PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Authorities say a shootout in a Philadelphia neighborhood left a man and a teenager wounded.

The shots rang out around 7 p.m. Monday. Authorities say it’s not clear if the wounded people were targeted or innocent bystanders.

A 48-year-old man was shot in the back, while a 16-year-old was hit in the shoulder. Both were hospitalized in stable condition, but their names were not disclosed.



Surveillance video shows two groups of men were involved in the shootout. Two men are seen firing numerous shots from inside a Chinese food take-out business, and roughly two dozen shell casings were found scattered on the ground.

A stray bullet also shattered the rear window of a minivan that was passing by with four women and an infant inside. They were not hurt.
