A 12-year-old boy has died after he was shot in the head inside a North Philadelphia home.
According to authorities, the shooting happened on the 3100 block of North 33rd Street Saturday night, a little after 9 p.m.
Officials say the victim was taken by a private vehicle to Temple University Hospital, where he was initially placed in critical condition. He died a short time later. Philadelphia Police Captain Anthony Ginaldi said a preliminary investigation revealed the 12-year-old and his 14-year-old cousin were unsupervised in an upstairs bedroom, reportedly recording a video, when the 14-year-old shot the 12-year-old.
The resident of the home, a 27-year-old registered security guard, took the 12-year-old to Temple to be treated for his injuries. Captain Ginaldi went on to say the 27-year-old, also a cousin to the two boys, was taken into custody.Tips can be submitted by calling 215-686-TIPS or texting PPD TIP .
