Police: Boy, 14, driven to the hospital after being shot in West Oak Lane
PHILADELPHIA - A 14-year-old is in the hospital after being shot in West Oak Lane early Wednesday morning. According to police, the incident happened at a private residence 1900 block of Georgian Road just before 3:30 a.m. Chief Inspector Scott Small says police and paramedics arrived at the residence they received no response at the door and the doors were locked. Police found an open window on the first floor and entered the residence, Small says. According to authorities, blood was found. "There was blood throughout the house on all three floors," Small says. A relative, believed to be the teen's uncle, living in the home told police there were juveniles, including the 14-year-old, in the home, but they did not know where they were. Police say they then learned a 14-year-old shooting victim had been driven to Elkins Park Hospital by his mother. The teen was shot once in his leg and is in stable condition, Small says. According to law enforcement, the teen told police he was walking home and made eye contact with a man who then fired one shot, hitting him in the leg.
