Philadelphia police arrest 2nd suspect for deadly Grays Ferry mass shooting, officials say
Daquan Brown. 21, was arrested on Tuesday without incident at a home in Grays Ferry, police said.
Brown faces charges including murder, attempted murder and gun offenses for the shooting that killed three people and injured nine on the 1500 block of South Etting Street on July 7 around 1 a.m., according to police.
Brown is the second person arrested for the shooting.
Terrell Frazier, 22, was arrested last week and is charged with three counts of murder, nine counts of attempted murder and several other offenses, police said.
Police said previously they have traced the bullets found at the scene to 13 different guns and are looking for 11 other suspects.
"I was on that block within an hour or so of this incident, and I think every parked car had a bullet in it," Philadelphia Police Deputy Commissioner Frank Vanore said in a news conference last week.
The shooting likely stemmed from one person firing a gun at a gathering of 100 to 200 people on the block, Vanore said. There was no fight or obvious target, police said.
Police have released photos they say show some of the suspects in the shooting and are asking for the public's help.
"We have some good leads, but we still need help with this case," Vanore said during last week's briefing. "We need people, if you know who they are, to call us."
Police are offering a $20,000 reward for any information that leads to a conviction.

Prosecutors clear Florida deputy in arrest of a Black man punched and dragged from his car
Prosecutors will take 'no further action' against a Florida sheriff's deputy in the arrest of a Black college student pulled from his car and beaten by officers during a February traffic stop. The actions of Officer D. Bowers of the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office did not constitute a crime, according to an investigative report released by the State Attorney's Office for the Fourth Judicial Circuit of Florida. A video showing officers punching and dragging William McNeil from his car sparked nationwide outrage, though Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters has said there's more to the story than the cell phone video that went viral online and that McNeil was repeatedly asked to exit his vehicle. In the investigative memo released Wednesday, prosecutors called the cell phone footage 'incomplete in scope' and said Bowers made a lawful traffic stop when he pulled McNeil over and that Bowers' use of force was justified. 'The State Attorney's Office has reviewed this matter to determine whether any of Officer Bowers' actions constitute a crime. We conclude they do not,' the report reads. According to the report, Bowers stopped McNeil for failing to turn on his headlights and buckle his seatbelt, after seeing his SUV parked outside a house the officer was surveilling for 'drug activity.' Based on a review of officer body camera footage, interviews the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office conducted with the officers involved and statements by McNeil, prosecutors said Bowers gave McNeil a dozen 'lawful commands,' which he disobeyed. After Bowers pulled him over, McNeil questioned the stop and declined to provide his license and registration. Though he earlier had his car door open while talking with an officer, he later closed it and appeared to keep it locked for about three minutes before the officers forcibly removed him, the video shows. 'It is the officers' body-worn camera footage that provides the additional needed context of the circumstances preceding, surrounding, and following McNeil's arrest,' the report reads. A statement from McNeil's lawyers, Ben Crump and Harry Daniels, called the report clearing the deputy 'little more than an attempt to justify the actions of Officer Bowers and his fellow officers after the fact.' Crump is a Black civil rights attorney who has gained national prominence representing victims of police brutality and vigilante violence. 'Frankly, we expected nothing less especially after Sheriff Waters announced their conclusions more than three weeks before the report was issued,' the statement said. 'Since they are unwilling to seek justice, we will have to request that the U.S. Department of Justice investigate this incident and the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office.' Previously, Crump has fiercely criticized prosecutors' finding that officers did not commit any criminal wrongdoing, saying his client remained calm while the officers who are trained to deescalate tense situations were the ones escalating violence. Crump said the case harkened back to the Civil Rights movement, when Black people were often attacked when they tried to assert their rights.

Militant attacks on Pakistani police kill 5 and injure 8 officers
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — A series of attacks against Pakistani police by militants left five officers dead and eight wounded in the northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, officials said. There were four attacks with three resulting in officer casualties Thursday, police said. Most died or were injured in a single attack in the Upper Dir district when armed men ambushed a police van early Thursday. Three officers died and seven were injured during the routine patrol, police official Ismail Khan said. In the Peshawar suburb of Hassan Khel, armed men opened fire on a police station with automatic weapons. One officer died and another was wounded in an exchange of fire, Peshawar Capital City Police Officer Qasim Ali Khan said. Two other overnight attacks came at police checkpoints in the Lajbok area of the Lower Dir district, where a police constable was killed, and in the Bannu district, where there were no casualties reported. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the assaults and it was not immediately known if they were connected. The attacks coincided with a security operation to fight militants in the province's Bajaur district. There was no formal announcement of the offensive's launch in Bajaur, a former stronghold of the Pakistani Taliban. Local government administrator Saeed Ullah said it was not a large-scale operation and only insurgent hideouts were targeted to avoid hurting or killing civilians, but the operation has displaced at least 100,000 people and there have been civilian casualties, including deaths. On Thursday, hundreds of people carried black flags and staged a sit-in to protest the killing of a mother and her two children in the district's Inayat Kili area, who died when a mortar struck their home. Authorities are registering displaced families from the Mamund area and setting up camps in public schools and sports complexes. People also have received food and relief packages, Bajaur government official Saeed Khan said. Between 500 and 800 militants are hiding in Bajaur, according to an official who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak to the media.
