Some neighborhoods weren’t meant to have movie theaters…
(CBS 3) PHILADELPHIA Police said a teen is fighting for his life and another is under arrest following a shooting outside a recently opened movie theater in North Philadelphia.
Authorities said a 17-year-old male was arrested Thursday in connection to the shooting of a 16-year-old male outside the Pearl Theater near Broad Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue one block away from campus of Temple University.
The victim, identified as Kyle McCreary, was rushed to Hahnemann University Hospital with a gunshot wound to the groin and remains in critical condition.
“There were roughly six gunshots, basically it was commotion, everyone started to get scared and run,” said neighbor Jeff Thomas.
Police believe the shooting was in retaliation against one group of teens that had been bullying another.
Jesus Christ…
The violence upset neighbors who were thrilled when the new entertainment center opened several days ago. The $100-million complex is the first new movie house in North Philadelphia in 60 years.
