Boy and girl shot in gym

A BOY and a girl hanging out with a group of fellow students in a high school gym in Philadelphia in the United States, were shot and wounded Friday afternoon, police said.

One boy originally thought to have been involved was captured near his home but was questioned and cleared Friday night, police said. A second boy turned himself in and a third was being sought.

The shooting happened at the Delaware Valley Charter High School in north Philadelphia around 3pm.

Surveillance video shows seven students hanging around in the gym, police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said. It was unclear if the shooting was intentional, but it “doesn’t look like an active shooter type of situation,” he said.

The boy and girl were both shot in an arm. The pair, both 15, were taken to hospital. The girl was discharged Friday night, and the boy was listed in stable condition, said police.
