Police have made an arrest in the the murder of a Malvern, PA man. The Chester County District Attorney's Office has identified the suspect as 24-year-old Merritt Dudas. They say he is a longtime friend and neighbor of the victim, 21-year-old Drew Ferguson. Ferguson was found shot dead in his apartment Monday, upstairs in his grandparent's garage on 222 Miner Street. Authorities believe it happened during a dispute over drugs. Dudas used a handgun belonging to his girlfriend's father.

A 17-year-old was injured after being thrown from a car in Wayne this afternoon. It happened in the parking lot of Archbishop Carroll High School at 2:15pm. The student was standing on the running board of his friend's SUV when he fell off and suffered a head injury. The teen was medevaced from a nearby field to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. The injuries were not life threatening.

Today is the 150th Anniversary of the Gettysburg Address. It was given by President Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of Soldier's National Cemetery four and a half months after the Union army defeated the Confederates in the bloody Battle at Gettysburg. Thousands gathered again today to reenact that day in Gettysburg, PA, including reading aloud the the short (271 words) but poignant speech:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task­ remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.



Tonight, clear skies temperatures in the 40's this evening in Center City
