Welcome To Philadelphia

". . . If You're Not Armed, Please Leave The City Immediately." - Billboard at Philly's city limits. CBS 3) PHILADELPHIA A wave of violence left six people dead throughout Philadelphia over the weekend. Someone tell Captain America that he needs to update his Murder Meter! Let's start the countdown, shall we? 1. Police said the latest homicide occurred on the 6200 block of Morton Street in Germantown at about 2:45 a.m. Monday. The victim, a 29-year-old male, was pronounced dead at the scene with multiple gunshot wounds to the chest. 2. Just after 2:30 a.m. Saturday, police said a 15-year-old male was shot and killed on the 6300 block of Callowhill Street. 3. Hours later, authorities said a 16-year-old male was killed during a robbery in Tacony Creek Park. 4. The body of a woman inside a Wynnefield Heights home Saturday after concerned family and friends told authorities she had been missing for several days. Firefighters discovered the body of a 24-year-old woman in a home on the 3700 block of Conshohocken Avenue. The woman's boyfriend reportedly confessed to the violent crime. 5. Early Sunday morning, the body of a woman was found ablaze along the 2400 block of Strawberry Mansion Drive in Fairmount Park. Investigators said the woman's hands were tied before she was placed in a burning pile of trash. 6. And this is the one I enjoyed: An officer was forced to open fire on an armed suspect after responding to reports of a domestic dispute near 5th and Clearfield Streets Sunday evening. The suspect was pronounced dead at Temple University Hospital. Investigators are trying to determine whether the suspect fatally shot himself or was killed when the officer discharged his weapon. Next time, don't point a gun at a police officer. Oh wait, I guess there won't be a "next time" for him.
