A teenage girl walked herself to the hospital after being struck by a stray bullet while walking in Philadelphia’s Frankford neighborhood last night.
Philadelphia Police said the 17-year-old was walking across Frankford Avenue around 8:30 p.m. when she heard what sounded like gunfire.
She then felt something in her leg and realized a bullet had struck her in the leg.
The girl managed to walk a couple of blocks to Aria-Frankford where she was listed in stable condition with a graze wound to her thigh.
Police investigated the shooting and discovered shell casings along the 1600 block a Margaret Street. Investigators said that the bullet that struck the girl likely came from that location.
