Oxford Valley Mall shooting: Police in Bucks County release photos, description of suspect
New surveillance video shows the suspect fleeing from the area of the SEPTA bus stop by the JCPenney store where the shooting happened, police said.
After the shooting, the suspect is seen running toward the area where the old Boscov's building once stood, near the new Atlee Square Apartments.
Additional security video shows the suspect before the shooting standing between the JCPenney and One Oxford Valley Building near the water fountain on his cellphone, police said in an update posted to the department's Facebook page.
Police have described the suspect as a thin Black male younger than the age of 30 with dreadlocks and a unique walking/running gait.
The 25-year-old shooting victim is not cooperating with police and has not yet identified the shooter, which has resulted in delays with the investigation, Middletown police Lt. Steve Forman said. Police have said the suspect and victim knew each other.
The victim is home recovering from a gunshot and stab wound to his left arm, police said.
The shooting kicked off a hectic scene at the shopping center June 19 after the shooting, placing the mall on lockdown for hours as a powerful thunderstorm swept through the area. The nearby Sesame Place theme park was also evacuated as a precaution.
Middletown Township police are asking anyone who recognizes the suspect to contact Det. Ryan Morrison at rmorrison@mtpd.org or 215-750-3866. Tips may also be submitted via CrimeWatch at bucks.crimewatchpa.com/middletown/submit-tip.

Woman's Arm Amputated After Tree Falls on Her in Freak Mini Golf Accident While Celebrating Her Son's 13th Birthday
Adela Magaña, 53, and her family made a last-minute decision to go mini-golfing in an attempt to make her son's birthday more fun NEED TO KNOW A California woman had her arm amputated after a palm tree fell on her at Golf N' Stuff mini golf course in Ventura on Aug. 6 Adela Magaña, 53, was at the mini golf course with her family shortly after 5:30 p.m. local time when the incident occurred She was there that day to celebrate her son's 13th birthday A California woman's arm was amputated following a freak accident during what was supposed to be a fun family outing. Adela Magaña, 53, was celebrating her son's 13th birthday at Golf N' Stuff mini golf course in Ventura, Calif., shortly after 5:30 p.m. local time on Aug. 6, when a palm tree fell on her, per local news outlet VC Star. The mother of four was sitting on a bench watching others play when the accident occurred, according to the outlet. 'I was going to go look for the ball, and [...] I heard a screeching sound — like a branch breaking,' Magaña's son, Junior, 22, told VC Star. 'I thought nothing of it, but then I heard a big old thump, and people were running toward my mom.' Junior and his father, Amando, along with two other people, ran to lift the tree — which was about 40 feet long — off Adela. "After that, we went straight into stopping the bleeding,' Junior recalled. 'We got a belt, used it as a tourniquet, held it and had other people call 911.' Junior also said that the family hadn't even planned to be at the course that day, noting that it had been a last-minute decision. "We were trying to make [my brother's] birthday a little bit better because it was mid-week, and we didn't know what to do. We thought of something fast: play mini golf and then go have dinner afterward. But we never got to dinner," he recalled. Adela was treated by Ventura City Fire Department officials on the scene and then transported to the Ventura County Medical Center, where surgeons ultimately determined that her right arm needed to be amputated just below the shoulder. She had surgery on Aug. 7, per VC Star. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. Adela's daughter, Nancy, said her mom, who manufactures bolts at an automotive racing products company, now has a 'long road' to recovery. 'She's a very strong woman — even at this point. She's not able to talk, but she's able to nod her head. She has a long journey ahead of her,' she said while speaking to the outlet. Nancy also said that her younger brother, 13-year-old Damien, will also need to heal from the trauma of the event on his birthday. 'It's a lot to take in as a 13-year-old to witness that. It's always going to be there for him,' she said. PEOPLE reached out to the Ventura City Fire Department for comment on Friday, Aug. 15, but did not receive an immediate response. In an email to PEOPLE, Kevin Martin, general manager at Golf N' Stuff's Ventura location, said that the course was shut down following the incident for 'precautionary reasons' and will reopen after consulting with a licensed arborist. He also provided an official statement from the business, which stated, 'Golf N' Stuff Ventura has always, and will continue to make safety for its valued guests its top priority." 'Through this recent event we were reminded how unpredictable and unforgiving Mother Nature can be at times. Rather than simply be humbled by her unpredictability, we aim to be proactive moving forward to ensure safety for all,' they said. 'We will be aligning ourselves even more with our licensed Arborist and Tree Service to give us the knowledge we need.' They continued, 'Our thoughts and prayers are with Mrs. Magaña and her family. Updates have told us that she has been a warrior in her recovery.' Read the original article on People

Former Wisconsin women's basketball players file lawsuit against former coach, alleging psychological abuse
Five former Wisconsin women's basketball players have filed a federal lawsuit against former coach Marisa Moseley, former sport administrator Justin Doherty and the Wisconsin Board of Regents, saying that they were 'psychologically abused by their college basketball coach and the university that failed to protect them.' In the 51-page complaint filed in Wisconsin Western District Court on Friday, former players Alexis Duckett, Krystyna Ellew, Mary Ferrito, Tara Stauffacher and Tessa Towers accused Moseley of psychological abuse, mental cruelty, retaliation and discrimination. 'She unconstitutionally toyed with the mental health of her players, including Plaintiffs, as a means of exerting control over every facet of their lives, including retaliating against them based on their protected speech and expressive acts and discriminating against them based on their disabilities or perceived disabilities,' the lawsuit said. A Wisconsin athletic department spokesman referred all inquiries to the university's strategic communications office. 'We haven't seen the suit and can't offer any comment on it at this time,' University of Wisconsin-Madison spokesman John Lucas told The Athletic on Saturday. Moseley resigned in March after four seasons leading the program. The lawsuit says that during her tenure, 11 players transferred with eligibility, including the five filing suit. The complaint alleges that Moseley interfered with her players' mental health treatment, pried into players' personal and romantic lives and threatened players about scholarships and playing time. The lawsuit also says that Doherty, a longtime Wisconsin administrator and the sport supervisor who retired in April, was made aware of the issues by both players and their parents and was involved in removing players from the team. The lawsuit says that 'medical providers treated a disproportionate number of Moseley's players for mental health issues,' and that 'several players required emergency medical treatment or treatment at a mental health facility.' According to the filing, university doctors diagnosed several players with 'serious mental illnesses and mood disorders and placed them on numerous prescription mental health medications.' The lawsuit also alleges that the university 'coerced players, following a mental health incident, to sign broad agreements releasing their medical records if they wished to remain on the team.' The players seek undetermined punitive and compensatory damages plus attorney fees and demand a jury trial. Under Moseley, the Badgers never had a winning season. She compiled a 47-75 record and was 21-51 in Big Ten competition. Before coaching at Wisconsin, Moseley was the head coach at Boston University, and previously held assistant coaching roles at UConn, Minnesota and Denver.
