Police say another teenager has been shot and killed in Philadelphia, the third teen in two days.

Police said the 17-year-old youth was shot in the chest near a recreation center in the Kingsessing neighborhood of southwest Philadelphia at about 8 p.m. Friday.

The shooting occurred almost exactly 24 hours after 16-year-old Kahree Simmons was shot and killed at a west Philadelphia recreation center.

A 15-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy sustained graze wounds.

Earlier Thursday afternoon in a different part of west Philadelphia, 17-year-old Tamir Brown was among four people shot in an Overbrook Park parking lot.

A man was also killed.
