A couple of unrelated incidents involving firearms took place early yesterday morning in Philadelphia. In the first incident, a retired Philly cop working as a pizza delivery man was accosted by three teenagers, one of whom pointed a gun at him while the other two went through his pockets. But the retired cop was able to reach into his pocket and pull out a semiautomatic Glock, which he had a permit to carry. He shot the boy with the gun once in the chest, killing him. The other two would-be robbers ran off. The deliveryman will most likely not be charged in the incident. A few hours later, officers approaching a group of robbery suspects thought they saw a gun in one of the suspects' waistbands and told him to freeze. He reached for the weapon and one of the officers fired his gun into the sidewalk, causing bullet fragments to strike the 17-year-old suspect. He's in stable condition, and a 14-year-old was also apprehended, but the third suspect ran off.
"The traditional battle of the budget opens today with the first in a series of City Council hearings on Mayor Nutter's five-year plan."
The Delaware River Port Authority plans on spending $25 million on inspections and paint jobs on its bridges between Philadelphia and South Jersey. Public meetings will probably begin in March to discuss the possibility of raising bridge tolls to pay for the work. Tolls could rise as much as $2; the alternative is to raise tolls a smaller amount each year based on inflation.
