PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A 31-year-old woman is fighting for her life after being shot at a Kensington homeless encampment.
According to police, the incident happened Friday night just before midnight. The victims said they were living in a tent near East Tusculum Street and Kensington Avenue.
Police Inspector D.F. Pace said they believe that's where the 31-year-old woman and a 26-year-old man were attacked.
"The two individuals appear to be targeted," he said. "The shell casings fell upon the various articles they were sleeping on or sitting on at the time. So both individuals were shot at very close range."
