Police: Man Shot In Head While Getting Groceries Out Of Truck
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia police are searching for a gunman who they say opened fire on a man while he was pulling grocery bags out of his truck in the Spring Garden section of the city.
It happened around 7 p.m. in the 400 block of North 4th Street.
Police say a 45-year-old man had just returned home from the grocery store when he was shot in the back of the head.
"We believe he just returned home from shopping when he was shot," said Philadelphia Chief Inspector Scott Small.
The victim was transported to an area hospital where he remains in critical condition.
No arrests have been made. Authorities don't believe this was a random shooting.
Small believes the shooter fled on foot and got into a white sedan that has a sunroof.
There's no motive for the shooting at this time, but Small adds that it appears the shooter was lying in wait for the victim.
Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.
