Philly.com via Everyblock reports a shooting happened at 11:50, either AM or PM on the 1500 block of Church Street at Penn. The nugget reports AM but it’s 11:47 AM right now and I don’t think they’re predicting the future. I’m guessing 11:50 PM last night since the same piece says the victim was pronounced dead a short time later at 12:44 AM.
