• Teen held on all charges in Darby gunfire with no one hit (delcotimes.com) — A July 5 shooting on South Fifth Street in Darby has led to a Yeadon 17-year-old being held for trial on attempted murder and related charges, though no one was struck by gunfire. Testimony from an alleged victim and a Darby detective, along with extensive surveillance video, convinced a district judge to send the case to county court while the teen remains jailed on high bail.
