Parking dispute ends when man is stabbed, critically injured

PHILADELPHIA » A parking dispute in a Philadelphia neighborhood ended in a stabbing that left a man critically injured.

Authorities say the victim and another man who knew him started arguing around 12:45 a.m. Sunday after the victim doubleparked a vehicle. The argument soon turned physical, and one man used a knife to stab the other twice in the chest.

Two police officers who happened to be nearby heard the victim’s screams and ran to the scene. The victim was then taken to a hospital where he was listed in critical condition.

The alleged stabber was arrested, but authorities have not released his name or said what charges he’s facing. The knife allegedly used in the stabbing was recovered at the scene.

Teenage boy found shot on Pittsburgh street dies from wounds

PITTSBURGH » Authorities say a 14-year-old boy who was found shot in the head this weekend in a Pittsburgh neighborhood has died from his injuries.

The Allegheny County Medical Examiner’s office says Augustus Gray, of Braddock, was pronounced dead just before 5 p.m. Saturday. He had been found about 12 hours earlier in the middle of a street in the city’s Lincoln-Lemington-Belmar neighborhood.

A motive for the shooting remains under investigation. But authorities don’t believe it’s connected to a drive-by shooting on Saturday in another residential area that left two young girls wounded.

No arrests have been made in either shooting.
