A Northeast man was killed in a shooting last Friday in West Philadelphia, reportedly after an argument outside a Chinese restaurant.
The gunfire erupted at about 11:30 p.m. on the 1600 block of N. 55th St., police said. Officers found Paul McKernan, 27, of the 3200 block of Magee Ave. in Mayfair, with a gunshot wound of the left side of his neck. He was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania and pronounced dead just before midnight.
