1 teen dead, 1 critical after shooting near high school in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- One teen is dead and another is injured after a shooting in Philadelphia's Olney neighborhood early Monday morning.

Police believe there are possibly two scenes connected to this shooting.

The first scene is where Action News is told the shooting happened at 2:30 a.m. on the 200 block of East Duncannon Avenue at the intersection of A Street.

The second scene is next to the athletic fields of Olney High School.

Officers are focusing on searching around the intersection of the first location, and are knocking on doors along the block.

A 16-year-old boy was shot in the head. He was taken to Temple University Hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The other victim, who is also a 16-year-old boy, suffered gunshot wounds to the ear and left shoulder. He was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, where he was placed in critical condition.

More than 20 shell casings were recovered at the scene, police said.

"It does appear that they were both shot at close range. It does appear that they were targeted," said Inspector D.F. Pace, with the Philadelphia Police Department.

Action News has learned the second scene is possibly tied to another double shooting that happened about a mile and a half away over at Whitacker Avenue and East Hunting Park.

Police blocked off a crashed car at that location.

Investigators say they are looking for four male suspects who fled in an SUV. They're still working on getting a description of the suspects and the vehicle.

There has been no word yet on what led up to the shooting and no arrests have been made at this time.
