• Police in Bucks County shot and killed a 33-year-old man in an apartment complex after he came at them with a baseball bat. Inquirer report: “One man at Building 57, responding to the buzzer at the front door, yelled down from a fourth-floor window that he was at work at the time of the incident and heard about it only when he returned home. In another apartment, a television flickered, but no one answered the security phone. What appeared to be an unmarked police cruiser with two plainclothes officers rolled by.” Gee, way to blow their cover. [Inquirer]
