Here are the top stories today in Philadelphia:

The fashion show, called "Project Ruffway," will be hosted on Oct. 20 in the 46th-floor Penthouse space for sale at The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton. The event will bring local personalities, including Taryn Hatcher, Natalie Egenolf, John Clark, and Ruben Amaro Jr. together with dogs up for adoption to walk the "ruffway." (Philadelphia Patch)
2. The trial has been postponed for a man accused of shooting six Philadelphia police officers in Tioga-Nicetown in Aug. 2019. Maurice Hill will be on trial for a number of charges, including more than 60 attempted murder charges to account for not only the officers he's accused of shooting, but also the ones who investigators said were put in harm's way during a shootout more than two years ago. Hill is scheduled to appear next in court on Jan. 18 for a hearing to allow his defense to ask for certain pieces of evidence not to be used during the trial, which has been moved to Sept. 19, 2022.
