PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Police say a gunman firing into a north Philadelphia home killed a 2-year-old girl and wounded two other people a day after an 11-month-old boy was critically wounded when shots in another part of the city hit a car.
A police spokesman said the girl died at the scene after she was struck in the back of the head in a Kensington home just after 3:30 p.m. Sunday. A 33-year-old man was hit in the stomach and critically injured. The girl’s 24-year-old mother was also hit in the head and in the back and was listed in stable condition.
The boy was shot four times Saturday night in north Philadelphia’s Hunting Park neighborhood. Investigators say his stepmother drove about 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) before realizing that he had been hit.
