PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A 14-year-old boy is the latest victim of the city’s gun violence crisis — shot 10 times in Northeast Philadelphia on Monday just after noon.
On the 6100 block of Algon Avenue, near Oxford Avenue, the boy was struck five times in the torso and five times in his leg, according to police. Crime scene officers said there are probably more than 20 shell casings scattered on the ground.
He was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead a short time later. The shooting happened near the Oxford Village Apartments, just blocks away from Samuel Fels High School. The school was placed on lockdown for a brief period of time after the shooting.
The School District of Philadelphia said the victim was not a student at Fels.
