Philadelphia doctors managed to save an unborn baby whose pregnant mother was shot and killed.
The Philadelphia Police Department said officers located a woman, identified only as in her early 20s, suffering from a gunshot wound to her head at Richmond Street and Wheatsheaf Lane.
The shooting happened in the Port Richmond neighborhood just after 1 a.m. Saturday, WPVI reported.
Upon realizing the unborn baby she was carrying was still alive, they transported the woman to Temple University Hospital. The woman was pronounced dead at the hospital at 1:56 a.m., but the infant was listed in stable condition, Philadelphia police Officer Miguel Torres told WCAU.
