Two people, including a toddler, shot in Southwest Philadelphia

Two people, including a toddler, were critically wounded in a street shooting Wednesday night in Southwest Philadelphia, police said.

The shooting happened around 8:30 p.m. near 67th and Trinity Streets in the Mount Moriah section.

Wounded were a 21-year-old man who was shot at least nine times and taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, and his 18-month-old son, who was wounded twice, in the chest and in the leg, according to Lt. John Walker of Southwest Detectives. The toddler was taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Both were in critical condition.

The two victims were inside a black Dodge Charger when at least one gunman walked up to the driver's door and opened fire, Walker said. After being shot, the 21-year-old man drove off, with  additional shots continuing from behind the vehicle.

Walker said the gunman apparently had been waiting for his target and had to know there was a child in the car when he fired at the fleeing car.

The father drove two blocks to the police station at 65th Street and Woodland Avenue. Fire medics attached to that station transported the 18-month-old to CHOP, and police took his father to Penn Presbyterian.

The police said they were not aware of a motive for the shootings.
