A man was in critical condition after being shot in the back of the head next to a playground at a Philadelphia recreation center.
After hearing gunshots just before 9:30 p.m. Wednesday, police officers found the man unconscious and face-down on a walking path between the playground and the basketball courts at the Stenton Recreation Center in the Logan neighborhood, Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
Investigators found seven spent bullet casings and believe the gunman may have been chasing the victim, who appears to be in his early 20s, Small said. The police officers rushed him to Albert Einstein Medical Center. The rec center is located across the street from several rowhomes. It has surveillance cameras, which detectives will review during the investigation, Small said.
