PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Police say a school in North Philadelphia went into lockdown following a shooting in the area.
Police say a 33-year-old woman was shot in the neck at 24th and West Diamond streets shortly before 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday. She was taken to the hospital, where she is in critical condition. Police arrested a man and recovered a gun at the scene.
Sources tell KYW Newsradio that the man with the gun had a permit to carry, and the shooting was an accident.
The nearby William Dick Elementary School went into lock down, though, about 10 minutes later.
