Ter? >> Well Sarah, Philadelphia police have their hands full investigating several shootings involving young people as investigators released video of a teen suspected of firing shots at a recreation center on Wednesday. They're also investigating two other shootings involving teens overnight. >> We heard the gunshots. It was about two or three gunshots. What that anonymous neighbor heard was a homicide. Police describing it on radio as they watched it unfold on their realtime crime cameras. >> They uh get involved in some altercation and then they run back towards their camera. >> They found a young man shot in the head on the sidewalk in front of a church. The bullets likely fired at close range. Moments before being shot, the victim had been walking with the two people who are suspected of shooting him. That's when the two shots are fired and the two males the victim was walking with are then seen running. >> Police think the victim was in his mid to late teens. Just the latest incident this week, putting young people in the middle of violence. Wednesday, five people were shot, including four children at Christy Rec Center in West Philadelphia. New video from police shows a person who investigators say is the suspected shooter. He flees the scene ducking into an alley to change his clothes. Police think he is anywhere from 15 to 18 years old. Disheartening to residents concerned about the youth. >> It's different generation. You know, back then is you go out there and fight. Now, you know, people shooting and stuff. >> Overnight, two teens were injured in a different shooting. The 16 and 17year-old boys showed up to the emergency room at St. Christopher's Hospital for Children. Police towed away the car the teens were believed to have been driving. Its back windows shattered. >> Really sad. what's happening in the community with the violence. >> Three separate violent incidents this week with a common thread all involve young people. >> If you put them in a positive environments, things can change. Expose them to more positive activities. That's what I think will will help. >> Now, the only description police have of the two suspects involved in that shooting on Huntington Street is the fact that they were both wearing dark clothing, both males, wearing gloves and masks. Now, police have a lot more to go on in terms of the suspect in the recreation center shooting. You saw that clear video of him.
