Keystone Cops: Sighs All Around

Keystone Cops is a daily look at crime, police, public safety and drug news. Homicide totals are unofficial. I’m not quite sure why any of you need to know they’re unofficial, unless you’re betting on the number of homicides in this city, in which case you are kinda creepy.

• Two men were shot and killed overnight, bringing the number of homicides in Philly this year to 31 and guaranteeing this month will have at least one homicide a day, on average. [Inquirer]

• Blacks in Pennsylvania die from a gunshot wound at a higher percentage than anywhere else in the country. But as the head of Men United for a Better Philadelphia points out, white males kill themselves with handguns, too. Ahh… yeah. [Daily News]

• Police log: “The bloody bathroom was discovered after a woman wearing a medium black coat and dark shoes but no pants was seen leaving the restaurant, police said.” [Doylestown Intelligencer]

• And just when you thought a child porn case with a million pieces of child porn couldn’t get any worse. [Inky]
