Police say a man wanted for questioning in a Haverford Township fatal shooting on Saturday is also connected to an earlier shooting incident in Philadelphia. Authorities released images of the man yesterday. He was seen running from the shooting after 6 pm on the 2300 block of Haverford Road. The victim has been identified as 29-year-old John Le of Narberth. Le was shot in the torso in the doorway of a friend's apartment. He had just picked up an order at a nearby pizza shop and walked to the apartment. The man was seen on surveillance footage in the area at the same time. About 45 minutes prior, a man matching his description also opened fire in the Overbrook Park section of Philadelphia. The shooter fired over a dozen shots at a crowd of people near 77th Street and Sherwood Road. No one was injured, but several cars were hit. Anyone with information is asked to call 610-565-6500.

UPDATE: There is now a $5,000 reward being offered.

The Philadelphia Eagles held their first open practice of training camp today at Lincoln Financial Field. The practice was postponed from Saturday due to weather concerns. The team and fans got a beautiful day in South Philly. An amazing 23,000 excited football fans came out to watch. Of course it's free to enter, but just to note that the Phillies paid attendance on Sunday afternoon was 20,680. Today was also Military Appreciation Day at the Linc. Fans were able to come early and perhaps get an autograph and meet a player. The next open practice is scheduled for Sunday, August 6th. The first preseason game is Thursday, August 10th at 8pm at Green Bay.

The Coast Guard has been searching for a swimmer that went missing in Point Pleasant Beach early on Sunday morning. A 24-year-old woman was swimming with a friend and went missing around 2:30 a.m. The Coast Guard launched a 47-foot Motor Lifeboat crew from Station Manasquan Inlet and an MH-65 Dolphin aircrew from Air Station Atlantic City. Anyone with information should call Sector Delaware Bay at 215-271-4940.

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie was caught on video getting into a verbal confrontation with a Chicago Cubs fan at a Cubs-Brewers game at Millers Park in Milwaukee on Sunday. The Cubs fan Brad Joseph yelled at the governor as we walked past on the stairs that "he sucked" and called him a "hypocrite." Christie walked back and got in Joseph's face calling him a "big shot." Joseph explains, "When he initially was going up the stairs I yelled his name. He was quite a bit passed me, and 30 feet away I yelled his name and told him that he sucked, ... I called him a hypocrite because I thought it needed to be said. He turned around back towards me and got in my face for what seemed like a long time, but was probably only about 30 seconds or a minute. (He) was yelling at me. First he told me, 'Why don't you have another beer?' which I thought was a decent come back, and I thought that was kind of funny. Then he started calling me a tough guy." Christie's son works for the Milwaukee Brewers. Joseph's relative who shot the video is WISN 12 NEWS reporter Ben Hutchison.
