Three men were wounded in a triple shooting Tuesday night in the city’s Kensington section, police said.

Just before 8 p.m., police on patrol heard multiple gunshots and found two victims at the intersection of F and East Wishart Streets, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.

A 35-year-old man who was riding an electric bike south on F Street was shot in the chest, abdomen, and leg, Small said. The man was transported by police to Temple University Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.

A 25-year-old man shot in the back also was taken by police to Temple, where he was listed in stable condition, Small said.

Police later learned that a 37-year-old man shot in the leg was transported by private vehicle to the Episcopal campus of Temple, Small said.

That man, who was listed in stable condition, told police he was walking on Allegheny Avenue and he believed he was hit by a stray bullet, Small said.

Police found at least 10 spent shell casings at F and Wishart, Small said.

No arrests were reported.
