PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — Two 15-year-old boys are recovering at the hospital after they were shot in the city's Poplar neighborhood Monday night. Police say one of the boys was shot 20 times.
Police were called to 10th and Cambridge streets, just about a block south of Girard Avenue, where they found one teen shot twice in the leg. About one block to the west, they found the other teen, shot mostly in the legs.
Just after 8:30 p.m., both boys were taken to Jefferson hospital, where they are in stable condition.
Investigators are scouring the neighborhood looking for surveillance video, but say they believe two males are responsible for the shooting. One was said to have worn a blue face mask and gray hoodie; the other, a long-sleeve black t-shirt.
No one has been arrested, and no gun was found at the scene.
