Shootings, stabbings: A bloody Thanksgiving in Philly

Thanksgiving turned bloody for some city residents, with one man slain in Mill Creek, two children playing with a gun seriously injured in Fairhill and four people hospitalized after a family fracas in East Germantown.

As reported in yesterday's paper, Coy Sharpe, 50, of Parrish Street near 48th, was found shot in the stomach shortly before 4 a.m. on Parrish Street near Ramsey, police said. He was pronounced dead at the scene. Police knew of no and had no suspects.

At 9:20 p.m., an 11-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy were seriously injured when a gun discharged as they played with it inside a home on Marshall Street near Cumberland, police said.

The boy, who was shot once in the face, was in stable condition at Episcopal Hospital yesterday, while the girl, shot in the left wrist, was treated at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.

Police were seeking another teenage boy who was possibly involved in the incident.

About an hour later, three women and a man were stabbed and hospitalized with serious injuries after a family disturbance erupted inside and outside a residence on Price Street near Crittenden, police said.

The victims, whose injuries weren't believed to be life-threatening, were all taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center, police said. *
