City Of Brotherly Hate: Philly's First Day Of 2023 Was Riddled With Violence

As the new year begins, the violence ramps up a notch.

As many around the country celebrated the New Year with parties, friends, and family, some were met with muggings, gunshot wounds, and hospital trips. This was the theme in Philly.

CBS states, “The year started with an 87-year-old woman who suffered a gunshot wound to the left shoulder in Port Richmond, police say. This incident happened at 12:15 AM on Sunday on the 3400 block of Salmon Street. She was transported to Jefferson Frankford Hospital in stable condition. No arrests have been made in this incident.”

Another shooting occurred less than an hour away when a man was shot in his leg and shoulder. However, the woman that shot him claims it was in self-defense because he was trying to assault her. She did have a permit to carry the gun.

Then, less than another hour later, just before 2 AM, a teenager was shot in his neck. Thankfully, he’s in stable condition. However, the violence didn’t stop there.

CBS says, “Just a few minutes after 2 AM in Strawberry Mansion, a 26-year-old man was shot in the neck, police say. He was transported to Temple University Hospital, where he was in critical condition. Police say the incident on the 3300 block of Ridge Avenue remains under investigation and that they have a suspect in this case.”

Approximately half an hour later, two more gunshot victims were transported to Temple University Hospital. After that, two more teens, an 18-year-old and a 15-year-old, suffered gunshot wounds. The shootings didn’t stop there.

Another victim was transported around 4 AM, and another one at about 4:30 AM. Per CBS, “The last reported incident by Philadelphia police overnight happened around 5 AM. A 34-year-old man showed up at Temple Hospital with gunshot wounds to the left thigh.”

CBS points out that the homicide rate climbed above 500 in December alone. It’s horrifying to hear that so many people were shot on this day, and I know the violence will likely continue.
