Three gunmen injure seven, including six children, near Philadelphia school.

Six of those shot, including five children, were taken to area hospitals. The seventh person to be shot was a 17-year-old boy. A bullet seem to have grazed by him and he was also sent to a local hospital. Others injured in the shooting include a two-year-old girl, her 31-year-old mother, two 16-year-old boys, a 15-year-old boy and a 13-year-old boy.

Philadelphia Police are searching for three gunmen linked to the incident that happened around 6 pm. All of them were standing at the intersection of 31st and Norris streets when a car pulled up next to them and three men with guns stepped out and started firing.

"There were some people inside of a vehicle, some people on the sidewalk, when the shooters approached," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said. "We don't believe that all of the victims at this point were intended targets."

Speaking to the media, Commissioner Outlaw expressed anger at the fact that "our shooters are getting younger and younger. Our victims are getting younger and younger. And they have guns". 

"If you know that this young person has a gun, of course it's illegal, in your home, you can report that. You can do that anonymously. You can call 911, whatever it is. But we have to get the guns out of the hands of these young people. Be nosy. Know what your young people are doing."
