A man is in police custody after, officials said, he surrendered to officers after a woman was injured in a shooting that happened at a Wawa store in Northeast Philly’s Holmesburg community early Thursday. According to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small, the incident happened at a bout 1:53 a.m. on Thursday when a woman’s head was hurt — he said it was initially unclear if she was shot or of the bullet grazed her — in a shooting that happened in the parking lot of a Wawa located along the 3500 block of Sheffield Avenue. She was taken to a nearby hospital, he said, but her condition was not immediately known. When police arrived on the scene, Small said, a man — who he did not immediately provide further identifying information on — surrendered to responding officers in relation to the shooting. He was taken into custody and a firearm was seized at the scene, Small said. Small did not detail a motive in this incident and did not say if the man who surrendered to police would be charged in the shooting. But, he said, an investigation is ongoing. This is a breaking news story. It will be updated as new information becomes available. ...read more read less
