A 15-year-old boy and 24-year-old man are hospitalized after a double shooting in Feltonville Monday at the 4700 block of Ella Street. Investigators say the 15-year-old boy was shot in right thigh and is in stable condition. The 24-year-old man was shot in the right hip and is also listed in stable condition.

Police in Wilmington are investigating a shooting after a 56-year-old woman was struck by a stray bullet while sitting on her steps Monday night in the 400 block W. 25th Street. Two unknown men began shooting at an unknown person or persons from the intersection of W. 25th and N. Madison Streets. The woman was sitting on her front steps and was struck in the chest by one of the rounds and is listed in stable condition.

The Nutter administration hosted a public meeting Monday amid rising tensions over proposed renovations to a Queen Village playground that sits atop a historic African American cemetery. About a third of the land that contains the Weccacoe Playground and recreation center, sits atop the remains of roughly 5,000 African Americans. Critics say the kids shouldnâ€™t be stomping on a historical grave site. City officials will meet with the public at the African American Museum at 8th and Arch Streets in Center City at 6:30 p.m. on Monday.
