A Philadelphia police officer is recovering from a bullet wound to the head today after a shootout overnight in the Tacony section that left the suspect dead. Police responded to a call on the 6400 block of Ditman Street for a heavy set man with a gun. As soon as police arrived, he opened fire on them. Police returned fire killing him. The wounded officer was treated and released from Albert Einstein Medical Center.

SEPTA has launched a crackdown on fare jumpers who ride subways and trains every day without paying. New security cameras and a communication system is being used to identify and fine people who ride without paying. The fine for jumping the $2.25 fare is $300. In 2011, 416 fare jumpers were fined. In the first six months of this year, 2,300 summons have been issued thanks to the improved program.
