Police took the boy to Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he was reported in critical condition Saturday.
The search continued for the gunman, who fled east on Market, police said. No weapons had been recovered.
Two days earlier, a man and a woman were shot inside SEPTA’s Snyder Station on the Broad Street Line in South Philadelphia during what police said was also an argument. The suspected gunman was apprehended at 15th and Wolf Streets a short time later, police said. SEPTA spokesman Andrew Busch referred questions about Friday’s shooting, which occurred just before 10:30 p.m., to Philadelphia police. The teen became the 16th child shot this month and one of more than 50 children shot this year in the city.
