A teenager is fighting for his life after he was shot by an armed robber in the Germantown section of Philadelphia Monday night.
The 17-year-old boy was sitting in the pavilion area of Fernhill Park on the 300 block of Apsley Street at 8:18 p.m. when he was approached by an unidentified gunman. Police say the gunman stole the teen’s cellphone and wallet before opening fire. The teen was shot in the head and hip. The gunman then fled and jumped in a van which traveled south on Morris Street.
The teen managed to run across the street and a witness called police. The teen was taken to Temple University Hospital where he is currently in critical condition.
No arrests have been made. Police continue to investigate.
