Barricaded Man Critically Injured in Early Morning Philadelphia Shooting

PHILADELPHIA, PA – The Philadelphia Police Department is actively investigating an early morning shooting that critically injured a man. On Saturday, around 6:40 AM, an unidentified Black male in his 30s was dropped off at the Episcopal Campus of Temple University Hospital with a gunshot wound to his left abdomen.
