PHILADELPHIA -- Helicopters started circling overhead about 4:30 Monday afternoon just as Frankford High School's football practice was wrapping up.
Coach Bill Systma knew what it meant -- helicopters have appeared before -- and his fears were confirmed when he got off the field and checked his phone.
"Here a 17-year-old was shot in his car around the corner from where we were practicing today. We're around this stuff all the time," Systma said. "This is a person who is our kids' age and I have a feeling tomorrow, my guys are going to know the person, or even worse, it might be a student from our school.
