Police in Philadelphia are looking for a suspect after a 19-year-old man was wounded in a shooting on a SEPTA train platform on Monday night, authorities said.
The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. at the 15th and Market SEPTA station across the street from Philadelphia City Hall, FOX29 Philadelphia reported.
Police said the victim was shot in the lower abdomen and rushed to Jefferson University Hospital in critical condition.
The local station reported that, according to law enforcement sources, this is the second time the victim has been shot at that SEPTA station, after previously sustaining a gun shot wound there in October.
