A 16-year-old boy is in critical but stable condition after being shot several times while walking with a child on a Racine street early Sunday evening. Security camera video that was obtained by the Racine Journal Times shows two gunmen pulling up in a vehicle, jumping out and shooting at the teenager. With the victim already on the ground, several shots were fired by one gunman at point-blank range. The child runs off, appearing to be uninjured. As the gunmen re-enter the vehicle and drive off, a person enters the frame to render aid. The shooting happened on the city's north side on Albert near Marquette.
