• Four more charged after deadly teen shooting inside Pennsylvania apartment (shorenewsnetwork.com) — A 17-year-old was fatally shot inside a Columbia Borough apartment, and four more people now face charges for allegedly hiding guns and concealing what happened afterward. Lancaster County prosecutors say teens handled multiple firearms for hours before one discharged, and Columbia Borough police spent hundreds of hours investigating before filing these additional counts. 
• Lancaster County restaurant inspections for July 27-Aug. 2 (spotlightpa.org subscription) — State inspectors recently cited the Comfort Inn Lancaster County in Columbia for lacking proper sanitizer, evidence of cockroaches, and other food-safety issues, alongside many other Lancaster County restaurants. Locals can see which nearby spots had violations, what problems were found, and which establishments passed with clean reports.
