Spring Garden teen arrested in double shooting

Radeem Corley, 17, was arrested Thursday after allegedly spraying a block of Myrtlewood Street in Strawberry Mansion with bullets, wounding two 13-year-old girls during a neighborhood gathering, police said.

Cops responded to the shooting on Myrtlewood Street near Cumberland around 6 p.m. and took the two teenage victims to Temple University Hospital.

One was shot in her eye and was listed in critical condition. The second victim was shot in her neck, chest and stomach and was listed in stable condition Thursday night.

The circumstances behind the shooting remained unclear Friday night.

Corley is charged with two counts each of attempted murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, weapons violations and additional offenses, police said.

He's being held in the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, and his bail has been set at $2 million, according to court documents.

He is scheduled to appear June 13 for a preliminary hearing.
