New Year’s Eve violence in Philadelphia leaves at least 9 people shot, including a teenager: Police

Hours after Philadelphia rang in the New Year, the city saw a wave of gun violence that left at least nine people dead – including a teenager, police say.

A domestic dispute in the city’s Frankford neighborhood escalated into the city’s first reported shooting in 2023 less than an hour after the clock struck midnight. Authorities told the outlet that a woman shot a 30-year-old man twice who allegedly assaulted her. The man was shot in the abdomen. He was taken to hospital where he was placed in stable condition. The police then arrested him.

As the hours dragged on into the early morning more shots were fired. At least five victims – including an 87-year-old woman – were hit by gunfire.

Police said at least one minor, a 15-year-old boy, was among at least nine victims injured in the gun violence overnight.
