Police responded to a report of a person with a gun at a home on the 6300 block of North Woodstock Street around 4 a.m. Friday.

When they arrived they found Isis Williams, 24, of Upper Darby, suffering from a gunshot wound to the left side of the head in a second floor bedroom. Her five-day-old daughter was only a few feet away from her. The baby was not harmed but Williams was pronounced dead at the scene.
