PA: Armed Victim Shoots Teen Assailaint

Police tell Action News there was a dispute between the 19-year-old driver of a Honda and the 38-year-old driver of a gray Ford.

Investigators say the driver of the Honda pointed a gun at the Ford driver. The Ford driver then pulled out a gun and opened fire.

The Honda driver was shot in the head, chest, arm and back. He left the area after the shooting but was later found on E. Westmoreland Street in the Kensington section.

"It's pretty amazing that after being shot multiple times, he was able to drive from G [Street] and Erie [Avenue] to 800 E Westmoreland [Street]. We know he was conscious and able to drive a vehicle," said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small.

Small says a relative brought the 19-year-old to the hospital for treatment, where he is also being held as a prisoner. He was listed as critical but is expected to survive.
