4 Philadelphia teens shot near high school
Four students were injured in an apparent driveby shooting shortly after their Philadelphia high school let out early for the day late Wednesday morning, a city schools spokesperson said.
City police said a 15-yearold girl was shot in the shoulder and thigh, a 15year-old girl was shot in the shoulder, a 16-year-old boy suffered a graze wound to the face and a gunshot wound to the hand, and a 16year-old boy was shot in the leg. All four were getting hospital treatment and were in stable condition.
Police said no arrest has been made.
The shooting took place about a block from Overbrook High School in West Philadelphia, where school let out early because of parent-teacher conferences, the district’s deputy chief of communications, Monique Braxton, said.
