PHILADELPHIA (AP) - A 3-year-old boy shot and wounded in Philadelphia is expected to recover from his injuries, authorities said.

But it’s still not known what sparked the shooting, which occurred inside a building around 7:45 p.m. Friday.

The boy was shot once in the right hand and once in the arm, authorities said. He was taken to a hospital and remained there Saturday in stable condition. His name has not been released.



No other injuries were reported in the shooting, which remains under investigation.
