PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Authorities say a teenager awaiting trial in a homicide escaped outside a hospital next to the University of Pennsylvania and was being sought, warning he was considered dangerous. Police said 17-year-old Shane Pryor fled just before noon Wednesday outside the emergency room at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, where he had been taken with a hand injury. He was then seen entering buildings, and police were searching those and nearby parking structures. Pryor was 14 when he was charged in an October 2020 homicide and has been in a juvenile facility ever since, charged with murder, conspiracy and firearms crimes. His attorney said he has always maintained his innocence.
