Police said Wednesday that they are searching for five shooters who ambushed a group of teens outside a Philadelphia high school.
Nicholas Elizalde, of suburban Havertown, was killed in the ambush as he and the other teens walked away from an athletic field at Roxborough High School shortly after 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, authorities said. Philadelphia Police Captain Jason Smith said during a news conference Wednesday that police believe Elizalde was not the intended target of the shooters.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Ottawa SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
Smith said police were looking into several possible motives, including a fight that occurred in the lunchroom earlier in the day Tuesday. Smith said the 17-year-old, who police say was one of two teens they believe to have been the shooters’ targets, does not attend Roxborough High and is not on the football team with the other victims. Police had earlier said all the victims were members of the football team.
Kenney said Wednesday that shootings like the one Tuesday cause “irreparable harm” to schools, families and communities especially when they occur in places otherwise thought to be safe spaces. Alex Torres, whose 14-year-old brother was injured in the shooting, told WPVI-TV that his stepmother called to tell him about the shooting and that he rushed to the school.
