We ve learned a bit more about the April 21st incident that left a man dead at the Wawa in Upper Macungie Township and his killer dead from a suicide. The Lehigh County DA s office says Za Uk Lian of South Whitehall Township shot at a woman s car on Route 22 as both drivers were going at a speed of about 70 miles per hour. Lian then drove to the Wawa, where he shot and wounded one person and then shot and killed Ramon Ramirez as Ramirez was pumping gas. The DA says Lian also pointed a gun at a group of people at the Wawa and tried to steal two different vehicles but failed when police began arriving. Lian then ran off and killed himself at a nearby daycare center. Lian s motive remains unknown.
HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) â The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education estimates it can save millions of dollars by merging six of its 14 universities into two new institutions, according to more than 400 pages of planning documents released Monday, two days before a vote on the plan, The Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
A vote from the board of governors on whether to proceed with the plan is expected Wednesday and starts a 60-day public comment period. A final vote would be scheduled for July, with implementation in 2022.
The system has worked on the plans since October under Chancellor Dan Greenstein, who has warned that some of the systemâs schools are not sustainable without radical change in the face of sinking enrollment, rising student debt and a lagging commitment of public tax dollars.
