A Sunday shooting in Point Breeze left two people injured and investigators puzzled.
At 12:50 a.m., authorities ventured to 17th and Ellsworth streets, encountering the punctured parties. The complainant relayed that he had parked his car and was exiting on the passenger side when a bullet struck him. An unknown black male ended up hitting him four times on the left side of his chest and shoulder before he could return to the ride, Detective Danielle Tolliver of South Detective Division said.
A witness, who reported the passenger side glass was broken, joined the wounded man in the car to transport him to the hospital. Authorities, having stopped them at the intersection of South 26th Street and Washington Avenue, arranged for transport of both to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The location listed the complainant in serious condition, Tolliver said, with the witness tended to for superficial cuts on her legs because of the broken glass. A detailed description of the shooter was not available as of press time.
