Two 17-year-olds were injured and a 20-year-old woman narrowly missed being struck in the Wednesday night shooting in Cobbs Creek, police say.
Two teenagers were injured and a woman narrowly missed being struck by gunfire in her home in Cobbs Creek on Wednesday night, police said. Police are searching for two suspects in the shooting.
Police responded to a report of a person with a gun and a shooting on the 100 block of North Redfield Street shortly after 10:30 p.m., and found two 17-year-old boys who had been struck by bullets, police said. One teen was shot multiple times throughout his body and the other was shot in the left arm, police said.
Both teens were taken to Penn Presbyterian Medical Center, police said. The teen who was shot multiple times was in critical condition, while the other teen was in stable condition.
More than 40 shell casings were strewn across the scene, from two different caliber semiautomatic weapons, said Chief Inspector Scott Small. One weapon appears to be a rifle, he said, and the other a handgun.
One of the bullets fired came through the bedroom window of a woman who lived nearby, police told NBC10.
Police said the motive for the shooting was unclear. No weapons had been recovered and no arrests had been made.
