Ambler safe after alerts of armed individual, CSS says.

Posted on by

Temple’s Ambler Campus is safe and students are advised to continue their schedules as normal after reports of an armed individual in a parking lot were deemed not credible, Deputy Director of Campus Safety Services Charlie Leone said.

Shortly before 1 p.m. Friday afternoon, Leone said an administrator at the campus offices received a phone call warning of an armed individual in the parking lot. Temple and Upper Dublin Township Police investigated and found no such individual.

The campus was not locked down, Leone said, and no alert was issued to students until a general TU Advisory was issued throughout the student body notifying them of the incident shortly after 3 p.m.

While no official lockdown was issued, Leone said there was unofficial communication between the Ambler staff about staying inside.

Leone said that the campus was never in danger and CSS only chose to issue the alert after they received numerous calls from students who had heard rumors and inquired whether it was safe to return to class.

Family Suing Two Bars For Temple Grad’s Death

Posted on by

Family members of a deceased insurance executive and Temple graduate filed a civil lawsuit last Thursday against his assailants and two bars that were allegedly serving drinks to them before the incident, according to an article in The Philadelphia Daily News.

According to the article, the suit accused two Center City bars, G Lounge in Rittenhouse Square and Lucy’s Hat Shop in Old City, of violating state law by serving the assailants Kenneth Enriquez-Santiago, Steven Ferguson and Felix Carrillo drinks after they were already showing visible signs of being drunk on the night of Jan. 11, 2012.

Later on in the early hours of Jan. 12, the three assailants were getting out of a vehicle when they proceeded to attack Kevin Kless, 23, who was trying to catch a cab with his girlfriend, leaving him unconscious and dying on the ground at the 400 block of Chestnut Street.

All three men pled guilty for the beating. Ferguson received a five to 10 year sentence for third-degree murder, while Santiago will only serve two to five years due to his plea arrangement for a lesser charge of involuntary manslaughter.

Carrillo also pled guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and is serving a two to five year sentence.

At time of press, there are no new details of the lawsuit pending for the three assailants and the establishments that were involved in the incident.
