PHILADELPHIA - A 47-year-old woman miraculously suffered just one non-life-threatening shot after more than 30 shots were fired from a Tacony home overnight.

A barricade situation ensued when neighbors told police the shooters may still be inside.
Five people exited as a SWAT team cleared the home, however no arrests have been announced at this time.
Police say they did find ballistic evidence that shots were fired from inside the living room. The house is currently being held as a crime scene.
It is unclear if the woman or vehicle was being targeted, but police say preliminary evidence shows narcotics may have been sold from the suspected house.
