Three of the seven victims were teenagers. At least four of the victims were seriously injured in the violence, police said.

"We've always believed that people (knew) who was involved. We got one of them," said Deputy Commissioner of Investigations Ben Naish on Wednesday.



Police say a second suspect remains at large. Anyone with any information is asked to call police at 215-686-TIPS.

Naish said the teen was captured with help from the Cheltenham Police Department, Norristown Police Department, Montgomery County Probation Department and the Pennsylvania State Police.
