Teen shoots friend in stomach

A 16-year-old boy shot his 13-year-old friend in the stomach as the pair walked to a Hunting Park corner store last night.

No charges have been filed as investigators sort out the details this morning.

The incident happened just before 8 p.m. at Erie Avenue and Marvine Street, said Officer Christine O'Brien, a police spokeswoman. The 13-year-old victim remains in stable condition at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children, O'Brien added. The 16-year-old, who had pulled the gun from his waistband, remained on the scene after the shooting, she said.
