By Howard Monroe, CBS Philadelphia August 9, 2021 A barrage of bullets in Philadelphia's Washington Square West neighborhood sent three young people to the hospital. Police say a 19-year-old man and two 20-year-old men were all struck by gunfire. The shooting happened just before 11 p.m. Sunday and spanned nearly an entire block. Bullet markings have been seen on the 400 block of 13th Street, between Lombard Street and Pine Street. Those markings are also on both sides of the street. "I was lying in bed and I heard, 'boom, boom, boom' and it was a lot, and it was loud," Cinda Curran, who lives nearby said.
