Police on Thursday released surveillance video of four men believed to have been involved in a double shooting that wounded a 7-year-old girl in Kensington this week.

About 8:40 p.m. Tuesday, police responded to a report of a shooting on the 3500 block of Emerald Street. The girl, who was shot in the back, was taken by private vehicle to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children in stable condition. A 23-year-old man who was shot in an arm was taken by police to Temple University Hospital, also in stable condition.

The surveillance video shows four suspects getting out of a maroon-and-silver vehicle just before the shooting. They then get back inside and drive away.

The girl's mother told CBS3 on Wednesday that her daughter was recovering at home. Police have not released the victims' names.
