A 21-year-old returning from a food run during a basketball watch party was shot dead on Monday night, according to Philadelphia authorities. Gregory Battle had gone out to pick up Chinese takeout in the middle of a matchup between the Philadelphia 76ers and the Toronto Raptors, and was killed after a hail of gunfire struck him just outside the party. At least half a dozen bullets were fired in the incident, according to police, some of which struck the house, where roughly 10 other people, including several children, were inside watching the game. With an investigation ongoing, no arrests had been made in Battle’s death as of Tuesday afternoon.
