Philadelphia Rec Center Gun Ban, PA Liquor Privatization, Hatfield Stab Suspect Sought

Philadelphia City Council committee last week approved a measure proposed by Council president Darrell Clarke that calls on the mayor to create regulations that would ban outright any firearms in the parks or at recreation centers, even if the guns are legal. Mike Resnick, the city's public safety director, says that with 54 shootings at rec centers since 2010, the administration supports the ban.

The odds are shrinking that any liquor privatization plan and the complete elimination of state stores may clear the legislature. Governor Corbett says he still prefers the entire elimination of state stores, and also indicated he would not rule out consideration of an alternative plan sent to him by the legislature. A committee vote on a liquor bill is expected next week, and a floor vote could come later that week.

Police are looking for a man wanted in the attempted murder of a Hatfield Township woman early Sunday morning along the 300 block of Wheatfield Circle in Hatfield. Police say a 33-year-old woman was attacked with a knife by 49-year-old Thomas Young, a member of her family. Authorities would not say how the two are related.
