PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 A man is clinging to life after he was shot in the Bella Vista neighborhood Thursday night.<\/p>\n
Authorities said the victim was wearing Meta glasses, and investigators are trying to determine whether they were recording at the time of the shooting. Around 10:30 p.m., officers in the area of 12th and Bainbridge Streets heard gunshots and responded to nearby Kater Street, where they found an unconscious man who had been shot in the head.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust underneath that male victim was a Glock firearm along with the victim\u2019s glasses, which were the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, possibly [recording]. We\u2019re not sure we\u2019re still investigating that portion of it,\u201d said police Capt. Timothy Stephan. <\/p>\n
The man was taken to a hospital, where he is in \u201cextremely critical\u201d condition.<\/p>\n
Down the block, police found a car struck by at least four bullets. <\/p>\n
\u201cOne of those rounds did end up going through the driver\u2019s seat, and luckily nobody inside that vehicle was struck,\u201d Stephan said.<\/p>\n
No one was near the car when officers arrived, but another gun was recovered. Investigators said the victim and at least one other person exchanged gunfire. A motive is not yet known.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) \u2014 A man is clinging to life after he was shot in the Bella Vista…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193351,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82057,69,71,70,595,220,645],"class_list":["post-193350","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-bella-vista","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-philadelphia-police-department","tag-shooting","tag-south-philadelphia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193350","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=193350"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193350\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193351"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193350"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193350"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193350"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
