The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile crashed into a pole on Sunday in Central Pennsylvania. The iconic vehicle is one of 6 full size dogs in the Oscar Mayer fleet of promotional vehicles. The 27-foot hot dog in a bun slid off the icy road and hit a utility pole causing extensive front end damage and broken windshield. This all happened in Enola, Cumberland County, near Harrisburg. There were no injuries. On February 11, 2008, a Wienermobile suffered a similar fate in northern Pennsylvania outside of Mansfield, Tioga County, when it slid off of an icy Route 15, suffering minor damage.

Police responded to a shooting this afternoon at a community center in New Castle, DE. The incident happened around 3 pm at the Rose Hill Community Center on Lambson Lane. A shooter ran into the building and opened fire, striking and killing a boy. The shooter then fled on foot. The building, which was filled with young people attending various programs, was put on lockdown for a while. Parent's were eventually able to reunite with their children. Police have no suspects at this point and are searching the area. They boy's identity and age have not been released.
