Daily News | Activists rally in Strawberry Mansion to stop gun violence after shooting left 7 people wounded
All the victims of the shooting in Strawberry Mansion were in stable condition as of Monday, police said. No arrests had been made, but the stolen getaway car had been found at Poplar Drive, near Girard Avenue, police said.
Shortly before 6 p.m. Thursday, as a group of four teenagers came around the corner of 31st and Norris streets, three masked shooters hopped out of a silver Hyundai and started shooting at the teens.The victims included a 2-year-old girl shot in her thigh; a 13-year-old boy shot in his hand; a 16-year-old boy shot in his arm and leg; another 16-year-old boy shot in his arm; a 17-year-old boy with a graze wound to his thigh; and a 31-year-old woman shot twice in the left leg.
A 15-year-old boy shot twice in the chest and once on the right side of his body was initially reported in critical condition at Temple University Hospital, but was upgraded to stable. “It does stir things up,” said Conley, who still lives in Strawberry Mansion. “It makes you angry, it’s just really upsetting. We can’t even walk the streets without this happening, and it can happen anywhere. It can happen anywhere. We’re not safe anywhere.”
At a short news conference in front of the Blues Babe Foundation on North Broad Street, Jones and other community leaders called on the city to give more money to antiviolence groups. Speakers included Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner and mayoral candidate Helen Gym, a former city councilmember.“Today we assemble as a community, as a collective, to demonstrate our solidarity to end the gun violence in Philadelphia,” Jones said.
