1 person killed, 4 others injured in Fairmount Park shooting

One person was killed and four others injured, including a 14-year-old boy and two 15-year-old boys, in a shooting Friday evening in Fairmount Park, adjacent to the city's Strawberry Mansion neighborhood, police said.

The shooting happened around 10:50 p.m. in the park along Greenland Drive near 33rd Street and Ridge Avenue. Police said there was a crowd of about 100 juveniles in the area when the gunfire erupted.

A person described only as a woman was pronounced dead about 20 minutes later at Temple University Hospital, police said. She had been shot in the chest and shoulder.

The 14-year-old boy, who was possibly shot twice, was transported by medics to Temple University Hospital. The boy's condition was not immediately available.

Police said a third person was injured in the same shooting, but no further information about that victim was available.

Shortly after the shooting, a 15-year-old boy with a gunshot wound to the leg showed up at Temple. The boy said he was shot a few blocks away, but police believed he may have been among the victims shot in or near the park.

About a half hour later, a 15-year-old boy reported being shot in the leg at a gas station near the scene of the shooting. His condition was not available.

Police reported no arrests.
