Man wounded in Philly mass shooting now under arrest on murder charges: Police
A 28-year-old man who was wounded in a mass shooting that broke out at a West Philadelphia party early Sunday in which nine people were shot, three fatally, has been arrested and accused of being one of the gunmen involved in the violence, authorities said Tuesday. The suspect, whose name was not immediately released, was charged with three counts of murder and five counts of attempted murder, Philadelphia Deputy Police Commissioner Frank Vanore announced in a statement posted on X. Vanore said detectives with assistance from the Philadelphia district attorney's office "developed evidence to charge one of our shooting victims." Vanore did not comment on the evidence that led police to the suspect. Investigators are continuing work to identify other suspects in the shooting, officials said.
The Philadelphia Eagles Will Trade Jalen Hurts to the Las Vegas Raiders
Howie Roseman is an elite general manager at the NFL level. Time and time again, he performs “salary cap gymnastics” to put the best possible talent on the field for the Philadelphia Eagles. While these moves might seem brilliant in the present moment, the dollars spent always have to be accounted for eventually. The Jalen Hurts contract was a huge signing. The five-year, $255 million deal remains one of the largest contracts ever for an NFL athlete. Signing Hurts to an extension made sense when Roseman put together the offer. But after a disappointing end to last season, is it time for the Eagles to think about their future plans? If so, a Jalen Hurts trade would provide them with cash and salary cap relief, which they could use to extend more of their homegrown talent.

Starting NJ’s School Year In August: Good Or Bad Idea?
Are you ready for the kids to go back to school yet?. Most of the New Jersey school districts don't return to the classroom until after Labor Day. Since it's required by the state for the school year to consist of at least 180 days, if the Garden State did decide to start school in mid-August, that would translate to an earlier start to summer break at the end of the school year. Sources claim it could potentially be a good thing because it would allow for high school students to focus on applying to colleges sooner.
