The 12-year-old shot in the northwest of Philadelphia, says the police NBC10 Philadelphia

A 12-year-old boy was recorded in the northwest of Philadelphia on Saturday, while filming a music video in the northwest of Philadelphia, the police said.

The police reacted around 12:30 p.m. in the 1500 Block of the East Pastorius Street, where they found the young victim with gunshot wounds in a house.

The uns -identified victim was taken to the hospital, where it was declared dead at 12.51 p.m., the police said.

According to the authorities, the boy filmed a music video with two others, a 15-year-old and 17-year-old when the shooting took place.

It is unclear which teenager fired the weapon and it is unclear whether the shootout was intended or accidental, the police said.

The music video recorded is available and takes into account evidence, said civil servants.

“We are in possession of this video,” said the police inspector of Philadelphia, DF Pace. “But there must be arrest warrants to access this information.”

The police also found some other weapons at the scene, including a BB weapon, said Pace.

“How this live weapon got there is examined,” he added.

At the time of the shootout, family members were also questioned in the house, said the police.

Neighbors say that they are shocked by the shootings, especially so close to Mother's Day.

“The videos I think are so violent,” said Deborah Hankins. “And these children, I don't understand, I was brought up that you don't play with weapons.”

The examination has not yet been completed and everyone with information is requested to call the police tip hotline in Philadelphia under 215-686 tips (8477).
