A 15-year-old boy was charged with murdering a man in a shooting attack in the US city of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, local media reported Saturday, citing police.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The suspect is accused of shooting the 25-year-old man in one of two reportedly unrelated homicides in the city on late Friday, according to PennLive news outlet.

On Friday, three people were killed and nine others were injured in a shooting at a Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in Colorado.
