Philadelphia Police are now investigating a deadly shooting that took place in the city's Kensington section. The shooting took place on Sunday at 4:15 pm on the 3200 block of Rorer Street. Police say that they arrived on the scene to find a 22-year-old man shot three times, once in the chest and twice in the back. The victim was taken to Temple University Hospital where he was later pronounced dead. So far no arrests have been made.

The Eagles beat the Rams on Sunday 43-35 solidifying their spot in the playoffs this year, but the day did come with some heartbreak for the team and fans. Eagles star quarterback Carson Wentz was hit hard in the 3rd quarter, which caused him to suffer a knee injury. During the play, Wentz was trying to get into the end zone. A flag was thrown because of a holding call on Lane Johnson. Wentz continued to play after the hit but later had to be taken out for the rest of the game and be replaced by Nick Foles. Sources say that Wentz may have a torn ACL, but will have a MRI later on to see what is really wrong.

Police are investigating after a woman was killed from being throw out of a moving truck and then being run over by another car in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. Police say that the woman, who is believed to be in her 30's, was a passenger in the suspect's truck that was driving on the 3000 block of Frankford Avenue at around 1:50 am on Sunday. At some point, the woman was pushed out of the truck. She was able to hold onto the door but then fell off. A car traveling behind the truck then hit the woman, both vehicles fled the scene. The truck is described as a silver Ford F-150 and the car who hit the woman is a black Dodge Challenger. Police are now reviewing surveillance footage that may be able to help identify the drivers of the vehicles.
