Eight teens are hurt in a mass shooting at a Philadelphia bus stop, with one critically

Police reported that eight teenagers were shot more than 30 times as they boarded a bus in Northeast Philadelphia on Wednesday afternoon. One victim is in critical condition, according to authorities.

The victims, aged between 15 and 17, were shot while getting onto a bus near a Dunkin' shop around 3 p.m. Police Commissioner Kevin Bethel stated that the three suspects, who fired at the teenagers from a parked car, are still on the loose.

"It's hard to sit here and see that in three days we have had 11 juveniles shot while going and coming from school," Bethel said at a press conference following the incident.

Authorities revealed that the 16-year-old boy in critical condition sustained nine gunshot wounds to the torso. The other victims, six boys and one girl, are all in stable condition.
