Kristen Oswald, of Royersford, Montgomery County, died during an Ironman triathlon in Ohio on Sunday after being struck by a commercial truck struck while she was cycling on the course.
Shots were fired Friday evening in a parking lot of Lehigh Valley Mall, injuring two men while the suspect fled the scene.
