GRAYS FERRY (WPVI) -- A 17-year-old boy was seriously injured after a gunman fired into a Chinese restaurant in the Grays Ferry section of Philadelphia.

It happened around 7:15 p.m. Tuesday at the corner of 27th and Dickinson streets.

Police say a group of people in the restaurant were holding the door closed trying to keep the shooter outside.

That is when, police say, he started firing bullets.

One went through the door and struck the teen in the head. He is in critical condition.

No arrests have been made.
