Philadelphia Police are investigating after they say a 6-year-old girl was shot on Tuesday night. Officials say the incident took place on the 6300 block of N. Woodstock St. Police say the girl suffered a gunshot wound under her left arm. Police arrived on the scene shortly before 7:00 p.m. Authorities say the girl was taken to Einstein Hospital and was listed in critical condition. Her injuries required surgery. Officials say that if she is stabilized, she will be transferred to St. Christopher's Hospital. Police say there were at least 21 shots fired, from two different weapons. They add that the 6-year-old was reportedly standing on the front steps of her home when she was hit. Authorities believe that she was struck by a stray bullet.

Starting this weekend, SEPTA will be closing its Center City trolley tunnel, at times, for maintenance and repairs. The five-mile long trolley tunnel will be closed from 8pm Friday until 4:30am Monday the next three weekends, and during the same hours on weeknights for the next two weeks. During the closures, passengers will be transferring at 40th street to the Market-Frankford Line.

The Franklin Institute hosted an event Tuesday night, aimed at getting adults interested in the sciences. Sparklers, hydrogen balloons, liquid nitrogen, and soap are just a few of the tools used during the Science After Hours program at the Franklin Institute. While exploring the museum, visitors can enjoy some adult beverages. The Franklin Institute hosts Science After Hours once a month, with different themes each month.
