A passenger jet carrying 148 people crashed Tuesday in the French Alps as it flew from Barcelona to Duesseldorf. Search-and-rescue teams may take a day and a half to get to the remote region, Due to the nature of the crash, no survivors are expected. The Germanwings Airbus A320 plane sent out a distress signal at 10:45 am local time then crashed in a mountainous zone at an altitude of about 2,000 meters (6,550 feet). Lower Merion Township is being sued over an ordinance regulating guns in parks. Firearm Owners Against Crime, a statewide nonprofit group, followed through on their promise to take legal action if the ordinance was not rescinded. The ordinance says that no one can carry or discharge a gun in a park "without a special permit, unless exempted." The gun group is seeking damages, legal fees, an overturning of the ban and an injunction to prevent the township from passing any future laws regulating guns. Girard Academic Music Program, the South Philadelphia magnet school, known as GAMP, was one of 13 schools in the nation chosen by the GRAMMY Foundation for its Signature Schools Award and will receive $5,500. The annual award recognizes the best public high schools in music education. Eight of the 13 schools, including GAMP, received the Enterprise Award grant for schools that are economically underserved. Sports This afternoon the Phillies play the Braves.
