Temple University's police union claims it's facing a staffing crisis that is greatly impacting campus safety as gun violence continues to rage in North Philadelphia.
The union says it's operating at 60% of its typical workforce and each officer has worked about 42 overtime shifts since last July.that it "cannot perform adequate community policing techniques that we have done in the past to reduce crime in the community."
Police Captain John Walker told reporters that the girl's car turned onto the 1500 block of Cecil B. Moore Avenue just before 10 p.m. last Friday when one of the passengers became involved in a conversation with a teen standing on the sidewalk. A 16-year-old was hit in the back and a 17-year-old was hit in the leg, police said. Both were taken to Temple University Hospital and placed in stable condition, according to police.
