Please Support Fallen Policeman's Family

Funeral services were today for slain Reading policeman Scott Wertz. He was killed by gunfire early Sunday morning responding to a call. He fell on the street just a block from City Hall. Reading has been plagued by gang violence and drugs for several years. Things are improving but there remain way too many guns in the hands of the wrong people.

Scott Wertz seemed to personify all that is right and good about law enforcement. He was a husband and father, leaving two sons. Please consider contributing to the fund set up for his sons:
