A coalition of young Philadelphians are marching from City Hall to Washington, D.C. to push government officials to address the gun violence crisis. NBC10’s Brandon Hudson has the details.
A young man was killed and four other people were wounded in a shooting outside a Germantown Avenue barbershop early Thursday evening, and the bullet casings suggest two gunmen may have been involved.
The attackers are believed to have drove by the business and fired from a green car, police at the scene said. The car fled the scene, and it was not known as of 9 p.m. if anyone was in custody.
A police cruiser was about a block away when the shooting occurred about 5:40 p.m.
A 28-year-old man who was shot once in the head died at a nearby hospital, police said.
