An argument between two men inside a senior living facility in West Philadelphia escalated to a shooting leaving one of the men badly hurt on Tuesday night, according to police. <\/p>\n
Officers were called to Bernice Arms on the 6000 block of Baltimore Avenue just before 8 p.m. on Oct. 14 for reports of a shooting inside an apartment complex, Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector Scott Small said. <\/p>\n
When police got there, they found a 67-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound to his stomach, Small said. The man was taken to a nearby hospital where he was placed in critical condition. <\/p>\n
Investigators said that they think there was an argument between the 67-year-old and another man in the second floor hallway of the apartment building. <\/p>\n
The argument led to the other man firing at least five shots at the 67-year-old, Small said. The victim’s apartment door and wall had bullet holes. <\/p>\n
Small explained that the victim and the alleged shooter may have known each other. Police do have a name and description of the suspected shooter. <\/p>\n
Police are talking to the staff of the senior living facility and investigators are reviewing surveillance camera footage from inside and near the building, Small said. <\/p>\n
