TOP STORIES: CAMPAIGN 2016-ROAD TO 270 PHILADELPHIA — Hillary Clinton's campaign is aggressively outworking Donald Trump in battleground Pennsylvania, a state the billionaire businessman can scarcely afford to lose and still hope to become president. Despite polling well in Pennsylvania throughout the summer, Clinton's team is nevertheless bearing down in a state her party has carried in six straight elections. They are ratcheting up advertising and dispatching their top supporters to Pennsylvania, from Bill Clinton to Joe Biden to last week's visit from President Barack Obama. By Thomas Beaumont.

PHILADELPHIA VIOLENCE PHILADELPHIA — Authorities say police officers came under fire in Philadelphia for the second night in a row, but didn't return fire and arrested two suspects. EXCHANGE: EXCHANGE-STATE POLICE CHAPLAINS PITTSBURGH — It took a tragedy. And there was never any question that the crash of United Flight 93 in a reclaimed Somerset County strip mine on 9/11 was a tragedy of national significance. Acknowledging the searing toll on troopers tasked to the crash site where 40 passengers and crew died at the hands of terrorists, former Gov. Tom Ridge and then-state police Commissioner Paul Evanko called for the creation of the Pennsylvania State Police chaplaincy. Today, there are 63 state police chaplains, trained in police protocols and procedure, scattered across the state, tasked to serve those who serve and protect.
