Police and prosecutors say alleged witnesses to the crime are afraid to testify. A preliminary hearing scheduled for this morning was cancelled. Both victims survived. Ms. Agostino spent several days in the hospital but has been released. The shooter was standing about 70 feet from the victims when the shots were fired.
Police believe the gunman acted alone and had no contact with the victims before the attack.
Sign veto holds Carlisle Borough Council failed Monday to override Mayor Kirk Wilson's veto of a move that deregulated signs inside borough businesses. Now council will seek a compromise that balances concerns of those who oppose such regulations with those who insist some safeguards against offensive signs are needed. Wilson's veto annoyed Councilman Dennis Lebo, who campaigned relentlessly to eliminate the regulations. Lebo owns Communion Cup Christian Book and Gift Shop on East Louther Street. Council voted 4-3 to override the veto, but five votes are needed.
