 A Manheim Town-ship High School se-nior accused of stab-bing a 15-year-old female schoolmate Tuesday in a township park doesn’t remem-ber the assault, ac-cording to his mother.“We asked him over and over what hap-pened and he says he blacked out, that he doesn’t remember anything,” Lindy An-drews said Wednesday.Her son, who turned himself in to police af-ter the assault and ad-mitted to stabbing the girl, also didn’t give his parents a motive for the crime.“Over and over we asked him why and we got no answers. He  just cried and said he didn’t want to be here anymore,” she said of talking with her son while he was in police custody Tuesday.Cameron Anthony  Andrews, 16, of 400 Rockhouse Run, Lititz, has been charged with attempted murder and aggravated assault. He is in Lancaster County Prison without bail. Andrews stabbed the girl at Manheim Township Communi-

BALTIMORE (AP) — A Balti-more judge on Wednesday re-fused to dismiss charges against six police officers in connection with the death of a black man from injuries he suffered while in custody. The judge also re-fused to remove the prosecutor in the case.The death of 25-year-old Fred-die Gray — who succumbed to injuries sustained after his arrest on April 12 — sparked rioting and unrest that shook Baltimore for days. Protests Wednesday out-side the Baltimore courtroom where a pretrial hearing on the charges took place resulted in  just one arrest.Defense attorneys failed to persuade Circuit Judge Bar-ry Williams that what they claimed was prosecutorial mis-conduct on the part of State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby wasreason enough to drop the charges against the police of-ficers — which range from sec-ond-degree assault to second-degree murder. Williams ruled that whileMosby’s public comments re-garding initial statements made by the officers to investigatorswere “troubling,” they were notlikely to prejudice a jury. Andrew Graham, an attorney

Manheim Township’s Community Park is the perfect place to picnic, walk a dog, go for a jog, or take your kids to the play-ground. It’s an idyllic set-ting — bike and hiking trails snake across 34 sprawling acres — in one of the most populous and developed suburbs.But the joggers and walk-ers out for a stroll Wednes-day said they were shocked and disturbed to find out that a 16-year-old high school student was accused of stabbing a 15-year-old girl nearly to death on one of the trails a day earlier.“It’s pretty disturbing,” said Galen Graham, 62, of North Carolina. He is visit-ing his ill father at nearby Brethren Village and has  jogged on the path four times this week. “It seems like a fairly safe neighbor-hood to me. I feel comfort-able.”Other park-goers told LNP the stabbing made them rethink how safe they really are.“My mom keeps telling me to carry pepper spray and don’t go walking by my-self,” said Sequeya Jones, 23, who regularly walks to the park from her home a mile away off Lititz Pike. “I guess I’ll be more aware and careful.”Manheim Township po-lice allege Cameron Antho-ny Andrews, of nearby 400 Rockhouse Run, stabbed the girl — an acquaintance who lives nearby — as many as six times in broad day-light before a jogger hap-pened upon him and he fled.The park, off Petersburg

Lancaster opponents of the Iran nuclear deal said they’re disappointed Con-gress will be unable to block it, but they plan to continue their efforts.“We still think it’s very im-portant that this issue be de-bated” in the U.S. House and Senate, Don Feldman said.Feldman, a local busi-nessman, helped organize July’s Rally to Support Is-rael, which drew several hundred people to Clipper Magazine Stadium. Among the speakers op-posing the deal at the rally was U.S. Rep. Joe Pitts, R-Pennsylvania, whose dis-trict includes most of Lan-caster County.“The more we learn about the (Obama) administra-tion’s policy toward Iran, the clearer it is that the agreement is unsound,” Pitts said in a statement Wednesday.Pitts and Feldman both stressed that large majori-ties in Congress oppose the international agreement.“That it now has the tepid, qualified support of one-third of the Senate does not

 A courtroom artist who some Internet critics say made New England quarterback Tom Brady look like an aging cartoon villain several weeks ago got a wave and a “Thank you” from the superstar this week. Jane Rosenberg — shown with her latest drawing of Brady — returned to Manhattan federal court Monday, several weeks after her drawing at the quarterback’s first “Deflategate” hearing became a trending topic on social-media sites. She was finishing her drawing when Brady walked nearby with his lawyers. She says he waved, and said, “Thank you.” Outside the courthouse, she described her Monday sketch as “not so great,” bemoaning that she had only a few minutes to draw. The hearing Monday lasted less than five minutes.

Route 283 was closed to westbound traffic for more than an hour Wednesday at the Route 741 interchange because of a tractor-trailer fire just west of the exit. A supervisor at Lancaster County-Wide Communi-cations said the vehicle fire was apparently due to an overheated engine, and not a collision.Multiple fire and rescue crews responded to the scene of the fire, which was reported at 11:37 a.m. The fire was still active at 12:30 p.m., the supervisor said.Most of the crews had left the scene by 1 p.m., and the road was reopened by 1:30 p.m.There was also a spill at the scene, although it wasn’t immediately known what substance the truck was carrying. The super- visor said the spill didn’t appear to be threatening a creek just off the intersec-tion.

Gang leader-turned-evangelist to speak here
Cruz will offer message of hope and salvation to troubled Lancaster youth
Evangelist Nicky Cruz, who once was a street gang lead-er, will speak at In the Light Ministry Friday evening.
EARLE CORNELIUS
ECORNELIUS@LNPNEWS.COM
 When Nicky Cruz was the leader of a street gang in New York, he was infamous for his  violent confrontations with other gangs and run-ins with police.Today, he is even more famous as an evangelist whose gang experiences intrigue youth who can relate to him.Cruz will offer his message of hope and salvation at four servic-es in Lancaster city and county this weekend. At 7 p.m. Friday, he will appear at In the Light Ministries, 415 S. Shippen St.; that will be followed by services at 7 p.m. Saturday and 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Sunday at The Worship Center, 2384 New Holland Pike, Leola. At 15, Cruz was sent to New York by his parents, who lived in Puerto Rico. In the mid-1950s, he became the leader of the notorious Brooklyn Puerto Rican street gang known as the Mau Maus. As the gang’s leader, Cruz set a tone of vio-lence and intimidation.Then, one day in 1958, Cruz met evangelist Da- vid Wilkerson. As Cruz describes it in his book “Run Baby Run,” he threatened Wilkerson, a skinny pastor from Philipsburg, Pennsyl- vania, who had come to

Lancaster General Health is increasing the amount of money it gives to Lancaster city in lieu of taxes by $120,000 a year.That will mean an ad-ditional $60,000 for the city this year, Patrick Hopkins, city business administrator, told city council at its agenda meeting Tuesday. With the $120,000 ad-dition, LG Health’s total payment in lieu of taxes will touch $1.5 million annually. As a nonprofit, LG Health — with total revenues of $969 million last year — is largely ex-empt from having to pay real estate taxes.John Lines, an LG Health spokesman, said
