Two teens, ages 14 and 15, injured in North Philly shooting
The shooting happened at 24th Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue and was captured on surveillance video, police said.
Two teenage boys, ages 14 and 15, were injured in a shooting Tuesday night in North Philadelphia, police said.
The shooting, which happened shortly after 7 p.m. at the corner of 24th Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue, was captured on surveillance video, said Chief Inspector Scott Small.
The boys were walking toward a store at the corner when they appeared to get into a verbal altercation with another male, Small said.
The shooter fired at least two times and then ran north on 24th Street, Small said. The 14-year-old was shot in the foot and the 15-year-old was shot in the abdomen.
The teens, who are friends, then ran to a nearby house where one of them lives on the 2400 block of Turner Street, Small said. They were then taken by police to Temple University Hospital, where they were listed in stable condition.
Police found one spent shell casing at the shooting scene, Small said.
