The 16-year-old boy -- whose identity was not released -- was hospitalized in critical condition since being shot while he was walking in the 1000 block of Spring Street Monday, Reading police said.

A second boy was left with non-life-threatening injuries.

Police say the incident appears to be targeted at the boys and not a random incident.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anyone with information relative to the incident is asked to call the Reading Police Department at 610-655-6116 or contact Crime Alert Berks County at 877-373-9913.
