PHILADELPHIA -

The search is on for two men who raped a young girl in West Philadelphia.

Investigators say it happened around 8:30 p.m. Saturday behind an abandoned home on the 4100 block of Cambridge Street.

Police say the 11-year-old girl was walking alone when she was attacked.

According to residents, the neighborhood was filled with the sounds of people and kids at play during a block party.

Broken police tape now drapes the scene of the cowardly crime.

The little girl was taken to Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She has been treated and released.

As for the suspects, there's a vague description. They're said to be between the ages of 20 and 30. One was wearing a yellow shirt with light denim shorts. The other had on a white T-shirt with black cargo pants. If you have any information, call police.

FOX 29's Omari Fleming reports that there is outrage and frustration in the West Philly community, and neighbors are out for blood.

    An armed deli robbery is caught on camera. Two brazen gunmen held up the store owner with the man's kids right nearby. It's scary enough having armed gunmen storm your business.
