PHILADELPHIA – A 42-year-old man is dead, and two women are injured after a string of shootings, one of them being accidental, took place across Philadelphia overnight this weekend.<\/p>\n
What we know:<\/p>\n
The weekend’s violence began late Saturday evening when a 20-year-old woman was shot in the arm on the 200 block of West Spencer Street. She is currently in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Investigators determined the shooting was accidental. A 22-year-old man, identified as the son of the victim’s father’s girlfriend, was handling a firearm when it discharged. The man, who possesses a valid permit to carry, surrendered the firearm to police. He is now facing charges of Recklessly Endangering Another Person and Simple Assault.<\/p>\n
A deadly shooting unfolded on the 2900 block of West Clementine Street early Sunday morning around 4:20 a.m.<\/p>\n
Officers arrived to find a 42-year-old man lying in the street, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds to his chest, left leg, right arm, and right hip. He was pronounced dead at a local hospital.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Just hours prior, officers were called to the 3300 block of North Smedley Street for a reported shooting. A woman was found suffering from a single gunshot wound to her upper left shoulder and was transported to a local hospital in stable condition.<\/p>\n
Police say the shooting stemmed from an argument with a person who was acting erratically on the street. The suspect, who reportedly lives on the block, grabbed a firearm from a silver sedan before firing a single shote and fleeing.<\/p>\n
What we don’t know:<\/p>\n
A motive is still unknown for the deadly shooting, and no suspect has been taken into custody for either Sunday morning shooting. Investigations are underway.<\/p>\n
