    Seven shot, including two-year-old, outside school

    PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Seven people, including five teens and a two-year-old girl, were wounded yesterday in a shooting near a school in Philadelphia, police said.

    The Philadelphia Inquirer reports shots were fired shortly before 6pm in the city’s Strawberry Mansion neighbourhood.

    The two-year-old was listed in stable condition at a hospital. She had been struck in the thigh.

    Five teenage boys were also injured and hospitalised. One, 15, was in critical condition and the rest were stable.

    A seventh victim was a 31-year-old woman, police said. She was also in stable condition.

    A motive was not immediately known and there were no arrests.

    Philadelphia School Board President Reginald Streater said the shooting happened near an elementary school as a non-school event was ending.
