PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- A second teenager has been taken into custody after a shooting last week at the Dilworth Park ice rink in Center City that left three other teens wounded, one critically.

Philadelphia police said Wednesday that search warrants were served for two 14-year-old suspects in this case. One of those suspects was taken into custody, while the other 14-year-old is now being sought.

This follows the arrest of yet another 14-year-old. That teen was taken into custody shortly after the shooting on Friday afternoon.

All are being charged with aggravated assault and other offenses.

Police say about four to five gunshots rang out around 4:30 p.m. following an argument involving several juveniles.
