A 24-year-old woman was in critical condition Sunday night and two men were hospitalized with gunshot wounds after they were shot during what police say may have been a domestic dispute in Cobbs Creek.

Cops said gunfire erupted outside on Irving Street near 61st just before 9 p.m. The woman, struck in the face by gunfire, was rushed to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania by police. She was listed in critical condition.

A 19-year-old man was also shot several times in both of his shoulders. He was dropped off at HUP in a private auto that fled the area before police arrived, according to investigators. That man was also listed in critical condition and was being held as a prisoner Sunday night as police investigated the possibility that he may have initiated the shooting.

A 25-year-old man was also hit in the forearm, cops said. He was taken to HUP and listed in stable condition.

One witness was taken to speak with investigators, police said.
