Philadelphia Police are investigating after a shooting involving two taxi cab drivers outside of Frankford Transportation Center in broad daylight Saturday afternoon. It happened around 2 p.m. at SEPTA's Frankford Station on the 5200 block of Frankford Ave in Northeast Philadelphia. Two drivers got into an argument over a fare and an altercation broke out. One cab driver pulled out a knife and the other taxi driver pulled out a gun. The one driver then shot three times, hitting the other driver in the head, neck, and stomach. SEPTA police arrested the shooter. The victim was taken to Aria-Torresdale Hospital. The driver with the gun has a permit to carry.

Authorities in Montgomery County are looking for a driver who left the scene after a 2-year-old was struck Saturday afternoon. The hit-and-run happened just before 5:00 p.m. at Spring Garden and Bannockburn Avenue in Ambler. The boy was playing in Knights Park and ran out into the street. He was hit by a dark gray Toyota 4Runner or other SUV which continued southbound on North Main Street. The boy was flown to Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania with serious but non life-threatening injuries.
