A teenager was shot after a block party in Philadelphia Saturday night. NBC10’s Aundrea Cline-Thomas has the details.
A teen girl is in the hospital after she was shot while attending a Sweet 16 block party in the Oxford Circle section of Philadelphia.
The 15-year-old girl was attending a party along the 5900 block of Horrocks Street at 9:28 p.m. Saturday when a gunman opened fire, striking her in the buttocks. Witnesses told NBC10 they heard what they thought were fire crackers. They then saw the teen girl lying on the sidewalk.
“I said, ‘Do you know your name?’ and she said her nickname or whatever,” said Kai Braxton, a witness. “The paramedic said to put pressure on it. The lady was like, ‘Take my sweater off! Take my sweater off!’ So I took her sweater off.”
The teen was taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital where she is in stable condition. No arrests have been made.
