Teen killed, another teen injured in double shooting in Philadelphia

UPDATE: The shooting was one of several that occurred in Philadelphia Thursday evening and Friday morning. More details on the shootings, as well as the names of two of the victims, here.

A teenager was killed while another teen is recovering following a double shooting in Philadelphia early Thursday evening. 

The shooting occurred in a courtyard along the 300 block of Montrose Street at 5:30 p.m. A 19-year-old man was shot three times in the shoulder, once in the back, once in the leg and three times in the head. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead at 6:09 p.m. 

Another 19-year-old man was shot once in the leg. He was taken to the hospital where he was listed in stable condition.

Police say more than 75 shots were fired in a neighborhood that typically doesn't see this type of violence.

"It’s a pretty large scene. We have over 75 spent shell casings. So, we know over 75 shots were fired by what appears to be two separate caliber weapons," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.

Police say bullets pierced through nearby cars and homes with children inside. No other injuries were reported.

Small said they believe the 19-year-old killed was the target. Both the victims are not from the neighborhood and police do not know the motive at this time.

No arrests have been made and no weapons have been recovered. Police have not released information on any suspects. 

Entering Thursday, there were at least 280 homicides reported so far this year in Philadelphia, according to data released by Philadelphia police. That's down 20% from the same time last year, but still on pace to be one of the deadliest years since data began being tabulated in 2007.
