A teenage boy and a man were taken to a hospital Friday morning after they were shot during a robbery in East Germantown, according to the Philadelphia Police Department.<\/p>\n
Around 10:37 a.m., officers responded to East Price Street after receiving reports of a shooting. Police said when they arrived, they found a 16-year-old who had been shot. Officers also found a man on Matthew Street who was suffering from gunshot wounds.<\/p>\n
Neighbors told NBC10 they heard more than 10 gunshots.<\/p>\n
“I just got out of my car. I was on my way into the house and two guys started shooting at each other,” a witness said. “I was scared. I was in the corner scooting down, hoping I didn\u2019t catch the bullet.”<\/p>\n
Police said the teenage boy and the man were both taken to Albert Einstein Medical Center in stable condition.<\/p>\n
NBC10 confirmed with investigators that the shooting was connected to a robbery. Police did not reveal additional details, however. No arrests have been made. <\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s very sad to hear that kind of stuff and especially, it\u2019s not surprising in Philadelphia really, even teens even younger than that 14 we\u2019ve heard stuff like that happening,” a woman who lives in the neighborhood said.<\/p>\n
The investigation is ongoing.<\/p>\n
