PHILADELPHIA - Two weeks ago, a mother and her two young children were the target of a barrage of gunfire in West Philadelphia.
The attack left the young mother in a coma and now, her family is pleading for the gun violence to end. On July 13th, police say they responded to Creighton Street and Wyalusing Avenue where multiple shots were fired.
Authorities say four people suffered gunshot wounds, including three people who were sitting in a car as gunfire erupted. Police say 26-year-old, Briana Rideout suffered a gunshot wound to her head as she was sitting in the passenger's seat of a car.
The driver of the car, Rideout's cousin, suffered a gunshot wound to her lower back, according to authorities. Rideout's two children were in the back seat of the car when at least 10 shots were fired.
