Several shots were fired Tuesday morning around 2am at 18th and Jefferson streets. They woke international business and finance major Bridget Quint, who then looked out her window at the action.

“I saw a black man, about 20, standing at the corner shooting up toward west Jefferson,” said Quint.

She saw the man fire three shots and then run down Jefferson toward Broad. Then, another man appeared and ran in the same direction as the shooter. Minutes later, three more men walked by.

“I did not see any of them with a gun, but I heard the one say he had a gun. He said he “shot him” but I don’t know who or what they were referring to,” said Quint.

The Philadelphia Police arrived shortly after. Quint saw no indication of injury or arrests.

No TU Alert or Advisory was sent out for the shooting.

“Now I imagine there are many crimes that go unknown to students, although these are student-populated areas. I guess I am kind of angry we didn’t get one, it makes me feel more separated from the campus,” said Quint.

Because this area is not in the Temple Police’s jurisdiction, they are not required to send alerts for incidents like this.

“That is outside the definition by law for issuance.  However, we do take incidents on a case-by-case bases depending on the circumstances and if there is a need for immediate action by members of our campus community. All said, although we have an excellent communication base, we may not always immediately know of an incident outside the campus area,” said Charles Leone, deputy director of Campus Safety Services.
