A passenger in one of the cars was grazed in the leg and taken to the hospital in stable condition.
And again, with the number of people that are walking up and down this area and rush hour traffic, very lucky that only one individual injured," said 1st Deputy Commissioner John Stanford.It is unclear what caused the two to begin shooting at each other.A bus for a visiting sports team for Temple University was in the area and was also hit by gunfire.
