Shootings in Philadelphia Friday night leave 4 injured including 12-year-old girl, police say
Three separate shooting incidents in North Philadelphia left four people, including a 12-year-old girl, injured Friday night, police said. The first incident happened around 9:20 p.m. outside a corner store at 27th Street and Montgomery Avenue, Philadelphia police Inspector D F Pace said. When officers arrived to reports of gunshots, they found a man and rushed him to Temple University Hospital, where he was "fighting for his life" as of early Saturday morning. Pace said surveillance video showed the victim was talking to a group of five or six men when three of them opened fire at very close range. They then fled in an unknown direction. 12-year-old girl hit by stray bullet in Philadelphia Less than half an hour later at 9:45 p.m., police were called to the 900 block of West Susquehanna Avenue for a report of a 12-year-old girl who had been shot. Police learned the girl was taken by her mother to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children after being shot in the back. Police located a scene and recovered shell casings from at least two different guns: a handgun, as well as a rifle. Pace said it appears that the girl was not the intended target. She is now listed in stable condition. 2 women hospitalized after gunshots at possible "pop-up party" About one hour later around 11 p.m. officers were called to the 2300 block of North 18th Street and found an 18-year-old woman who had been shot once in the stomach. She was taken to Temple Hospital in stable condition. A short time later, someone else drove a 21-year-old woman to Temple Hospital and officers learned she had been shot in the face at the same location as the younger woman. She is also stable. Pace said police believe this incident stemmed from a "pop-up party" with a large crowd of juveniles and young adults. Pace said there have been no arrests in any of these incidents, but investigators continue to comb through surveillance video as they gather evidence. Anyone who has any information on any of these shootings is asked to contact the Philadelphia Police Department.

Search for suspect continues after 12-year-old girl abducted, sexually assaulted: police
The Brief Philadelphia police are still searching for the suspect who stole a car with a 12-year-old girl sleeping in the backseat and abducted and sexually assaulted her. The mom of the young girl left the car running while she grabbed a cheesesteak at Max's Steaks in Hunting Park. A manager at the restaurant is speaking out about the dangers of the incident. PHILADELPHIA - Philadelphia police are actively searching for the suspect who stole a car and subsequently sexually assaulted a 12-year-old girl who was sleeping in the backseat. The incident occurred while her mother was inside Max's Steaks, located at the corner of Germantown and Erie Avenues, purchasing a cheesesteak. What we know The stolen vehicle, a Ford Taurus, has been recovered, but the suspect remains at large. Surveillance footage from Max's Steaks captured the moment the car was taken. The 12-year-old girl was assaulted and then left out of the car approximately half a mile away at Broad Street and Roosevelt Boulevard. Police found her just 23 minutes after the initial report of the car theft. What they're saying Mike, the manager of Max's Steaks, expressed disbelief over the incident. "Do a lot of customers leave their car running out here?" asked FOX 29's Steve Keeley. "No, no, it's unheard of. It wasn't like the car was double parked out here; it was parked on a side street," Mike responded. He advised caution to others. "Anytime I hear about a little girl in the back of a car, whether she's asleep or not, turn the car off, crack a window, turn the car off. It's that simple. What else can I say besides that? No reason to leave the car running. This is still Philadelphia," he continued. The community is deeply affected by the crime. Mike shared, "The whole neighborhood is upset. It's not anything accepted by anyone from around here ever. We take pride. We have a nice business, always try to show love to our customers. That's just painful, it really is painful." What's next Philadelphia police have obtained video footage from Max's Steaks and have recovered the stolen Ford Taurus six miles away in West Philadelphia. The Special Victims Unit and forensic detectives are working to gather fingerprint and DNA evidence to identify the suspect responsible for the assault and theft. The community is hopeful for justice. Mike stated, "I hope SVU finds out who did it and they prosecute the hell out of him."
