Police are investigating a pair of separate overnight shootings that left a man and a woman hospitalized, officials said.
In the earlier shooting, police responded to the area of 58th Street and Girard Avenue in West Philly at about 7:40 p.m. on Monday on a report of a person with a gun.
But, they found no evidence of a shooting at that location.
However, later, at about 8 p.m., officers learned a 20-year-old man arrived by private vehicle to a nearby hospital after he had been shot in the leg.
The man was listed in stable condition, officials said.
Then, early Tuesday, a woman was hospitalized after she was shot twice in the buttocks in an incident that happened in Kensington, police said.
According to police, officers responding to a report of a person with a gun on the 2700 block of Kensington Avenue in Kensington found a 37-year-old woman after she had been shot twice in the buttocks.
This victim was taken to a nearby hospital where she was listed in stable condition.
No arrests have been made in either of these shooting instances and no weapons were recovered by investigators.
But, investigations into these shootings are ongoing.
The Philadelphia Police Department is asking anyone who may have information on either of these shootings to contact the department’s tip line at 215-686-TIPS (8477).
