PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A 3-year-old girl was critically wounded in a shooting in northwest Philadelphia over the weekend, authorities said.

The child was taken to the hospital by private vehicle after the shooting occurred in the East Germantown neighborhood, police said. The girl was being airlifted to St. Christopher’s Hospital for Children and listed in “extremely critical condition.”
