The shooting happened around 9 p.m. on the 1100 block of South 53rd Street.

Police said they were called to the area for reports of a shooting.

While on their way, officers said they were notified that the gunshot victim had driven to a firehouse at 65th Street and Woodland Avenue.

According to investigators, at least 15 rifle rounds were found at the shooting scene. They said the victim's vehicle was struck 11 times and he was hit once in the shoulder.

"Looks like the vehicle is targeted. We're looking for the gunman," said Inspector D.F. Pace with Philadelphia police.
