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 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.

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.

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.
