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.

It narrowly missed her as she slept in her bed, according to authorities, who say she is "very lucky."
Police believe two semi-automatic weapons were discharged during the shooting.
However, further details, including suspect descriptions, are still unknown.
