The fatal shootings occurred in the city's Kingsessing, Kensington, and Wynnefield sections, police said.
Three men were killed in separate shootings across Philadelphia on Friday that left three other people wounded, police said.
About 7:40 p.m., a 31-year-old man was shot multiple times outside on the 2200 block of Bryn Mawr Avenue in Wynnefield. He was taken by police to Lankenau Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 8:04 p.m.
About 5:25 p.m., during a triple shooting on the 5400 block of Chester Avenue in the Kingsessing section of Southwest Philadelphia, a 20-year-old man was shot in the neck and back. Police said he was taken by private vehicle to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 5:51 p.m.
In that same case, a 33-year-old man was shot twice in the leg and was taken by private vehicle to Penn Presbyterian, where he was listed in stable condition, police said. And a 15-year-old boy was taken by police to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he was listed in stable condition with a gunshot wound to the buttocks.
Earlier, just after 4:30 p.m., two men were shot inside a residence on the 2300 block of East Harold Street in Kensington. Police said one of the victims, who was 20 and shot in the head and neck, was taken by medics to Temple University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 5:06 p.m.
A 19-year-old shot in the left leg was taken by police to Temple, where he was listed in critical but stable condition.
In the Bryn Mawr Avenue shooting, a gym window at the Dane apartment complex across the street was shattered by a stray bullet, management told residents in an email Friday night. No one at the Dane was injured, management said, stressing to the residents of the 231-unit complex that their well-being is “our top priority.”
“We are working closely with law enforcement to ensure that all necessary measures are in place to maintain a secure environment for everyone,” it said. The shooting victim was not a Dane resident, management said in another email Saturday morning.
Police reported no arrests in any of the cases.
