Shooting in South Philadelphia

A 30-year-old man was shot at McKean and Dorrance Streets around 6 p.m. The victim was taken to University of Pennsylvania Hospital and was in stable condition shortly after 7 p.m.

More violence has broken out in South Philadelphia this evening, police spokesman Lt. Frank Vanore said.

A 30-year-old man was shot at McKean and Dorrance Streets around 6 p.m. The victim was taken to University of Pennsylvania Hospital and was in stable condition shortly after 7 p.m.

Police are still looking for the shooter.

The shooting follows a violent weekend for the neighborhood, in which 17-year-old Azzim Dukes was shot and killed at 19th and Snyder Streets around midnight Sunday. During a vigil for the teenager last night, shots rang out in the street, but no one was injured, Vanore said.

"They've been having some problems in that neighborhood," he said.
