🌱 DA Election Results + N. 25th St. Shooting + Christmas Village

Hey, people of Philadelphia! Dan Casarella here with a fresh copy of thePhiladelphia Daily.

First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and cool. High: 53 Low: 37.

Here are the top stories in Philadelphia today:

1. The results are coming in for the race for Philadelphia District Attorney. Polls closed at 8 p.m. last night and incumbent Larry Krasner was off to an early lead against challenger Charles Peruto within the first hour. Find out the latest results on Patch. (Philadelphia Patch)
2. A 33-year-old man is in critical condition after being shot multiple times in North Philadelphia early Tuesday morning. Police found the victim lying on the sidewalk in the 1700 block of North 25th Street around 12:30 a.m. He had been shot at least three times, in his head, lower back, and leg. (6 ABC)
3. Philadelphia's Christmas Village will return for the 14th year in a row to Center City with more than 110 unique vendors. The open-air German Christmas market will span Love Park, the City Hall Courtyard, and the north side of City Hall, and run from Thanksgiving Day through Christmas Eve. A preview weekend will be held Nov. 20 to 21 to give visitors an early look at this year’s products. (NBC 10)
4. A frost advisory has been issued for the City of Philadelphia, in effect until 9 a.m. this morning. The region could experience its first 30-degree weather today, and the first frost is likely across the Philadelphia suburbs. (CBS 3)
5. Masking policies have shifted across regions of Philadelphia as waves of COVID-19 come and go. While the state still requires masks on public transportation and in school settings, officials have left it up to private businesses to decide whether they want to enforce a mask policy in-store. Across Philadelphia, masks are required at all outdoor unseated gatherings of more than 1,000 people and at all indoor businesses that don't require vaccination for employees and patrons. Otherwise, policies have varied widely depending on where in Philadelphia you are. (6 ABC)
