PHILADELPHIA - A violent weekend across Philadelphia has left ten people shot and four killed as a surge of gun violence continues to grip the city of Brotherly Love.
Overnight Friday, officers from the Philadelphia Police Department responded to two double shootings and a homicide in the parking lot of a Southwest Philadelphia Rite Aid.
The gunfire began just before midnight in Tioga-Nicetown where police say two women, 43 and 64, were injured on the 3300 block of North Uber Street.
Officers drove both women to Temple Hospital where the older victim was placed in critical condition. About an hour later, police responded to a deadly double shooting in South Philadelphia that claimed the life of a 30-year-old man.
