And Brianna, police say they do have a person in custody.
Yes, Rick. Police say that one male is in custody
while they continue to investigate.
Now, detectives say a man in his 30s
was visiting a 64-year-old man at his home
and that they're working to determine their relationship.
Meanwhile, a witness told us that he heard the men arguing
and then he heard someone yell,
I'm going to kill you, followed by a single gunshot.
It's quite overwhelming to say the least.
Residents in Frankfurt are left wondering
what led up to the shooting death
of their 64-year-old neighbor
and the stabbing of a man in his early 30s.
I'm sorry to hear that, that that happened.
Philadelphia police say officers responded to the 5400 block
of Harbison Avenue just after 5.30 in the evening.
That's where they found both injured men in the front yard.
It appears that the crime scene is both inside
of the property as well as on the front yard,
where we found a large amount of blood both inside and outside.
Police say the 64-year-old man was suffering from a gunshot wound
to his chest and was pronounced dead at the hospital,
while the man in his 30s was stabbed in his arm and leg
and taken to the hospital in critical condition.
Once he's stabilized, he will be questioned by homicide detectives.
We did find some exterior cameras on a school across the street.
Unknown if those cameras recorded anything,
but that will be part of our investigation.
The crime scene unit recovered several pieces of evidence
from the home, including a firearm and kitchen knives.
According to witnesses who lived on both sides of where this occurred,
they only heard one gunshot.
They did hear an altercation, and they heard one gunshot.
Neighbors say many veterans live on this block,
and they're shocked this violence unfolded so close to home.
We wouldn't expect that to happen in a neighborhood like this,
especially among us veterans.
Again, police say one male is in custody.
They did not clarify who that male is, but earlier they told us they
do not believe anyone else was involved in this altercation.
