A 16-year old was reportedly shot multiple times and seriously injured in the West Poplar section of the city last night.
A report from 6-ABC Action News said the shooting happened on the 1200 block of Fairmount Avenue at around 8:30 p.m. on Saturday night.
First arriving police officers at the scene reported finding the teen suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, including two to the head. The teenage victim was rushed to Jefferson University Hospital where he was last reported to be in critical condition.
Investigators said the teen was riding his bike when a car carrying three masked shooters pulled alongside the teen. The masked men jumped out of the vehicle and opened fire on the victim from close range, around 20 to 30 yards away from the victim, according to the police report. At least 21-spent shell casing were recovered at the scene. A possible motive for the shooting was not reported.
No suspects were named and no arrests have been made at this time.
