We start with breaking news out of egypt where a plane has been hijack. Egypt airplane was hijacked flying from alexandria to cairo. You can see live pictures here where the plane landed, it was in cypress and on the tarmac there. We understand there four people, four foreigners and flight crew that remain on the the crew, active negotiations, apparently highjackers did let people off the train and you can see more people let off that train. Eightyone passengers were on this flight. Egypts Aviation Authority say hijacker has claim to have a explosives belt on him. The only demand so far is that Police Vehicles just move away from that aircraft. As you can see in the shot we dont see any of the emergency vehicles in that immediate the shot right next to the airplane. The story is still developing. We will get more information and then pass it the to you. Scary thing is they said that everything was well, they didnt have any independent case that there was any signs of stress in the air. But calmy walking off that plane in the live picture a very good sign. True. Breaking news out of pennsauken, new jersey where a person has been hit getting a cross the road. Investigators are trying to figure out what exactly happen. Steve keeley with more on this. Steve, good morning to you. Reporter well, hit and killed. This is a hit and run and fatal one at that. 130 just reopened at the 3 00 this morning. The southbound lanes were shut down where this all happen right in front of the burger king restaurant here. Chris, come back to me here. Burger king restaurant opened until midnight and you can see that concrete median not even waste high for the average man and that lures residents on both sides of 130 because there are houses behind the strip of businesses here and a lot of people walk across, to the left, you can see one light, browning road a main road all the way to the the cooper river but next light, actually has a pedestrian walk bridge overpasses, but somebody out in the mid of the night likely doesnt want to walk two blocks down to walk two blocks back to get safely across 130 and maybe take a chance and cross. Unfortunately a man did last night. You can see some markings in the road, the man was thrown here where this spray paint is where you see letter h here spray painted by police and then you see more spray paint in the left lane where impact is, close to where the concrete, median is im talking about, and that is how far the mans body was thrown. What police do tell us is that the car that hit him left the bumper behind. The bumper fell off, so a high impact accident like we always sianni hit and run, so they have not put out a public description yet, for the car, but the fact that they are not here any longer tells you may be they have some kind of an id on the make and model and may have an idea where it is right now. So nothing yet from Pennsauken Police or Camden County Prosecutors Office but we expect some news from them real soon because we would want to be able to help them to put out a description of the car now missing a front bumper and probably more damage to it. Fatal hit and run here in pennsauken on route 130 just before midnight last night and again that burger king is opened until midnight and drive through at least is still opened so that would hint that the maybe employees here saw something or saw aftermath that this car did stop momentarily before taking off, chris and lauren. Steve keeley live in pennsauken, thank you. A shooting Near Temple Universitys campus. This happened just after 1 00 this morning on the the 1200 block of west moreland and broad streets in West Philadelphia a.

Parents and Community Members searching for answers last night at a local high school. Members of the Football Team in the middle of the hazing investigation. Dave kinchen live in berwyn with the details of this disturbing story, hi there, dave. Reporter hi lauren and chris, good morning to you. Parents, Community Members went to this meeting here at Conestoga High School last night unlikely waking up, digesting everything that they heard. It was a pack house here in a meeting highlighting allegations of hazing involving members of the Football Team. We were told that the meeting was for the community, so our cameras were not allowed inside. The incident discussed what was reported last october when d. A. Tom hogan said at the time three seniors held down a 14 yearold freshman in the locker room and then sexually assaulted him with the the broom stick while he refused team hazing. In the wake of the investigation the head coach john vogan resigned and they released entire varsity and jv staff saying there was not enough supervision in the locker room. Some who attended the meeting told us what people inside had to say. I think most of it was in support of the players, you know, because not everybody was involved in the hazing. I think a lot of support of the coaches, and there was talk about the administration, you know, rule in this that they didnt do a good job and, you know, creating policies and procedures for the coach toes follow. Im a graduate from here so i definitely have my feelings about everything and i still work in the community. For me it is just all about lets get to the bottom line and hopefully lets see how things all shake out and everything will be fine. Reporter some say is there more to the incident that has gone unreported by School Officials but, of course, many people told us around the time the meeting ended that they dont believe any of this took place.
