Police: Fight Sparks Gunfire In Nicetown; Man Shot Several Times
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Police are investigating a shooting late Christmas night that left a man critically wounded in North Philadelphia.
It happened around 11:30 p.m. Sunday in the 3800 block of Bouvier Street in the city's Nicetown neighborhood.
Police say a 52-year-old man was shot several times in the arms and torso. He was taken to Temple Hospital in critical condition.
