Philadelphia Police are investigating a triple shooting in the city's West Oak Lane section. Police were called to the area of 15th and Kinsdale Street a little before 11:30pm Tuesday on reports of shots fired. Once on scene, they found 3-male victims between the ages of 28 and 38. All 3 were taken to Einstein Hospital for treatment. Police believe the shooter left the scene in a light-colored vehicle heading north on 66th Street.

Monsignor William Lynn, the high-ranking Roman Catholic official convicted in the priest sex abuse scandal, will be meeting with his defense lawyer today, to figure out whether to seek bail, again. It follows last month’s court proceeding that sent him back to prison. The former senior official in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia was convicted of a single count of child endangerment in 2012 over his handling of priest sexual abuse complaints. Monsignor Lynn served about half of a 3-6 year prison sentence, but was released on bail in 2014, after Superior Court reversed his conviction. In late April, the State Supreme Court reversed a key element of that decision, and back behind bars he went.

A Pennsylvania State University fraternity linked to a secret Facebook page where photos of nude and semi-nude women were posted is getting a three-year suspension after the school’s Interfraternity Council recommended a milder punishment. Penn State announced Tuesday that its investigation found some Kappa Delta Rho members had engaged in sexual harassment, hazing that included boxing matches and a “persistent climate of humiliation for several females.” The university’s vice president for student affairs says the sum of the fraternity’s misbehavior is more than Penn State will tolerate.
