg, and is said to be in stable condition.

Police say cameras captured the moment the woman was struck by a stray bullet just half a block away, where 19 spent shell casings were found.

Police believe two semi-automatic weapons were discharged during the shooting.

However, further details, including suspect descriptions, are still unknown.
