A message from the President, Provost and EVP

We are writing to inform you of a serious incident that occurred on the periphery of the Penn campus involving several individuals not affiliated with the University.

At approximately 12:10 a.m. today, two Penn police officers responded to a reported disturbance involving an armed suspect inside of Club Wizzards, located at 38th and Chestnut streets. The Penn officers found that one of the club employees had been shot and critically wounded by the suspect. The suspect, who ignored police requests to drop his weapon, was subsequently fatally wounded by police. The club employee is listed in critical condition at HUP.


which reminds me, just a few weeks ago, there was a shooting outside koko bongo's (same block) on a saturday night around 1am. oh, ilafilthia, killadelphia, how you worry me.
