The abolition of covid restrictions in Scotland can't come soon enough, say leaders of Renfrewshire's hard-hit hospitality sector.First Minister Nicola Sturgeon announced yesterday that Covid passports, which were mandatory in nightclubs, will be pulled from Monday.The need for wearing face masks in indoor settings will be removed from March 21 as the Scots premier announced on Tuesday that the nation will move away from legal controls in response to the Coronavirus pandemic and look instead to "vaccines, treatments and sensible public health behaviours".Leaders of Renfrewshire's entertainment scene, which was hard hit by pandemic restrictions and mandatory closures, say the move is a welcome one.Tommy McGrory, who runs Paisley's Bungalow music venue, told the Express: "It all helps, it's been a long time coming now but we are on our way back.

We have no worries at the moment, unless something else comes round the corner."But he admitted it had been a tough time for hospitality through the pandemic, saying: "Up until recently, businesses were right up against it.

I know a few that were going to stop about two months ago, they just had no money left and no spirit left either after what's happened."However, he hopes that the latest news will be a boost to the industry, adding: "Things are starting to get back to normal for us and the numbers are creeping up.

We are almost back to normal but some people are still nervous, it's not 100 per cent yet but we are in a better position."Although masks will no longer be mandatory, Government guidance remains that residents are strongly advised to wear them on public transport and in busy environments such as shops.Tommy's hopes have been echoed by night-time entertainments

Police: Man dies after being shot at 28 times in Olney
PHILADELPHIA - Minutes after an alleged robbery turned deadly in Olney, officers were called to another fatal shooting in the area. According to police, 35th District officers responded around 1:30 a.m. Officers were handling the robbery case at the intersection of N 5th Street and W Olney Avenue when they heard gunshots coming from the intersection of N 5th Street and W Champlost Avenue, police say. According to authorities, additional units responded to the 6000 block of N 5th Street and found a shooting victim inside of a parked car. Police say a man was slumped in the driver's seat of an Infiniti with multiple bullet holes in the driver's side window. The driver, a 49-year-old man, was unresponsive and police say he was shot once in the face and several times in the torso. Authorities say medics transported him to Einstein Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:10 a.m. Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small says the man was shot while sitting in the driver's seat because the car was hit by gunfire more than 10 times. Police are investigating a shooting in Olney that left one man dead.  A total of 28 spent shell casings were found just outside of the vehicle, Small says. Investigators say the bullets were fired from two separate caliber semi-automatic guns. Small says when the victim was taken to the hospital, a gun was found on his waistband. "It appears that although he had a gun, it appears that he never had a chance to use that weapon because it was still in his waistband when he arrived at the hospital," Small says. According to police, several cameras were active in the area during the time of the shooting. The investigation remains ongoing and active. ___MORE LOCAL HEADLINES___DOWNLOAD: FOX 29 NEWS

'Tables were turned': Suspected robber found dead in stolen car after being shot in Olney, police say
PHILADELPHIA - A suspected robber was shot and killed early Tuesday morning after a man took his gun and shot him with it, police say. According to Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Scott Small, around 1 a.m., 35th district officers responded to reports of two shooting victims in the smoke shop on the 5300 block of 5th Street. As officers were responding to that call, they received another call for a shooting victim inside of a car on W Olney Avenue, police say. Authorities say when officers responded to the smoke shop, no victims were inside, but it was clear there was a shooting scene due to spent shell casings and blood. Officers found an unresponsive shooting victim in the passenger seat of a Toyota with gunshot wounds to the groin and thigh and he was pronounced dead around 1:15 a.m., Small says. Police say the Toyota the man was in was stolen last week from the 24th District. Investigators say they learned there was a robbery in the smoke shop, with the deceased shooting victim matching the description of the robber. "We believe while that robbery was taking place someone fired shots striking the perpetrator who was the male inside the Toyota who was pronounced dead," Small says. "That's our preliminary information." Philadelphia police are investigating after a shooting at a smoke shop in Olney.  Police also say another shooting victim, a 36-year-old man with a gunshot wound in the shoulder, showed up at the hospital. According to authorities, he was also shot inside the smoke shop on 5th Street. "At this point, we believe there was a robbery inside the smoke shop.
