A 25-year-old man was in critical condition after being shot early Sunday morning outside a Tacony bar, according to police.

Officers responded to a report of gunshots just after 2:15 a.m. and were flagged down by a crowd of people at Torresdale Avenue and Disston Street. They directed police to the victim, who was leaning on a wall outside the bar, authorities said.

The man was shot once in the stomach and once in his right hand, which ricocheted into his right hip, police said. Officers rushed him to Jefferson Torresdale Hospital, where he was listed in critical condition.

No arrests have been made as of Tuesday. The investigation is being handled by Northeast Detectives. ••
