PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- An 11-year-old girl and 32-year-old man were both shot on South 52nd Street between Chestnut and Ludlow Streets in West Philadelphia, police say.
The incident happened around 11:30 p.m. Wednesday night.
Authorities say the young girl was shopping with her family when she was hit by stray gunfire. Her family immediately rushed her to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, where she is in stable condition.

"We found one vehicle parked at 52nd and Ludlow which was struck on the passenger side by gunfire. In that vehicle, we found a 16-year-old female hiding," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. "We transported her to police headquarters as a witness."
There are no arrests at this time.
