PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Police said a gunman fired through the windows of an apartment in West Philadelphia, injuring a man inside.
It happened around 1:30 a.m. Thursday on Lex Street, near Brown Street, in the Mill Creek neighborhood.
Chief Inspector Scott Small said a first-floor apartment was the target.
"It appears that the shooter or shooters were intentionally shooting into this property because there's multiple bullet holes in several windows on the property," he said. "At least two bullet holes went through the front door of the property."
A 25-year-old man was struck in his face and back. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Another person in the apartment was not hurt.
Bullets also went through a second-floor apartment, but that resident was not injured.
Police are looking at private surveillance cameras on the block to try to identify a suspect.
