- Two teenagers were hospitalized after police say they were injured in two different shootings Sunday.

Police say a 15-year-old girl was shot once in her stomach on the 2500 block of North 29th Street at around 4:49 p.m.

She was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital for Children by medics where she was placed in stable condition.

Just hours later, at around 7:30 p.m., police say a 15-year-old boy sustained two gunshot wounds, one in his left arm and the other in his right finger. The incident occurred on the 100 block of East Erie Avenue.

He was taken to St. Christopher's Hospital via private vehicle, where he was placed in stable condition.

For both incidents, no weapons were recovered, and no arrests were made.

Both are ongoing investigations.

An Australian woman accused of smuggling amphetamines in a suitcase appeared in a Japanese court on Monday nearly two years after her arrest, saying she is innocent and that she was tricked into carrying them as part of an online romance scam.

Nelson, 58, said she received the suitcase from an acquaintance of a man she met on social media and brought it from Laos to Tokyo as instructed.
