The Parkway Transcript reports on three cases: Around 8 a.m. on Sept. 18, a teen walking to school on Spring Street was attacked by five guys in ski masks who threw her to the ground, kicked her and took $7 out of her backpack (the report doesn't say where on Spring Street).

The next night, a party on Glenellen Street got out of hand when a couple of girls called up some friends spoiling for a fight; they arrived and promptly beat somebody up with skateboard wheels.

A man whose June Street dining room faces the Washington-Beech project on Washington Street had bullets shot into his house; he said he considers himself lucky he had just taken his kids outside to play.
