Philadelphia Police are looking for identify several teenagers or young men seen in a video attacking and robbing a man in North Philly. The attackers filmed the attack themselves and posted the video on Instagram last week. It has since been taken down, but not before it was forwarded to police. The group can be seen walking down the street with the victim walking towards them. One of the attackers sucker punches the man in the face and knocks him out. The group taunts the man while he is on the ground. One of the attackers is seen going through the man's pockets. Police have not heard from the victim. If you have any information contact police at 215.686.TIPS (8477).

UPDATE: This attack happened in October 2019 on the 3100 block of Sheridan Street. Police have identified at least two involved and plan to make arrests.

Philadelphia Police are investigating a triple shooting in the Tioga-Nicetown section on Saturday afternoon. It happened around 4:45 p.m. on the 1800 block of W. Tioga Street. A 17-year-old was shot four times in the back and once in the arm. A 20-year-old was shot once in the thigh and twice in the knee. Another man in his 20s-30s was shot multiple times in the torso. All three were taken to Temple University Hospital in critical condition. No arrests have been made.

Delaware Governor John Carney ordered the closure of all Delaware beaches on Saturday, 3/21. The public is prohibited from going on the beach except to exercise or walk the dog (where permitted). It went into effect at 5 p.m. on Saturday and will last until May 15th or until the coronavirus COVID-19 threat is over. "We need everyone to take this situation seriously. We saw too many people on the beaches yesterday and we weren't seeing the kind of social distancing that we need in order to slow the spread of coronavirus," Governor Carney said Saturday. "This was a difficult decision, but we need folks to follow the rules to keep all Delawareans safe. Don't go out in public unnecessarily. Wash your hands and disinfect surfaces frequently. Stay home, especially if you feel sick and even if you have mild symptoms. We will get through this together."
