PHILADELPHIA - A North Philadelphia party took a violent turn when police say at least 30 shots rang out overnight, injuring three people who ran for cover inside a home.
Officers were patrolling near 10th and Thompson streets when they heard the gunfire, then saw 30 to 40 juveniles running just before 1 a.m.
Two shooting victims, a 17-year-old girl and 23-year-old man, were found inside a home on the 1300 block of 10th Street.
They were both transported to a local hospital, where she was initially listed in extremely critical condition and the man is stable.

A third victim, a 31-year-old man, walked into the hospital a short time later with three gunshot wounds to the lower body. He is also said to be stable at this time.
Police say the victims ran inside the home after a suspect(s) opened fire during a party. It is unclear if there was more than one shooter.
Eleven spent shell casing were recovered from around the home and a property across the street.
The home was struck once by gunfire, along with a vehicle struck three times.
A motive is unknown as police investigate.
This shooting comes just a day after nine people were shot, one fatally, during another party in a Philadelphia neighborhood.
