PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Police say a woman was shot and a handicapped man was assaulted during a violent home invasion in South Philadelphia.
It happened around 6 a.m. Sunday along the 2100 block of Oakford Street in the Point Breeze section of the city.
Authorities say three masked men broke into the home where they held a 67-year-old woman against her will and pistol-whipped her son, who is paralyzed from the waist down, in the face and head.
Police say the son's girlfriend also was attacked.
"When police arrived they found this 35-year-old woman outside the house suffering from one gunshot wound to the left kneecap," said Captain Drew Techner.
