A Philadelphia woman, who was seven months pregnant, was reportedly shot dead Saturday night after returning home from her baby shower in what authorities believe was a targeted killing.
No arrests had been made as of late Saturday, according to reports. Eleven shell casings were found at the scene.
The shooting happened before 9:00 PM ET while the woman, 32, was unloading her gifts from her car, FOX 29 in Philadelphia reported.
The woman was rushed to a hospital, where she and her unborn baby were pronounced dead.
She had been shot in the head and the stomach, Philadelphia police said, according to WPVI-TV in Philadelphia.
“The person that did this couldn’t be more cowardly,” Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Christine Coulter said, according to WPVI.
