WILMINGTON, DELAWARE (9/28/2015) A 23-year-old man shot in Wilmington on Sunday is in critical condition at Christiana Hospita in Stanton, city police reported this morning.

A large crowd threw rocks and bottles at police and medical responders, striking several officers but none required hospitalization.
