Bizarre Home Invasion In Kensington Ends With Man Shot Dead, 2 Arrested
PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) - A home invasion in Philadelphia's Kensington neighborhood ends with a man shot to death. Police say two armed men wearing ski masks kicked in the door of a home on the 2100 block of East Susquehanna Avenue, just before 11 p.m. Saturday.
They tied up a 52-year-old man and shot him in the back of the head, police said. The men then fled, taking two women and a pair of pants belonging to a second man.
Police say they then tried to break into another home on the 1700 block of Diamond Street, firing a shot at a man who answered the door.
The women were able to free themselves and fled, and the man at the door also fled and flagged down officers.
Police say two suspects aged 28 and 31 were arrested in an alley. A ski mask and other clothes were recovered.
No further information has been released.
