Cops investigate triple shooting in Southwest Philadelphia

POSTED: Wednesday, June 27, 2012, 10:37 PM

Around the same time that two people, including a pregnant woman, were wounded in a shooting in North Philadelphia Wednesday night, there more people were shot in an unrelated incident in Southwest Philadelphia, according to cops.

Three men suffered non-life-threatening injuries when they were shot at 60th and Reinhard streets shortly before 9 p.m., police said. A 27-year-old man was hit in the left arm and taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania in a private vehicle, a 31-year-old man was hit twice in the right leg and also taken to HUP by a passing motorist and a 20-year-old man was hit in the right foot and taken to HUP in a private vehicle. All were in stable condition around 10 p.m.

Police were looking for two men who fled the scene in a gold Jeep or SUV following the shooting and were at the scene investigating around 10 p.m. It was unclear what sparked the gunfire.

    Actually Pumpkin Head, 60th & Reinhard is part Mad Max, part Mogadishu, with a little Walking Dead sprinkled in. The only solution is Delta Force, Seal Team 6, and Army Ranger insertions combined with targeted air strikes.

    Syria seems less violent that some of these areas.

    I lived in SW Philly back in the 1950's, the 5500 block of Beaumont. What was then one of Philly's nicest, safest, cleanest, prettiest areas has become an ugly, blighted cesspool of crime. I feel so sorry for the decent people who are economically trapped there. The others - the black thug culture - disgust me to no end. Get a job, get respect for yourselves and others, get rid of your addictions ... or do the rest of society a big favor and get rid of yourselves.
