He was sitting in a car around 4 p.m. outside a home on the 5800 block of Penn Street (near Van Kirk Street) when two armed men jumped out of a van, police said. The suspects surrounded the car and opened fire.

Capt. John Walker, of the 15th Police District, said one man shot from the passenger’s side window while the other fired through the driver’s side.
