Police are looking for a suspect in connection with a shooting and an attempted robbery which occurred off campus around 1 a.m. Saturday in the 1500 block of North 17th Street.

According to multiple news outlets including The Inquirer and NBC 10, a suspect – described in a subsequent TU Alert and other reports as a male about 35-40 years old wearing a red hooded sweatshirt, red beanie cap and blue jeans – tried to enter a party being held on the block. 

When the suspect was denied entry since he was not a student, the outlets’ websites reported that he pulled a handgun on the victim, a 22-year-old male student. The suspect allegedly fired a round into the student’s hip when he charged at him.

The student was rushed to Hahnemann University Hospital and has since been released, according to The Inquirer.

An investigation is ongoing.
