An early morning shooting at, what police called, an unauthorized 'pop-up hookah lounge' at 10th and Diamond streets in North Philly, left two people hospitalized Monday, officials say.Officials say two people were shot in an incident that involved a pop-up hookah lounge near off-campus housing for Temple University near the intersection of 10th and Diamond streets in North Philly.
NBC10’s Lili Zheng has details. Two people have been hospitalized, officials said, after an overnight shooting erupted at, what police called, an"unauthorized hookah lounge,' near an off-campus housing building for Temple University. According to Captain Timothy Stephan of the Philadelphia Police Department, the incident happened just after 3 a.m. on Monday morning, inside"a pop-up hookah lounge which is not authorized," that was operating inside a vacant restaurant on the bottom of, what he called, an off-campus housing complex for Temple University at 10th and Diamond streets.At the scene, he said, first responders discovered two men who had been shot -- one who had been shot multiple times and another who was shot in the chest and leg. These victims were taken to a nearby hospital where, Stephan said, they were listed in stable condition. However, the police captain noted that the officers who responded to the shooting found a"chaotic scene," as the pop-up hookah lounge had been the source of prior complaints earlier in the weekend.Temple University's Police Department, he said, had received complaints prior to the shooting that claimed the unauthorized hookah lounge was operating out of a shuttered restaurant space from 3 to 6 a.m. since, at least, last Friday.At the scene, he said, investigators discovered shots fired in different directions, with at least one shot having entered the lobby of the off-campus housing complex.But, Stephan said, the building was equipped with numerous surveillance cameras that police were activity reviewing as of about 6 a.m. on Monday.
