A pair of masked men entered through the back door of a house on the 9400 block of Torresdale Avenue around 4 a.m., authorities said. They shot a 39-year-old man once in the back and a 37-year-old woman in the right leg, according to police.

Both victims were transported to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition, police said.
