Two people were shot Tuesday afternoon near Temple University's Health Sciences Center Campus, police said.

The shooting occurred outdoors just before 4 p.m. near Germantown and West Erie Avenues. A 68-year-old woman was shot once in the left foot, and a 22-year-old man was shot once in the neck and once in the pelvis, police said.

The woman was taken to Temple University Hospital and was in stable condition. The man — who walked to the hospital — was in critical condition, authorities said.

Temple issued an alert about the shooting, but a university spokesperson said it was "a non-Temple-related event."
