PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A street shooting near a Catholic school in Philadelphia left a woman dead and three men wounded, authorities said, including one who was hospitalized in critical condition.
The shooting occurred around 3:40 p.m. Wednesday, when two men came from around a corner and started shooting at a group of people, authorities said. Witnesses reported hearing roughly 20 shots overall.
The shooting occurred shortly after students were dismissed from the St. Malachy school, but no one from the school was injured in the incident.
Yaniyah Foster, 19, and a 25-year-old man were both shot in the head. Foster died late Wednesday, while the man remains hospitalized in critical condition. The two other wounded men - a 23-year-old shot in the foot and a 25-year-old who was hit in the right arm - were listed in stable condition.
The shooters apparently fled the scene on foot and remained at large Thursday. A motive for the shooting has not been determined.
