A teen boy is fighting for his life after he was shot in Philadelphia.
The 13-year-old boy was outside with neighbors along the 2200 block of North Woodstock Street at 7:19 p.m. Saturday. The boy went into a nearby home to grab his jacket. When he didn't return outside, his brother went into the home to look for him.
The brother then found the 13-year-old boy unresponsive in the hallway with a gunshot wound to the head, police said. He was taken to the hospital where he is in extremely critical condition.
No arrests have been made and police have not yet revealed what led to the shooting.
