Gunmen sought in Philadelphia after firing into crowd, wounding 16-year-old and 6 others
A 16-year-old girl was among seven victims wounded in Philadelphia on Wednesday evening after gunmen opened fire on a crowd in what authorities believe was a targeted shooting.
The shooters remained on the loose after gunfire erupted around 6:15 p.m. on the 2800 block of North Bambrey Street, Philadelphia police said.
“They shot into this crowd intentionally and someone in the crowd may have been the intended target,” Philadelphia Police Inspector Scott Small told reporters at the scene.
The seven victims, ranging in age from 16 to 47, were all hospitalized and were in stable condition, FOX29 Philadelphia reported.

Small said it appeared the shots were fired from a semiautomatic weapon. Investigators believe one to three shooters exited a vehicle and began to fire into the crowd.

“It has some sort of yellow tape or plastic securing the trunk, so that information did go out over our police radio,” Small said of the vehicle. “We also found several other private surveillance cameras in the neighborhood, so hopefully these additional cameras recorded something that may help us with the shooting.”

This is in response to the recent story about not worrying about tick bites and allergies to red meat. I have been diagnosed with AGS — Alpha Gal Syndrome — which is indeed being allergic to red meat from a tick bite. Studies now are indicating that the blacklegged tick, also known as a deer tick, can carry this also.
I’m now in my third year with this allergy and the case has been medically confirmed with my VA doctor and documented with the CDC. The tick definitely originated from Vassalboro with no out-of-state travel done during this time period. I do self-checks every time out but managed to miss this one between my pinky toe and the fourth toe. I did not seek medical treatment thinking that it was a dog tick and I watched the bite site for weeks.
When in doubt, remove the tick safely and save it for the doctor’s visit.
