One man was hospitalized following a drive-by shooting in North Philadelphia Sunday morning, authorities said. <\/p>\n

At around 1:29 a.m., Philadelphia police responded to a gas station in the Stenton neighborhood at East Mount Airy Avenue for a report of a shooting, police said. At the scene, officers found a 24-year-old man shot in the upper right side of his back inside a vehicle.<\/p>\n

There were other passengers in the car, all of which were not hit by gunshots, police said. The 24-year-old was transported to an area hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Witnesses say a white Kia drove through the gas station parking lot with a passenger in the vehicle shooting out the window, police said. A total of 14 shell cases were marked at the scene. <\/p>\n

Investigators said the vehicle fled the scene, leaving behind a piece of a mirror.<\/p>\n

The incident comes during another violent night in Philadelphia, including a woman shot in the left shoulder after a fight with another woman on the 100 block of Chestnut Street. The woman was transported to Jefferson hospital where she is in stable condition, police said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A count by the Philadelphia Office of the City Controller<\/a>, last updated Oct. 13, shows at least 396 fatal and 1,502 non-fatal victims of gunfire in 2022. The Philadelphia Police Department had recorded at least 429 killings as of Oct. 16, a 1% decrease from the same time in 2021, which ended as the year with the most killings in Philadelphia’s recorded history.<\/p>\n
