PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A teen boy and two men are injured after a shooting Sunday night at a SEPTA station in West Philadelphia.
It happened around 6:45 p.m. at the 56th Street Station on the Market-Frankford El. Police Inspector D.F. Pace said it appeared the shooter targeted one of the victims.
“As he turned the corner here into the area that leads up to the tracks — pulled out a gun and opened fire on the individuals that were walking up the steps,” Pace said.
The shooter struck a 14-year-old, 25-year-old, and 26-year-old, then ran west on Market Street. The 26-year-old is critical; the other two are stable.
Police found a gun in a backpack inside a trash can on the train platform. They said they don't know if it's connected to the shooting.
It was a violent weekend in the city. On Saturday night, a 15-year-old boy was shot and killed during an argument at a Sunoco in Port Richmond.
Early Sunday morning, a man was killed and a woman was injured in a shooting in West Philly, near 60th Street and Osage Avenue.
