A road-rage shooting in West Philadephia shut down four SEPTA trolley lines for several hours as police investigated, officials said.

Officer Tanya Little, a police spokeswoman, said early reports indicate an exchange between two drivers began at 25th and Wolf streets in South Philadelphia. The incident culminated when one driver started shooting at the other vehicle near 40th and Baltimore streets.

One of the drivers, a suspected shooter, was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania with an injury in his right torso. He is in stable condition.

The car police believe he shot at has not been found.

Riders of Routes 11, 13, 34 and 36, both eastbound and westbound, were diverted to the Market-Frankford Line until the police vehicles blocking the trolley lines were removed.

SEPTA is not involved in the investigation.
