PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — At least five people, including a teenager, are dead after separate overnight shootings in Philadelphia.
Police say around 8:30 p.m. Friday officers responded to a call about a person with a gun near the 7100 block of Jackson Street. When they arrived at the scene they found a 38-year-old man, later identified as Thomas Dooner, suffering from multiple shot wounds to the stomach. He was taken to a nearby hospital where he died about 20 minutes later.
Police say the shooting occurred after an argument broke out between the 31-year-old suspect and Dooner’s daughter. They say the suspect threatened everyone before leaving the residence.
