The man sought shelter and got into a nearby car that was traveling with the engine running. Inside the car were a mother, her stepfather and two children. Police told CBS Philadelphia it was unclear whether the man knew the family in the car.

Authorities said the man was shot multiple times and a 9-year-old boy in the car was shot in the right leg. The man ran from the car into a nearby house.
