A 14-year-old boy was injured Thursday night in a shooting at a North Philly home that appears to be accidental, Philadelphia Police Department Chief Inspector Scott Small said.<\/p>\n
The shooting happened just before 6 p.m. on the 1500 block of North 17th Street on the third-floor bedroom of the home.<\/p>\n
The 14-year-old was shot in the stomach and taken to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children, where he was placed in stable condition, according to Small.<\/p>\n
Small said there were about 15 people, including teenagers and young adults, on the third floor handling a gun when it discharged and struck the 14-year-old in the abdomen. Another 14-year-old was allegedly handling the gun when it fired, and he fled the scene, according to Small.<\/p>\n
Investigators at the scene found one spent shell casing and a trail of blood on the third floor of the home, Small said.<\/p>\n
Small said the alleged shooter and the 14-year-old who was shot know each other. Police are currently interviewing people who were in the property and witnessed the shooting.<\/p>\n
Small said police also found cameras on 17th Street that they plan to use in their investigation.<\/p>\n
