2 Dead After Gunmen Fire 30 Shots in Kensington, Police Say
Two men died from their injuries after gunmen fired more than 30 shots in Philadelphia’s Kensington section Wednesday night, police said.
A 37-year-old man and a 22-year-old man were outside a store on the 3300 block of H Street around 8 p.m. Police say one of the men lived on the block while the second worked inside the store and was a relative of the owner.
As the two men stood there, a tan or gold Chevrolet Uplander pulled up near them. Two gunmen, one armed with an assault rifle, the other armed with a handgun, hopped out of the vehicle and opened fire, police said.
Both victims were struck as the gunmen fired more than 30 shots before fleeing the scene. The victims died from their injuries.
The suspect who fired the assault rifle was wearing a black Adidas hoodie, police said. The second suspect was wearing a grey hoodie.
"The bottom line is that these are two violent, violent people who didn't care about what they did tonight on the street," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said. "Took two lives, unnecessarily. And they need to pay for what they did."
If you have any information on the shooting, please call Philadelphia Police.

American Flags for Military at Montco Cemetery Destroyed
American flags left at numerous gravesites in a Montgomery County cemetery, meant to honor those who served in the military, were found mangled, according to witnesses.
The landscaping company responsible for maintenance of the burial grounds was fired by Hatboro Cemetery after officials learned of the destroyed flags.
"Even though it's not a military cemetery, per say, a lot of veterans are in this cemetery," cemetery official Wayne Sands said.
Furman Miles of Brightview Landscaping, which was contracted by the cemetery, said, "We’re gathering information and we are going to formulate a response for our customer and the community."
But severing business ties with the landscaper does mend the wounds from the initial shock for some who came to mourn friends and family Wednesday.
"My brothers that are no longer with me, my brothers and sisters that no longer with me, brothers and sisters who sacrificed, honor their memories and make them proud that they didn’t fight and die for nothing," said Dan Covolesky of Gilbertsville.
Sands promised that "we will fix it and replace things that need to be replaced."

Decision 2018 Ad Watch: New Ad From Andy Kim in N.J.'s 3rd
With less than 11 weeks to go before the midterm election, the airwaves and your mailbox will soon start showing more signs of campaign season: political ads.
NBC10 is launching a new Decision 2018 Ad Watch digital feature to track these attempts by candidates and others to get your attention -- and your vote -- in Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Delaware.
Democrat Andy Kim’s congressional campaign is launching its first television commercial of the general election on Thursday with an ad called “Service.”
The ad, obtained by NBC10, introduces viewers to Kim as “a kid from Marlton who became a national security officer for Republican and Democratic presidents.” It uses images of both Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama and does not mention that Kim is a Democrat.
The commercial also does not mention Kim’s opponent in New Jersey’s third district, incumbent Republican Rep. Tom MacArthur.
In the 30-second ad, Kim repeats a pledge he has made in the past that he “won’t take corporate money.”
Kim’s campaign says the ad will air in Ocean and Burlington counties in a six-figure ad buy.

