A teen wanted by police was hospitalized after being shot on Wednesday night, according to the Philadelphia Police Department. <\/p>\n
Officers on patrol reported hearing a gunshot go off in the area of North Sydenham Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue in North Philadelphia at 8 p.m. on Nov. 4. <\/p>\n
Then, a 17-year-old boy ran up to the officers saying he was shot in the leg, Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said. <\/p>\n
The officers rushed the teen to a nearby hospital where he was placed in stable condition. <\/p>\n
Witnesses told police that a person wearing all dark clothing and a face mask approached the teenager before firing one gunshot. <\/p>\n
The shooter was then seen walking southbound along Sydenham Street away from Cecil B. Moore. <\/p>\n
Investigators found one fragment from the gunshot at the scene and are using surveillance footage from nearby homes as part of their investigation. <\/p>\n
