Philly Hosts Double-Header

"PHILADELPHIA, PA - Philadelphia was rocked by two apparent murder-suicides and two other shootings that left two victims in critical condition within a two-hour span, police say.

"The spurt of violence began Thursday night when a 60-year-old Ukrainian woman allegedly fatally shot her 90-year-old mother before committing suicide, Philadelphia Inquirer reported Friday.

"Chief Inspector Scott Small said a little more than an hour later, an 18-year-old man was shot in the head by an unidentified suspect, who was arrested blocks from the scene. The wounded man was in extremely critical condition, Small said.

"Small said that shooting was followed roughly 15 minutes later by another apparent murder-suicide in which a man in his early 40s was suspected of fatally shooting his wife before turning his gun on himself.

"The inspector [said] the period of mayhem ended with a shooting at a Philadelphia pizza shop that left a 52-year-old man critically wounded. A suspect ws in custody for that shooting.

"The identities of the victims and suspects were not reported."
