It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia

Philadelphia hit a grim milestone yesterday as two early-morning homicides boosted the city's tally to 300 for the year.

The development came on the heels of a positive stretch for homicide investigators, who had locked up five murder suspects in four cases earlier in the week.

The homicide rate is about 8 percent higher than it was at this time last year, when the murder count stood at 276, police said.
