Another Girl Shot in Crossfire; Tim Tebow's Baseball Tryout; Judge Tosses Lower Merion Tax Increase

It has happened again. A 12-year-old girl was shot and wounded by a stray bullet in the city's Fairhill neighborhood. She was just one of three innocent bystanders hit in a triple shooting in which at least 19 shots were fired. Police say gunfire broke out just before 6:30pm Tuesday at N. Marshall and W. Clearfield streets. The girl was leaving a corner store when she was shot in her right leg and taken to the hospital in stable condition. Also wounded: a 23-year-old man hit in his neck, now in critical condition; and a 31-year-old man shot in his ankle, now in stable condition.

Former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow held a tryout for interested MLB teams on Tuesday as he attempts to pursue a professional baseball career. There were representatives from about 20 major league teams watching him run, catch and throw at a Los Angeles ball park. He also took batting practice. One of his hits reportedly went over the stadium scoreboard and was estimated to travel 400 feet. The Phillies were there, but donâ€™t worry. Itâ€™s highly unlikely Tebow will be signed by the Phils.

A Montgomery County judge has ordered the Lower Merion School District to revoke its latest tax hike, saying the district misled taxpayers by projecting large budget deficits to justify raising taxes 4.4 percent when it actually had socked away millions of surplus dollars. In what may be an unprecedented win for Pennsylvania taxpayers, Common Pleas Judge Joseph A. Smyth said in his decision Monday that the district could increase taxes for 2016-17, but no more than 2.4 percent.
