PHILADELPHIA - A teenage boy is facing charges after authorities say he opened fire on a car full of teenage girls after one of the passengers pepper-sprayed a group of young men who surrounded their car Friday night in North Philadelphia.
Police Captain John Walker told reporters that the girl's car turned onto the 1500 block of Cecil B. Moore Avenue just before 10 p.m.
when one of the passengers became involved in a conversation with a teen standing on the sidewalk. As one of the boys approached the car to get the girl's phone number, Walker said a group of 7-8 others approached the car.
Initial police information said some group members reached into the car and tried to prevent the girls from rolling up the car windows.
