With Philadelphia's Puerto Rican Day parade and festival less than a week away, Deputy Commissioner Kevin Bethel says he wants to put parade and festival goers on notice that bad behavior wonâ€™t be tolerated in any part of the city. He especially pointed to two, alcohol-free, after-parade celebration areas which are being set up Sunday, September 28 at Fairhill Park and Lighthouse Field saying if anyone comes through the thing with an ATV or a dirt bike, they will be taking them. Bethel also warned that hanging out of moving cars, spinning and screeching tires, and occupying intersections in unauthorized celebrations will also bring a firm police response.

Pennsylvaniaâ€™s gubernatorial candidatesâ€™ first debate is tonight. Republican Governor Tom Corbett and Democratic challenger Tom Wolf are to square off at a Pennsylvania Chamber of Commerce and Industry dinner in Hershey. This is the first of three events agreed to by the candidates. The others will be on Oct. 1 in Philadelphia and Oct. 8 in Pittsburgh.

Police in Newark say a pair of University of Delaware students were robbed at gunpoint on campus last Saturday night. The two students were walking on South College Avenue near Winslow Road around 7:30 p.m. when the suspect approached them and pulled out a black handgun. He then took both studentsâ€™ cell phones, and ran away down Winslow Road. Police say there is no surveillance video available, but the victims described the suspect as being a black male between 20 and 25-years-old, about 5â€™8â€³ tall with a muscular build. He had short, black hair and a goatee, and was wearing a light-colored T-shirt and jeans.
