Maybe He Just Gave Bad Directions

The first item in The Intelligencer’s crime log today:

Man shot by motorist who asked for directions: A 25-year-old township man was shot in the upper back at about 1:13 a.m. Tuesday by a man he said asked for directions and then jumped out of a purple vehicle and started shooting at him. Police said the man was walking near Susquehanna and Bradfield roads in the township’s Roslyn section when he was shot. He suffered a collapsed lung but is in stable condition and doctors say he will make a full recovery, police said. He had recently moved to the township from Philadelphia.

Thought you could escape that gun violence by moving out of Philadelphia, eh? Well, welcome to Abington!
