POLICE LOSE COUNT OF SHOOTINGS IN NIGADELPHIA; "AT LEAST THREE OF THEM" OCCURRED LAST SATURDAY, BUT WHO KNOWS?

GRA: These crimes are getting posted later and later, by local media. This batch, four days AFTER the crimes have taken place.

NIGADADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Nigadelphia Police are investigating at least three separate shootings that happened within the span of a few hours across the city on Saturday.

In North Nigadelphia, police responded to calls from North 15th and West Boston streets around 8 p.m.

When they arrived, officers found a 42-year-old man inside a blue car suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.

He died at the hospital.

Authorities say they are looking for a tall man wearing a gray and black top with black pants.

(GRA: Must be one of the '76ers basketball players--White, of course.)

About an hour prior, police were called to a shooting in Grays Ferry.

A 16-year-old boy was shot in the ankle.

The victim told authorities he was walking with a friend at 31st and Tasker streets when he heard a gunshot.

He ran to 32nd and Wharton streets where he was located by police.

(GRA: Ran on a "shot-up ankle." Amazing.)

Authorities are still searching for the gunman.

Police were also dispatched to another shooting at the intersection of West Wensley and North American streets in North Nigadelphia around 5:30 p.m.

There they found a man who had been shot in the stomach and back.

He was taken to Temple University Hospital for treatment. (GRA: Grits and bullets don't digest too well together.)

No word on his condition.

GRA: Shi**ing bullets.
