A party in North Philadelphia was coming to a close as three people were shot early Monday morning, Philadelphia police said.

The shooting happened just before 1 a.m. on the 1300 block of North 10th Street, when officers patrolling the area heard gunfire and saw dozens of young people fleeing the property.

Officers said they found two of the shooting victims — a 17-year-old girl and a 23-year-old man — taking shelter inside a different house on the same block of North 10th. It is believed they ran there after being shot.

Both were transported to Temple University Hospital, police said, where the 17-year-old was in critical condition after being shot in the chest and the 23-year-old was listed as stable with graze wounds on his leg.

A third victim, a 31-year-old man who was shot in the buttocks, was also transported to Temple University Hospital separately, police said. He was in stable condition.

Police discovered 11 shell casings scattered across the property where the party and shooting occurred, as well as at another house across the street.

It is unclear if there was more than one shooter, and no arrests have been made. Police are investigating.
