A teenager is fighting for his life after he was shot in front of a popular boxing gym in Philadelphia’s Kensington neighborhood.
The 18-year-old was walking with another teen into the Front Street Gym along the 2000 block of East Clearfield Street at 5:10 p.m. Tuesday when a gunman opened fire.
The 18-year-old was shot once in the lower back and taken to Temple University Hospital where he is in extremely critical condition. The other teen was not hurt in the shooting.
Police said the victim is a recent graduate of Roman Catholic High School.
No arrests have been made. Police said the gunman fired at least 12 rounds.
The Front Street Gym was named one of “Boxing’s Most Famous Gyms” by ESPN.com and was founded in 1980. Scenes for the 2015 “Rocky” spinoff and sequel “Creed” were filmed at the gym.
