Man dead, two women wounded in Kensington shooting
The gunfire erupted shortly before 3 a.m. Monday on the corner of East Indiana Avenue and D Street.
A man was killed and two women were critically wounded early Monday in a shooting on a Kensington street corner, police said.
Police said the gunfire erupted about 2:50 a.m. at Indiana Avenue and D Street.
Chief Inspector Scott Small said surveillance video showed the three victims standing around a red vehicle before the shooting. One of the women got into the vehicle, and when she got out, a man in a red hooded sweatshirt fired at least nine shots at the trio from “close proximity,” Small said.
The 31-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:59. His name was not immediately released.
The women were taken to Temple University Hospital in critical condition. Police said one woman, 31, suffered gunshot wounds to her neck, a shoulder, her right ear, and her right arm while the other victim, whose age was not provided, had been shot in her pelvis, buttocks, and left arm.
The gunman fled west on Indiana, police said. Investigators were seeking to establish a motive for the shooting.
