Authorities say the suspects fired several gunshots, striking the man in the head.<\/p>\n<p>It was a close call for one man who lives on Kater Street in Philadelphia&#8217;s Bella Vista neighborhood. He showed CBS News Philadelphia multiple bullet holes that ripped through his home following the shooting.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This one here. If it would have gone a-little bit further it would have gone into the bedroom,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>He did say that he heard the shots and when he looked outside, he saw a man on the ground. Police say one man in his 20s was shot in the head and taken to Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Next thing I know my house is a crime scene on each side. And police are knocking on my door and everything. It&#8217;s crazy,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I&#8217;m a little nervous now because it&#8217;s like 10-feet away from where I was at.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Police say officers were in the area of 12th and Bainbridge when they heard the shots. They also say they found a car abandoned up the street with bullet holes in it. They do not believe anyone was injured.<\/p>\n<p>As police try to piece together exactly what happened, they say they did find a pair of Ray-Ban Meta glasses that may have recorded the incident.<\/p>\n<p>Neighbors say they heard it all too and the police response was quick.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It was very loud. And I think half the neighborhood came out,&#8221; Sunny Payne said. &#8220;And there as a massive police response I mean almost instantaneously.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Neighbors say the shooting is upsetting, but say despite that, they still feel safe and love their neighborhood.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is the safest neighborhood. I&#8217;ve been here forty years and it has, over time, gotten better and better and it&#8217;s so safe here. We don&#8217;t ever have problems,&#8221; Payne said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"content__tags__label\">In:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Police are investigating whether a pair of smart glasses captured video of a shooting that left a man&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":193934,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[64056,69,71,70,220,645],"class_list":["post-193933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-meta","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news","tag-shooting","tag-south-philadelphia"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193933","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=193933"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/193933\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/193934"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=193933"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=193933"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=193933"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
