School officials say they found just one and they’re making sure that one doesn’t spread.A letter was sent home to parents of some students at the Feltonville Community Education campus of Feltonville Intermediate School.

The letter is in response to a bed bug found in a classroom.Parent James Conway commented about it while picking up his sons from school. "I guess we can’t do anything about it.

I mean, you just have to try to treat it, if it’s in the classrooms that they’re in and be careful. If you’re bringing them home, because they are a big problem, if you bring them home, to get rid of."Conway’s 9-year-old son, Ethan, says it wasn’t his class, but he noticed a sign on a classroom door.

Man hit with Taser, shot by police after crashing stolen car into police cruiser in Chester County: officials
SKYFOX flew over Caln Township, where a suspect was shot by police after crashing a stolen car into a police cruiser.  PHILADELPHIA - The Chester County District Attorney's Office is investigating a shooting involving police in Caln Township. According to authorities, the incident began on Wednesday morning just before 2 a.m. when police received information about a stolen vehicle being found in the parking lot of a Wawa in Downingtown Borough. Officials say the suspect, who stole the vehicle, stole another car from the Wawa parking lot and fled from officers attempting to stop him from entering a nearby neighborhood. Police say a Caln Township officer was at the intersection of Westerham and Shelburne Road to put up stop strips when the suspect crashed into the officer's marked police car head on at a high rate of speed. The stolen car hit the police cruiser so hard that it sent the cruiser backwards about 40 years, according to the District Attorney's Office. Authorities say the officer, who was behind the cruiser, had to dive out of the way to avoid being hit by the impact. As the stolen vehicle eventually came to a stop after the crash, the suspect got out of the car and began walking away from responding officers, per police. Officers shouted commands to the suspect as they approached him, officials say.

Independent MPs write to foreign missions on present state of affairs
COLOMBO (News 1st); The Freedom People's Congress in a letter to foreign missions in the country over the delay in holding the Local Government Election, have expressed their deep concern over the present situation surrounding the franchise of the people.The letter notes that the timeframes for the conduct of elections at all levels are defined by the Constitution of Sri Lanka and other applicable statutory regimes. It notes that compliance with these requirements is mandatory, there being no flexibility or scope for  exercise of discretion.The Freedom People's Congress says that for the first time in Sri Lanka's history, the government of the day has adopted the startling position that an election cannot be held because the financial resources required are not available, adding that the implications of this will be apparent upon a moment’s reflection.It warned that at its sole discretion, the government of the day will be entitled to postpone any election on the ground of unavailability or inadequacy of resources – a power which it will no doubt be tempted to exercise in any circumstances where imminent defeat is probable.It requested the Diplomatic Missions to bring this distressing state of affairs to the notice of their respective capitals, with a view to prevailing on the government of Sri Lanka to desist from a course of action gravely detrimental to the nation.
