Police: 21-Year-Old Man Killed, 2 Teenagers Injured In Kingsessing Triple Shooting

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- A 21-year-old man is dead and two teenagers were injured in a triple shooting in Philadelphia's Kingsessing neighborhood Monday night. The shooting happened just after 9:30 p.m. at 51st Street and Chester Avenue.

Police say the 21-year-old victim was found in a crashed Mercedes. He was taken to Presbyterian Hospital where he later died.

A 14-year-old and 17-year-old were found shot in a separate car at 52nd and Pine Streets.

"We know that two guns were used, possibly two separate shooters. We don't know which one of these vehicles was an intended target. It appears the Mercedes may have been since it was hit seven times," Philadelphia Police Chief Insp. Scott Small said.

The 17-year-old was shot in the face and is in critical condition.

The 14-year-old is at CHOP in stable condition.

No arrests have been made.
