Police say a woman is dead and a man and 3-year-old boy are in critical condition after a break-in and shooting at a row home in Philadelphia.
The shooting occurred just after 5 a.m. in the city's Hunting Park section.
The child is in critical condition at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children.
The woman and man were taken to Temple University Hospital where the woman died. The man is listed in critical but stable condition. Both suffered multiple gunshot wounds.
Detectives say they are looking for two gunmen , believed to be in their late 20s or early 30s , who made their getaway in a blue Ford Crown Victoria.
Police say the home invasion and shootings may have been the result of a dispute over a gambling debt.
