18-year-old woman wounded as more than 50 shots fired on Brewerytown street

An 18-year-old woman was shot in the arm Tuesday night when more than 50 rounds were fired on the 1500 block of North Stillman Street in Philadelphia's Brewerytown section, according to police accounts reported by several local outlets.

FOX 29 Philadelphia reported that officers were called to the block around 10 p.m. and found the woman bleeding heavily from a gunshot wound to her arm. 6abc Action News put the time of the gunfire at about 10:30 p.m.

Police took the woman to Temple Hospital, where she was listed in stable condition, FOX 29 reported. 6abc said she was recovering at the hospital. CBS Philadelphia also reported that she was struck in the arm and described the shooting as taking place in North Philadelphia.

Chief Inspector Scott Small told reporters that investigators collected more than 50 spent shell casings from weapons of two different calibers, according to FOX 29. Small said rifle rounds were among the casings found, and that gunfire struck a parked car that had no one inside, the station reported.

6abc reported that police believe at least two gunmen opened fire and that at least two semi-automatic weapons were used, one of them a rifle.

No arrests had been reported in the immediate aftermath of the shooting, and police had not released a description of any possible suspect, according to FOX 29.

Investigators are hoping that several surveillance cameras in the area will help them identify those responsible, 6abc reported.

Police have not publicly said what may have led to the shooting or whether the woman was the intended target, and none of the outlets reported a motive.

The investigation is ongoing.
