Man in critical condition after being shot outside Rivers Casino Philadelphia in Fishtown

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) — A man is in critical condition after being shot multiple times in the parking lot of Rivers Casino Philadelphia in the Fishtown neighborhood on Thursday.

The shooting happened just after noon in the 1000 block of N. Delaware Avenue.

According to police, a 37-year-old man suffered multiple gunshot wounds to his lower legs. He was taken to Jefferson Hospital in critical condition and has not been identified.

According to police, no arrests were made and no weapon was recovered.

Investigators focused on a black Mercedes with paper tags near the crime scene but released no information.

“Shocking. Really shocked,” said Mark Evans, who visited the casino. “I see a lot of police outside, so I didn’t know what was going on.”

Chopper 6 was above the scene where part of the parking lot could be seen being taped off as the investigation continued.
