Two men were shot while sitting in a car in Hartranft Sunday night, police said.

The men, who a sergeant in the East Detective Division said are in their 20s, were both wounded by the same bullet near 7th and Cumberland streets. One man was hit in the nose, and the other in the wrist, police said.

The men were taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition and were expected to be treated and released.

Police were unsure of what motivated the shooting and had not made any arrests as of 10:45 p.m. Sunday.

    I was just thinking that -- is that North Philly Hartranft or South Philly's Hartranft?
