Police: 2 suburban men arrested in triple shooting
Police have named the two men arrested after yesterday's triple shooting in Old City, and both are from the suburbs.
They are Brandon Mooty, 28, of the unit block of Elvon Avenue in Lansdowne, and Richard Ford, 28, from 400 block of Kent Road in Upper Darby.
As the Inquirer's Kia Gregory previously reported:
Police were working club detail in the 200 block of Letitia Street about 2:30 a.m yesterday when an argument between two groups of men erupted in gunfire.
One man, 25, was shot in the abdomen and was in critical condition at Hahnemann University Hospital. Another 25-year-old was shot in the knee, and a 23-year-old sustained a shoulder wound and a graze wound to his jaw. They were reported in stable condition at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital.

Suburbanites importing their crime in to typically-safe parts of the city...see, it works both ways!— FMT
Comment removed.- Tired of hearing about ole city. Heavy drinking and drugs. What do you expect?— MsLou
Idiots with guns come in all shapes & colors, and they come from all suburbs, cities and countries. Stop making everything a race thing!- Where are all the comments about crazed sububanites being nothing more than animals ruining the city ?— nphillyguy
- The bad guys should be target pratice by the city,so when the shoot each other they wont be transported to a local hospital;but straight to the MORGUE!!! What a tax savings.— Commensense
- Anyone who considers Upper Darby a suburb, obviously has never been there.

Suburbanites are animals in an alcohol induced haze who abandoned city years ago to swell the population of townships, then come back to the city for an education and to party. The abandoned neighborhoods and factories are their legacy of quitting and moving on,just like their leader Sarah I'm too sensitive Palin.- Suburbia uh? Obviously more misinformation. Upper Darby is 69th Street and Lansdowne is right next door. Thats like saying Kensington is the suburb of Fishtown.— Barryboy
you guys are absolutely right. Places like Upper Darby, Cheltenham, Sharon Hill, Collingdale, Yeadon, Bensalem and Bristol are just extensions of city neighborhoods. They are no safer than living in some sections of the city.— hopster- this goes on everywhere, with shootings, drugs, alcohol, stop the pinpointing— neen
- Suburbanites ??? Upper Darby is just an extension of West Philly !!— TheRealDeal
- Comment removed.
- The sad part is hopster is that Cheltenham used to be one heck of a Township until of course a certain element started moving in. Cheltenham and Cederbrook Malls at one time were alot different than I would imagine they are today.— Barryboy
