Man shot, critically wounded in N. Philadelphia

A 31-year-old man was shot in his face, head and shoulder as he got out of his car on Etting Street near Berks Thursday night and was hospitalized in extremely critical condition, police said.

Shots rang out on the North Philadelphia street just before 11 p.m., and police were unsure of the shooter’s motive early Friday morning.

There were no shell casings on the scene, and a witness was taken to speak with police in the Central Detective Division, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.

A description of the suspect was not immediately available.

No arrests were made.

Poor guy--out in North PHL at night--bad idea. Not dead, yet so no Nutter $20K bounty to the "witness"--So Mr. Mayor, how many murders has your bounty prevented, solved-seems like the Murder/Violent Crime rate is increasing---stay out of Phillie at night. Watch out in the fringe areas during the day too.

No motive, no description, no arrest. This means no witnesses. Now, wonder why criminals are convinced they can get away with murder.

I hope the witness doesn't get capped later this week, as well.

hey too-black, do you know what i hope? i hope half the black people in this country kill a black person today, then repeat that process every day until there is one left, how does that sound to you?
then i hope all the white child molesters follow suit, then we could take the last two remaining animals and put them in a cage to fight to the death, then charge the winner with murder and send him to the electric chair.
KEEP HOPE ALIVE!!!

Over three hundred dead from this particular "community" last year. They are well on track for over that this year... and its not even summer yet. There is no hope.
