Northeast Times describes similar incidents.
Two youths were injured in separate shootings in East Frankford and Oxford Circle last week.
A 19-year-old man was shot during an argument around 10:20 p.m. Thursday outside a home in the 1900 block of Bridge St. The victim, whose name was not released, suffered wounds to the left arm and hip. He was taken to Frankford Hospital’s Frankford Division, where he was listed in stable condition as the Times went to press.
One 17-year-old suspect surrendered to police on Saturday, said Lt. Mark Burgman of Northeast Detectives. The suspect, who is being held on $100,000 bail, is charged with conspiracy to attempt murder, aggravated assault, violation of the Uniform Firearms Act, possession of an instrument of crime, simple assault and reckless endangerment. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for Monday.
On Friday, a 16-year-old boy was shot during a robbery at around 2 a.m. at Tarken Playground in the 1000 block of Levick St. The youth suffered gunshot wounds to the right arm and was taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children. Updates on his condition were not available at press time.
No suspects have been arrested in the case.
