PHILADELPHIA (CBS) — Police say a 14-year-old boy waiting for a SEPTA bus was shot nearly 20 times in North Philadelphia Monday afternoon. He died a short time later from his injuries.
Police say two men are now being questioned by detectives for this ambush murder in broad daylight.
“A vehicle, maybe two, pull up. Two males get out and start shooting at him, chasing him,” Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
Monday afternoon, police rushed to numerous 911 calls for shots fired outside a packed Rite Aid at the busy intersection of Rising Sun and Wyoming Avenues in the city’s Feltonville neighborhood.
“They find a teenage boy laying on the sidewalk. He’s shot many, many times,” Small said.
