An apparent rolling road rage shooting in North Philadelphia left a man hurt and a woman in police custody.

The shooting incident started around 11:30 p.m. Tuesday near North 24th and West Berks streets, Philadelphia Police chief Inspector Scott Small said.

A man in his 30s was hospitalized with a gunshot wound. "He was found to have sustained a single gunshot wound to his left chest," police said Wednesday. "The victim was immediately taken into surgery and is listed in critical condition."

Eventually one of the drivers came to a stop about a block or so away at North Ringgold Street and West Montgomery Avenue. That sedan had damage to the front end and windshield and the air bag appeared to have deployed.

It was unclear if that car belonged to the suspected shooter or the victim.
