A man is hospitalized after a shooting at a hotel in Philadelphia on Tuesday night. It happened shortly after 7 p.m. at the Four Points Sheraton Hotel in the 4100 block of Island Avenue. A 34-year-old man was shot in the face in a fourth floor hallway. He was taken to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania where he is listed in critical but stable condition. A person has been taken into custody.

A former suburban Philadelphia pastor charged with sexually assaulting a girl more than 20 years ago has taken his own life, a week before his trial was set to begin. Sixty-one-year-old Scott Sechrist was found dead of a self-inflicted gunshot wound Monday night inside his home in Bristol Township. Bucks County prosecutor Jennifer Schorn said he left a suicide note maintaining his innocence but she did not elaborate further. Sechrist had served as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Morrisville and allegedly knew the girl’s family from the church. His accuser said the assaults occurred starting in 1989, when she was 9 years old, and continued until 1992. Sechrist was awaiting trial on 20 counts of involuntary deviant sexual intercourse and related counts.

A 17-year veteran of the Philadelphia police force has been dismissed for numerous violations. The internal affairs division has been conducting an ongoing investigation into the actions and the conduct of 39-year old Officer Jeffrey Cujdik. Cujdik served on the Narcotics Field Unit, and knowingly falsified department reports and records in addition to lying about facts during an investigation. Officer Cujdik will be suspended for 30 days with the intent to dismiss.
