An investigation is underway, officials said, after one woman was taken to a hospital and another woman was taken into police custody following a shooting in Philadelphia’s Mayfair neighborhood overnight. <\/p>\n
According to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small, the incident unfolded at about 2:30 a.m. near the intersection of Walker and Wellington streets in Philadelphia’s Mayfair neighborhood when a 34-year-old woman suffered a gunshot wound to her lower abdomen.<\/p>\n
She was taken to a nearby hospital and was listed in stable condition, he said. <\/p>\n
The victim, Small said, told first responders to the scene that she had been shot by a woman who she has had an ongoing dispute with for years, and gave officers a description of the suspected attacker and her vehicle, a gold Lexus, that the suspected shooter allegedly used to flee the scene. <\/p>\n
Officers were soon able to locate a woman in her early twenties who was alleged to be involved in this incident, Small said.<\/p>\n
And, he noted, this woman had a firearm in her possession when she was taken into police custody. <\/p>\n
“So, she is in custody and her gun has been recovered,” said Small. <\/p>\n
He said the suspected shooter was apprehended at her home and police plan to obtain a warrant to search the property as they investigate this incident. <\/p>\n
However, he said, police are planning to search the home that belonged to the victim in this incident, as well. <\/p>\n
Small said that’s because investigators recovered 11 spent shell casings at the scene of the shooting and they came from two different caliber bullets. <\/p>\n
“So, we are getting some preliminary information that this might have been a shootout,” he told NBC10. “We are not certain at this time. This is an ongoing investigation.” <\/p>\n
Investigators, Small said are currently reviewing surveillance footage from the area to learn more.<\/p>\n
An investigation into this incident is ongoing, he said. <\/p>\n
