Argument sparks gunfight, injuring two overnight

POSTED: Thursday, December 30, 2010, 8:35 AM

Two men are clinging to life this morning after they allegedly got into an argument and tussled over a gun in a North Philadelphia house.

The incident occurred at 1:22 a.m. this morning on 25th Street near Norris, police said. During the argument, the 46-year-old man who lives in the home allegedly shot his 44-year-old friend in the chest. The wounded man in turn tried to wrestle away the gun, which went off and struck the first man in the eye, police Spokeswoman Jillian Russell said. Both victims are in critical condition at Temple University Hospital. Charges are pending.

    Why am I not surprised that none of these comments showed one ounce of concern for human life or the lives of their family members. Excellent example of what our society has evolved into. Sad!! Sending up prayers for the gentlemen and their families.

    Because people who get up and go to a JOB everyday could care less about what these welfare-addicted, drug-addled, baby making living off the government teat pieces of human garbage do to each other. Hopefully they will both expire due to their injuries. That's why phillybadass

    If you care less why bother reading and commenting...have you ever heard if there is nothing nice to say don't say anything at all. As a black man I am well aware of the problems that plague our community so I won't sit here an and go white crime for black, but my question is do white people really care if the "hoods" get better or is it just pure entertainment to them???...Oh and before any of you ask I do have a job and I am a law abiding citizen..:)
