A 20-year-old woman was killed during an overnight shooting in Olney, according to police.

Philadelphia police responded to a report of a "person with a gun" in a rear driveway along the 5200 block of Westford Road around 1:40 a.m. Tuesday, where they later found the woman "leaning across the front passenger seat of a gray Nissan."

The woman, whose name has not yet been released, was shot in the left arm, back, and chest. She was pronounced dead at Albert Einstein Medical Center shortly before 2 a.m.

Nearly two dozen shots were fired in the incident, according to 6ABC, though police could not confirm that Tuesday morning. Two men were reportedly in the car when the victim was shot.
