Four men and a teenage boy were shot Thursday afternoon in the Ogontz section of North Philadelphia, just 24 hours after six police officers were shot in a gun battle that terrorized the Tioga neighborhood — on the very same street, two miles away.
Shortly before 4:30 p.m., police responded to reports of multiple people shot in the area of 15th and Conlyn Streets. One man was shot in the head and back, and was listed in critical condition. A 17-year-old suffered a gunshot wound to a hand. All the victims were taken to Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia.
