Two inmates, including one alleged killer, escaped from a prison in Philadelphia on Sunday night by cutting a hole in the fence, authorities said. Officials did not learn of their escape until the following afternoon, CBS Philadelphia reported, citing the city's police department.
Police identified the inmates as 18-year-old Ameen Hurst, who is accused in the shooting deaths of four people, and 24-year-old Nasir Grant. They broke out of the Philadelphia Industrial Correctional Center after 8 p.m. eastern time on Sunday, when the pair were last seen. Authorities later observed Hurst and Grant in video footage cutting a hole in a fence on the prison grounds in order to make their escape.
Philadelphia Prisons Commissioner Blanche Carney said both inmates were accounted for at the correctional center at 8:30 p.m. on Sunday, although they missed the next three head counts at 11 p.m. that night, and 3 a.m. and 7 a.m. on Monday morning. Carney told CBS Philadelphia that Grant and Hurst appeared to be inside the prison during those three missed counts, and why neither was listed as missing, since they were not present, is under investigation.
After four days of voting, with more than 400 million people eligible across 27 countries, European voters have pulled the bloc's 720-seat parliament farther to the right than it has ever been. The European Parliament, for the next five years, will now have a record number of far-right legislators. Far-right parties made gains in Europe's top three economies — Germany, France and Italy — with gains by politicians who campaigned against immigration, against support for Ukraine and against climate policy.
Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference is typically a springboard for the company to announce new tech features for its software programs, and not as flashy as its yearly September event to trumpet its latest iPhone rollout. But this year, the WWDC could be a make-or-break moment for the tech giant.
