Three teenagers were killed and another was injured during a shooting in Philadelphia over the weekend, CNN reported, citing local authorities.
Philadelphia police say officers responded to a report of a shooting around 3:30 p.m. Friday in the Lawncrest neighborhood northeast of downtown Philadelphia, where they found three victims.
Police found a 17-year-old male lying on a sidewalk outside a home with gunshot wounds. The second victim – an 18-year-old male – was found on the front porch with gunshot wounds. The third victim – a 14-year-old boy – was found inside the doorway of the home. Medics pronounced all three victims dead at the scene, police said in a report. Another victim, a 16-year-old male, arrived at a hospital with a gunshot wound to his stomach, Philadelphia Police First Deputy Commissioner John Stanford told local CNN affiliate KYW.
Stanford said two juvenile males – ages 15 and 16 – were arrested on firearms and related charges after a vehicle believed to be involved in the quadruple shooting was found, adding that the investigation is ongoing.
