“He had just walked to the store to go get something and then we heard 15 shots and then they say my baby was laying out there on the ground de@d,” she said. “They k!lled him.” Rains claimed that her grandson was planning to leave Philadelphia and join the Job Corps in order to get away from the city’s violence.

“My grandson didn’t deserve this,” she said. “He just turned 17. He didn’t deserve that at all. He didn’t. He didn’t. He was a good kid.” So far, neither weapons nor suspects have been apprehended. No suspect descriptions have been made public by the police.
One of the youngsters, police say, may have been the intended v!ctim. “At this point it looks like one of the juveniles that was struck may also have been in possession of a firearm,” Philadelphia Police First Deputy Commissioner John Stanford stated. We haven’t been able to verify that yet.
