Security guard wounded in Feltonville shootout

A security guard was wounded in an overnight shootout outside a bar in Philadelphia's Feltonville section.

The incident happened about 2 a.m. Thursday outside a corner bar at Front Street and Wyoming Avenue, police said.

The guard, who had been working at the bar, saw a man firing a gun as he left the business, Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters.

The security guard returned fire, and both men fired several shots.

The guard was struck in his right leg, Small said, and taken to a hospital.

The other man then got into a car that fled, but was ditched nearby. He remains at large.

It wasn't known whether the shooter and two other people who were in the 2015 Chevrolet Malibu, a driver and another passenger, got into another vehicle or fled on foot.

Further details about the shooting weren't available.
