Trial ordered for 4 in ambush shooting outside Philly school

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A judge has ordered four suspects to stand trial in an ambush shooting outside a Philadelphia high school that killed a 14-year-old and wounded four other teenagers after a football scrimmage last fall. At Tuesday’s preliminary hearing, prosecutors presented evidence they said tied the adult and juvenile suspects to the Sept. 27 shooting outside of Roxborough High School. Two others are being sought. Authorities said five people jumped from a parked SUV and opened fire on teens who were walking away from an athletic field at the high school. Fourteen-year-old Nicholas Elizalde of suburban Havertown was killed and several other teens were wounded.
