Flash Flood Warnings, Philadelphia Police Officer Suspended, Pope Parties

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for much of the area Wednesday morning. The warnings are set to expire at 9:30am. Reports are of 1 1/2" rain in a 20-30 minute span where it will come down heaviest. The areas affected in Pennsylvania are parts of Chester, Bucks, and Philadelphia Counties. In New Jersey, the warning extends to parts of Camden, Salem, Gloucester, and Burlington Counties.

A Philadelphia Police officer could lose his job after heâ€™s accused of lying about how he was shot while off-duty. Officer Robert Penn, 48, turned himself in yesterday. Penn was shot in the shoulder back in March of 2014. Police say he paid his former brother-in-law to blame Pennâ€™s current wife for the shooting. The 25-year veteran of the force has been suspended for 30 days with intent to dismiss.

Local churches are planning Pope parties so worshippers can enjoy the message without any of the inconvenience. Putting up with the hassles of getting to the Parkway for the Popeâ€™s mass in September may be too much for many, so worshippers at St. Catherine of Siena in Horsham are planning a party to enjoy the spectacle with ease in the suburbs. Joshua Jenkins, parish services director said it all starts after mass with a tailgating party. Parishoners will have the opportunity to bring food, bring grills, cook out, socialize. Theyâ€™re gonna have a Christian rock band outside, and in the hall screens will be set up.
