NBC Philadelphia – Norristown Police describe it as a “chaotic” scene. They arrived on the 300 block of East Moore Street around 4:30 a.m. after hearing shots fired while at the nearby police station.

They say a gun battle had broken out between two groups of people.

Immediately they saw one shooting victim on the ground. Police say they heard a woman’s screams coming from the trunk of a bullet-ridden car. Investigators say the woman was tied up and had been beaten. A tech-9 semi automatic weapon was also found in the truck, according to police.

Two other people who had been shot were found by officers inside a nearby home. Three people in total were airlifted to the hospital.

Police say two of those people are suspects and they are trying to determine if the third is a victim or a suspect. One other person who was not hospitalized was taken into police custody.
