BREAKING: Suspect on the Loose; Schuylkill Expressway Closed

6abc.jpgThe Schuylkill Expressway was reopened before noon, but for at least an hour this morning the police closed down the westbound lanes while they searched the area for a suspect who had fled on foot from an accident site that was the end result of a car chase. The only description we've got is "a black male wearing a tan shirt with a black shirt beneath," but the guy is wanted for a firearms violation, so definitely keep your distance if you think you see him; he may be armed. He was last seen heading toward the train tracks beneath the Falls Bridge. Police now suspect he may have hopped a slow train out of there, but they're not sure. Be careful, folks, and expect delays on your way home.
