PENNSYLVANIA — A man is in critical condition after being shot at a hotel in Philadelphia’s Eastwick neighborhood early Sunday morning, according to police.

The victim was transported to Penn Presbyterian Hospital, where he remains in critical condition.
Authorities said the father was taken into custody at the scene. No charges were immediately announced.
Philadelphia police continue to investigate both the shooting and the original rape report.
