PHILADELPHIA (KYW) A 12-year-old and two men were killed in a shooting in East Germantown on Thursday afternoon, the Philadelphia Police Department said.
It began "Dear Claimant," and said her 24-year-old son, Randy, who was fatally shot in April 2006, was not an "innocent" victim. Without further explanation, the agency that assists violent-crime victims and their families, known then as the New York Crime Victims Board, refused to help pay for his funeral.
