A 70-year-old suspected gunman was taken into police custody on Monday night after, officials say, a man was shot twice in a North Philly home.<\/p>\n

According to police, officers responded to the 1500 block of West Allegheny Avenue at about 10:38 p.m. on Monday night after receiving a report of a shooting at a residence there. <\/p>\n

At the home involved in this incident, officials said, first responders to the scene found blood in a hallway and encountered a 70-year-old man.<\/p>\n

This man was taken into custody and a firearm was recovered from this individual’s pocket, police said. <\/p>\n

However, there was no victim at the scene. <\/p>\n

As officers investigated at the home, police learned a 36-year-old man had arrived at a nearby hospital after being struck in the abdomen and back in a shooting at the home on Allegheny Avenue. <\/p>\n

This man, officials said, was taken into surgery and was still receiving medical care as of about 9:30 a.m. on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

Police believe the victim was struck by gunfire after being involved in a fight at the home with a woman, before the 70-year-old man — who was taken into custody — intervened, officials said.<\/p>\n

But, an investigation into this incident is still ongoing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A 70-year-old suspected gunman was taken into police custody on Monday night after, officials say, a man was…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":249098,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[221,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-249097","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-north-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249097","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=249097"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249097\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/249098"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249097"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249097"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249097"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
