Cops: Argument over woman led to quadruple shooting
The man who police said opened fire on four other men, wounding all of them, during an argument over a woman in North Philadelphia Tuesday night was arrested a little more than an hour after the shooting.
Cops said gunfire erupted on Gratz Street just north of Cumberland at 9:11 p.m., injuring four men ages 22, 27, 28 and 46. Three were shot in the legs, police said, and the fourth, the 28-year-old man, suffered a gunshot wound to the groin.
All were rushed to Temple University Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition.
Chief Inspector Scott Small said the woman the men had been fighting over was taken to be interviewed by police and help identify the shooter. He added that the shooter, a 20-year-old man who sped off in a vehicle immediately following the shooting, was apprehended a little more than an hour later at 41st and Cambridge streets in West Philly’s Belmont section.

Comment removed.- Four guys against one, this shooting is justified. Man has a right to protect himself where he stands.— Dexter
- @kelprod &Tatts Apple and Oranges, devils. The differences are the men werent killed and the shooter was ARRESTED shortly after. Not the case in the Zimmerman instance who is still a free murderer of a teen. Quite a reach, knaves.— Pharoahsmitesdevils
- @pharoahsmitesdevils. Maybe, but where's the outrage? Black leaders are making it sound that half white-half Latino vigilantes are killing off the black race. But are too cowardly to address the real problems with blacks. The odds of a white person being murdered by a black are 14x greater than a black being murder by a white. And rape is even a more dramatic discrepancy. These marches are nothing more than sheep following their racist shepards.— knicks84
