The teen was transported to Temple University Hospital and placed in critical condition.

No arrests have been made.

The Philadelphia School District says the teen is a student at Vaux Big Picture High School at 24th and Master Streets. The shooting occurred off property and after school.

Officials believe the drive-by shooting is related to a neighborhood feud.

"Unfortunately, these young men are making bad decisions when anger comes across them and they're not directing this anger properly," Philadelphia Police Capt. Nashid Akil said.

Police are looking for a Nissan Altima or Maxima.
