Police say two teens were hanging around a gas station when an unknown gunman opened fire on them.
The teens fled, but both were shot. One, a 16-year-old boy, was shot in the back and taken to Temple University Hospital in stable condition. Police say they found the second victim, a 15-year-old boy, with a gunshot wound to his leg in the 1800 block of Pulaski Avenue. He was taken to the hospital where he was treated and released.
Then, at around 3 a.m., police say they discovered that there was a third shooting victim. Another 15-year-old boy had been taken by a private car to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. Authorities say he was grazed by a bullet in both legs.
Police describe the shooter as a 16 or 17-year-old black male, between 5' 7" and 5' 8" tall, and was wearing a white tee-shirt at the time.
