A man was killed early Saturday in a shooting a few blocks from Temple University’s campus, police said. The shooting took place just before 12:30 a.m. on the 1700 block of Sydenham Street. Police said the victim was not a Temple student, but were only describing him as being in his 20s. Police did not report any arrests. The fatal shooting was Philadelphia’s 168th homicide of 2007, a pace of more than one a day.
