COLLINGDALE, Pennsylvania (WPVI) — Police are investigating a shooting that left a man dead on Thursday night in Collingdale, Delaware County.
It happened around 11:15 p.m. at Collingdale Park near Jackson Avenue and Hibberd Avenue.
Delaware County District Attorney Jack Stollsteimer says investigators are working to provide closure for all involved.

WILMINGTON, Delaware (WPVI) — Delaware State Police are looking for a shoplifting suspect accused of attacking a loss prevention officer inside the Macy’s at the Concord Mall in Wilmington.
Police released pictures of the woman still being sought. They said she took several items and tried to leave the store without paying.

The woman was able to get away from the store.
Retail theft is a growing concern throughout the Philadelphia region.
On Friday, officers from Delaware and Chester County gathered for a retail theft training session.
“We are always better as law enforcement when we partner and we collaborate,” said Chester County District Attorney Chris de Barrena-Sarobe. “We have a lot of retail theft happening in Philadelphia and that is bleeding out into the counties.”
Delaware State Police haven’t identified the suspect who attacked the loss prevention officer and are looking for help from the public.

The first Delaware Student of the Week comes from Archmere Academy
The first Delaware Student of the Week is coming under the spotlight.
In case you missed it, Delaware Online/The News Journal launched an initiative to recognize achievements of high school students across the state through reader voting, every other week. This honor looks to highlight academic achievement, extracurricular activities, volunteerism, perseverance and more qualities that make up the lives of so many young scholars.
School principals and other educators sent in nominations, while readers handled the rest. So in this first round, who is our Delaware Student of the Week?
That’s Daniel Qi, of Archmere Academy. The “exceptional violinist” snagged nearly 70% of the vote in this round.
This junior has already performed with symphony orchestras, and he serves as first violinist for the Helena Raskob Arts Institute String Ensemble, according to his nominator. Daniel was awarded the first chair, while also serving as concertmaster, when chosen to perform with the Delaware All-State Orchestra.
Outside of the classroom, the top math student has also performed internationally. He played in Carnegie Hall’s National Youth Orchestra NYO2 program, and even touring Iceland with Temple Music Prep’s Youth Chamber Orchestra.
Come back for next week’s poll, set to launch on Monday morning. Educators can still make additional submissions until next week.
