Video After The Jump
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Police said Wednesday that they are searching for 5 shooters who ambushed a group of teens outside a Philadelphia high school killing 1 14-year-old & wounding 4 other teenagers after a football scrimmage.
Nicholas Elizalde was killed in the ambush as he & the other teens walked away from an athletic field at Roxborough High School shortly after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday. Philadelphia Police Captain Jason Smith said during a news conference Wednesday that police believe Elizalde was not the intended target of the shooters.
Smith said the shooters sat in a parked SUV for about 6 minutes waiting for the teens to round the corner behind the school. When they did, 5 shooters — who Smith said also appeared to be juveniles — got out of the car & began firing. One person remained in the car.
“Most if not all of the offenders appear to be juveniles themselves. Nonetheless, they are obviously very dangerous individuals & the need is great to have them identified & taken off the streets as quickly as possible,” Smith said.
One of the shooters chased a 17-year-old victim down the street, striking him in the leg & arm. The shooter then stood over the teen & tried to empty his gun, but Smith said he had either run out of bullets or the gun had jammed.