Wolf, Casey Hold Big Leads Over GOP Challengers, Poll Finds
Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf and U.S. Sen. Bob Casey hold commanding leads in their bids for re-election in November, thanks in part to favorable opinions among registered voters and low name recognition for their challengers, according to a new NBC News/Marist poll.
The incumbent Democrats each have double-digit leads over their Republican challengers. Former state Sen. Scott Wagner is challenging Wolf, and U.S Rep. Lou Barletta is trying to unseat Casey.
Wolf leads 54 to 40 over Wagner and Casey leads 53 to 38 over Barletta, according to the survey of 735 registered voters. It is the first poll released on the races in over two months.
Both Republican challengers face steep uphill battles with less than three months to go before the Nov. 6 election, in large part because of considerably less name recognition and satisfactory job performance ratings for the incumbents.
According to the poll, 51 percent of registered voters have a "favorable impression" of Wolf, compared to 39 percent who have an "unfavorable impression." For Casey, it's 48 percent favorable compared to 34 percent unfavorable.
For Barletta, more voters have "never heard" of him than those who have an opinion of him, according to the poll. Forty-five percent of those polled are "unsure-never heard" of the congressman, compared to 30 percent who have a favorable opinion of him and 24 percent who view him unfavorably.
The former mayor of Hazleton in northern Pennsylvania rose to prominence a decade ago as a hard-liner on immigration. President Donald Trump recently held a campaign rally for Barletta in Wilkes-Barre.
Terry Madonna, a well-known pollster at Franklin and Marshall College, recently described Barletta as "Trump before Trump was Trump."
Wagner, a wealthy businessman from the same region of the state as Wolf, has begun airing political ads on television but also remains unknown to nearly a third of the electorate. Both men come from York County, with Wolf a scion of a powerful local family and Wagner rising to prominence through his sanitation collection company.
Thirty percent of registered voters said they are unsure or never heard of him, compared to 36 percent who have a favorable impression and 34 who have an unfavorable impression.
In both races, nearly nine of 10 registered voters said they are likely not to change their vote between now and Election Day.
Both top-of-the-ballot races could play crucial roles in how the two major parties do down-ticket. Pennsylvania's 18 congressional seats are considered crucial in helping decide whether Republicans will hold onto control of the U.S. House or Democrats will take back power.
A hotly-contested, but now settled, fight over the state's congressional map ended in a drastic redrawing of the 18 districts. The political fallout resulted in a few incumbents dropping out, and a wide range of outcomes possible Nov. 6.
Republicans currently hold 13 of the 18 seats, but Democrats are hoping they can wrest back a few seats. Some speculation has arisen that the current makeup of the Pennsylvania delegation could swing 180 degrees.
Voters' opinion of Trump will go a long away to deciding which scenario plays out in the fall. The president won Pennsylvania by less than 1 point, even though registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans by 800,000.
Despite his close victory over Hillary Clinton less than two years ago, Trump is now viewed more unfavorably by registered voters, the Marist/NBC News poll found.
When asked, "Overall, do you have a favorable or unfavorable impression of Donald Trump," registered voters skewed 56 percent unfavorable to 35 percent favorable.
The survey of 825 adults was conducted Aug. 12-16, 2018, by The Marist Poll, and sponsored and funded in partnership with NBC News. Results are statistically significant within 3.9 percentage points.

12 Years After Abduction, Body of Pa. Rep.'s Son Found
The body of a former Pennsylvania state representative's son has been found buried in a vacant Philadelphia lot 12 years after the man was abducted at gunpoint.
Earlier this week, Philadelphia police recovered the remains of Shomari Taylor at an undisclosed location in North Philadelphia. The body was positively identified on Thursday, Philadelphia Police Capt. Sekou Kinebrew said.
Taylor, who was 26 when he went missing, was the son of the late Democratic state legislator, John Myers, of Philadelphia. Myers died in 2015 after serving nine terms in the state House.
Authorities went searching for the remains after they received a new lead.
"There's cold cases where some of the leads begin to dry up, but there's never a case that's closed. So anything we get could reignite a case," Kinebrew said.
It was Aug. 26, 2006 when Tayor and his girlfriend were pulled out of a car at gunpoint at 76th Street and Woodbine Avenue in the city's Overbrook Park section. Prosecutors said the abductors were posing as police with flashing lights on their car and badges around their necks.
Taylor's mother and sister were also shot in a home invasion hours after the abduction. It was alleged that Taylor was dealing drugs.
The girlfriend, Caren Murphy, was released the next day. She told police she heard Taylor pleading for his life before he went silent. One of the alleged abductors, Kenneth Tuck, was also identified by Murphy.
Tuck was tried twice in the case on kidnapping, robbery, conspiracy and gun charges. The first trial, in 2007, ended in a mistrial after the jury couldn't come to a verdict. He was acquitted after the second trial in 2008.
Tuck's attorney tried to discredit Murphy by bringing up her prior sexual relationship with the defendant. Defense witnesses also testified that Tuck was playing cards with them at the time of the abduction.
There is no statute of limitations on homicides so new charges can be filed in the case.

Former Playboy Model Strangled Inside Her Ardmore Condo
A former model whose posed for Playboy was found strangled inside her upscale condominium near the popular Suburban Square shopping center on Pennsylvania's Main Line.
The body of 36-year-old Christina Carlin-Kraft was discovered at 9:15 p.m. Wednesday inside her bedroom at The Square condo complex at 110 Sibley Avenue in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, Montgomery County prosecutors said. Police performing a welfare check found the woman's body.
The Montgomery County coroner on Thursday ruled the manner of death as homicide.
Detectives spent much of Thursday combing the condo and the complex for evidence. They collected surveillance video from nearby businesses. The complex sits adjacent to the Ardmore Farmers Market and Suburban Square.
Carlin-Kraft's modeling credits include Playboy, Maxim, David Yurman and MAC Cosmetics, according to a profile on a modeling website. In 2016, she was charged with assault in New York City for striking a restaurant staffer. The charges were later dropped.
Prosecutors said there doesn't appear to be concern for nearby residents.
Anyone with information is asked to call Lower Merion police at 610-649-1000.
