A 28-year-old man was hospitalized after being shot in his back on 6th Street near Pike in Hunting Park Thursday night, police said.
The victim walked into a convenience store around 11:47 p.m. and when police arrived, he said two men robbed him and stole his identification card when he told them he didn’t have any money.
However, police on the scene said no blood or shell casings were found where the man said he was robbed and shot.
He was taken to Temple University Hospital and was listed in stable condition early Friday morning.
No arrests were made.
Well, drugs are a "convenience" to an addict, aren't they? As long as the cops let these drug outlets operate freely, the business will go on, and the robberies, and the shootings, and the killings, and the innocent bystanders getting shot, and the witnesses threatened, etc, etc, etc...— DonQ- Someone making a run for it, and takes one in the back!!!
