The boy was walking home from elementary school when he was shot by a stray bullet.
Jorge L. OrtizThe shooting of a 10-year-old boy walking home from school is the latest tragedy in the escalating problem of violent crime in Philadelphia.
Police released pictures of the car after obtaining surveillance video of the gunfire, which happened at 3:13 p.m. near where the boy lives. Hours earlier, Mayor Jim Kenney had called for stricter federal and state gun-control laws to help cities counter violent crime. “Folks have just had enough,’’ acting Police Commissioner Christine Coulter told TV station WPVI. “There’s never an excuse to open fire in an area a block from a school where kids are out there. It should never happen.’’
