Two people, including a 16-year-old, were killed in a shootout in an apparent “transaction” gone wrong in Germantown on Tuesday night, Philadelphia police said. <\/p>\n

According to police, the shootout occurred at the 500 block of West Queen Lane at around 5:12 p.m. after some sort of transaction went horribly wrong. <\/p>\n

“We’re not certain what the transaction involved,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. “But we believe they met here for a specific reason.”<\/p>\n

A 30-year-old man and the teen were both found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds at the scene, police said. <\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\"<\/p>\n

Both were taken to the hospital, where the adult was pronounced dead at 5:30 p.m. and the teen was pronounced dead at 5:42 p.m., police said. <\/p>\n

SkyForce10 flew over the scene to find a silver Nissan, which is believed to have been driven by the 30-year-old, who had another passenger with him. <\/p>\n

Surveillance video obtained by NBC10 shows the two in the car drive up to the 16-year-old later killed and another person when, for an unknown reason, the 30-year-old gets out of the car and starts firing. <\/p>\n

An unknown person with the 16-year-old returned fire, leading to the 30-year-old man getting shot multiple times, the video showed.<\/p>\n

The video also showed the shooter fire two more rounds at the 30-year-old after he fell to the ground. <\/p>\n

The video does not appear to show exactly when the 16-year-old got shot. <\/p>\n

The shooter of the 30-year-old is still sought by police. No details about the fourth person involved were immediately available. <\/p>\n

“At the hospital, we recovered a semi-automatic handgun from the 30-year-old victim who died. We did not recover a second handgun,” said Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small. <\/p>\n

Cornelio Mezquita, the owner of the Queen Lane Mini Market, which is adjacent to the shooting location, said the incident is a shock to him.<\/p>\n

“I’ve been here for 21 years and never happened in this area,” he said. “A very, very quiet area. It’s really sad.”<\/p>\n

Anyone with any information on the incident is urged to contact the Philadelphia Police Department at 215-686-TIPS (8477) or anonymously online here.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Two people, including a 16-year-old, were killed in a shootout in an apparent “transaction” gone wrong in Germantown…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":57048,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[14780,69,71,70],"class_list":["post-57047","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-philadelphia","tag-germantown","tag-philadelphia","tag-philadelphia-headlines","tag-philadelphia-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57047","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=57047"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/57047\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/57048"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=57047"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=57047"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=57047"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
