'Heartbreaking': 7 wounded in Philadelphia shooting near school, including 2-year-old, 5 teens

PHILADELPHIA -- A 2-year-old girl, the child's mother and five teens were injured in a shooting Thursday evening near a school in Philadelphia.

According to police, the shooting happened just before 6 p.m. near the James G. Blaine School in the city's Strawberry Mansion section.

"This has been a fairly quiet portion of the 22nd district for quite some time now," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said. "At this point we're piecing everything together to figure out if this is retaliatory, if some of those victims were intended or not, but it's still really early to tell."

The 2-year-old girl was shot once in the left thigh, police said. She was taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia where she was listed as stable.

A 13-year-old boy was shot in the hand. Police said he was also taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and remained stable.
