PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A double shooting in Mantua that left a husband and wife in critical condition marred a weekend that began with the Eagles Super Bowl victory parade, and which also saw another shooting and a stabbing between Saturday and Sunday.
Police say the shooting happened just before 4:30 a.m. Sunday, on Wallace Street near 38th Street in the city’s Mantua neighborhood.
Authorities say the husband, 37, was shot four times, twice in the right arm and twice in the abdomen. His wife, 42, was hit twice on her left side. Both walked themselves to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center and were placed in critical condition.

Earlier, also in Mantua, just after 8 p.m. on Saturday night and right around the corner from the later double shooting, police say a 50-year-old man was shot in his left leg on Mount Vernon near 39th Street.
He also went to Penn Presbyterian and is in stable condition. Authorities have not made an arrest or recovered any weapon.
