Police: Teen Shot In The Face While Waiting In Line For Water Ice In Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- Philadelphia Police say a 19-year-old man is in critical condition after he was shot in the city's Overbrook neighborhood.
Police say it happened at about 8:40 p.m. Wednesday at the 7400 block of Haverford Avenue.
Police say a group of teenagers were placing an order at the window of a water ice shop when a man walked up and started shooting.
According to police, a 19-year-old man was shot in the chin.
Lt. John Walker says, "Two young men trying to run a business here, clearly serving water ice. These people had just ordered, and these males walk right up on them where kids are standing and fired twice, striking one male in the face. The kid is in critical condition at this point."
No arrests have been made at this time.
The shooting happened about a block away from where a bakery owner was robbed and shot last week.
An eyewitness, Mexito Jean says, "This violence just going on everywhere. It's got to stop, especially in the youth."
The shooting is under investigation.
