"A coincidence that there were two shootings a half a block apart from each other, 15 minutes apart," Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small said.
The first shooting took place just before 10:30 p.m. Thursday along the 3100 block of G Street -- just off the 800 block of East Allegheny Avenue, Small said. Responding officers found a 15-year-old girl shot in both of her thighs, a parked car with bullet holes and evidence that at least 14 shots were fired, Small said. The girl was rushed to the hospital where she was treated in critical condition. Small said she is"expected to survive.""She may have been struck by stray gunfire," Small said.As police were investigating the G Street shooting of the girl, they heard gunshots coming from less than half a block away, Small said.
