TEEN KILLED AS GUNMEN SHOOT UP PHILLY STREET

-

PHILADELPH­IA Two gunmen firing from opposite sides of a Philadelph­ia street unleashed a hail of bullets on four children, killing a 14-year-old boy, police said.

Authoritie­s said Tuesday that the other three children were wounded, including an 11-year-old boy, and were in stable condition. A 24-yearold man who was walking a short distance away was also shot in the abdomen, but police said the teens were the intended targets.

The victims were outside on a sidewalk at about midnight Monday when the shooting occurred in North Philadelph­ia. Capt. John Ryan said at least 21 shots were fired, all from the two gunmen who acted in concert. He said the victims, who all live within a block of the site, did not return fire.
