An 11-month-old baby has now died from the injuries it sustained in a house fire last week. The fire happened on the 300 block of East Sheldon street in the Olney section of Philadelphia. Crews arrived on the scene last week to find heavy fire coming from the upper level the two-story home. Firefighters say it only took about 10 minutes to put out the fire, but shortly after they found the 11-month-old, as well as a 6-year-old hiding in the house. The 6-year-old still remains in critical condition. The cause of the fire is still under investigation.

Philadelphia Police are now investigating a shooting that took place Monday afternoon in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. Police responded to a call on the 2100 block of Fifth Street in Kensington at around 2:38 pm Monday to find a 15-year-old male who had been shot in the head. The teen was rushed to Temple University Hospital where he is currently listed in critical condition. Police stated that an arrest has been made in the case, and that a gun was recovered from the scene. Officials are still investigating the motive of the shooting.

If you're still trying to figure out how you're going to get to the polls tomorrow for election day, you might want to consider using a ride-sharing service. Uber and Lyft will now be offering free rides to new and old users in Pennsylvania on Election Day. The companies have teamed up with the Super PAC My Ride to Vote to offer free rides to citizens by using the promo code VOTEPA on the services mobile apps. Uber has also partnered up with Google to help voters locate their polling locations.
