🌱 School Bus Crash In Northeast Philly + Three Injured In Shooting

Hi all. It's me, Dan Casarella, your host of the Philadelphia Daily — back in your inbox with everything you need to know about what's happening locally.

First, today's weather:

Mostly cloudy. High: 73 Low: 54.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in Philadelphia who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our Philadelphia Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top three stories in Philadelphia today:

1. A school bus crashed in northeast Philadelphia on Monday morning. The crash took place in the Tacony section of Northeast Philadelphia. As of Tuesday afternoon, there is no information on whether anyone was injured. (NBC 10 Philadelphia)
2. Three teens were injured in a shooting outside Simon Gratz High School on Monday afternoon. The shooting took place just after school was released, and Mastery Charter School sent out a statement that all three buildings were put on lockdown after the shooting. The police are still investigating the incident. (CBS Philly)
3. Paul Sank, a staff editor at Wikidelphia, is inviting you to become a "neighborhood librarian." A "neighborhood librarian" is someone who would help neighbors find information on Philadelphia and everything to do with the city. According to Sank, the page has been growing for 11 years and is inviting anyone interested to get involved or check out the project. (Technical.ly)
