The data includes at least 11 children under the age of 10. The youngest, a seven-month-old baby boy, died after being shot in the abdomen in February, during a shooting that also killed his mother.The most recent shooting involving a child happened Wednesday night, when a six-year-old girl was shot in the chest. Police told CNN Friday that the girl was in stable condition at Temple University Hospital, and no arrests had been made.
However, while the data lists as non-fatal the shooting of a seven-year-old boy in the head on August 1, a police press release three days later indicates that the boy died shortly after the shooting.Dave Kinchen, spokesperson for Philadelphia's Office of Violence Prevention said in a statement that the city government was"heartbroken by the increased violence.
