Weak to breaking news out of cypress, a plane hijack from egypt has landed there, negotiations are underway right now with the hijacker. Chris murphy, because thinks still going on right now has the very latest. Reporter official with egypts minister of fors fares says the hijacker is not a terrorist but instead he is upset over his exwife. According to officials the plane was hijack while on its way from the city of alexandria to the capitol of cairo and landed in cypress where all except seven people were allowed to get off that plane. Hijacker was identified add abraham sammera had a suicide belt and threaten the pilot. Negotiators say man gave them the name of the woman lives in cypress and asked officials to give her an envelope. Some reports say that women is the mans wife or exwife and that quote he seems to be in love. Their word. Now authorities are still trying to bring this situation to a peaceful end right now. We do not have any update as to exactly what his motive may have been because if he had, some sort of an explosive belt on that would lead to you believe that might be terrorism but then there is a bizarre side story of the woman that he evidently wanted an envelope given to, guys. I think it is about the man and his exwife. We were talking about the fact when he released all of the passengers they were walking slowly, they had luggage with them which was a rush situation. They didnt seem fearful for their lives. Crazy stunt in the dangerous part of the world. Thanks, chris. Man killed in the hit and run gannon the same south jersey highway. This Morning Police catch up with the driver whom they say was behind the wheel, steve, they have found the car and they have the person. Reporter fast food and fast cars is what route 130 is known for. It is known for something else, the deadliest road for pedestrians in all of new jersey year after year and now 2016, it is looking just as deadly as past year. We will turnaround to the left and look the a the left lane in the southbound lanes that spray painted marker is where a man trying to cross 130, either about to hop median which business waist high or already just did and got hit by a car going southbound toward camden in the left lane and we say toward camden because that is where police at 3 30 this morning just three hours after the accident something led to this location at 29th and clinton. They got the car. Main somebody got license plate here at the burger king and maybe a witness. Look the at the video we shot up the street, alex and mike, browning road a main road in pennsauken and is there one of those buttons that the man had just walk 40 seconds that is how long it took me to go take a picture he could have hit that button and safely hopefully cross that had road. If he doesnt trust people will stop at the light which people frequently dont do there is a pedestrian walk bridge at the next intersection which was three and half minute walk. Sadly man chose to jaywalk and he got killed. So important to make sure you use crosswalk and press buttons to cross safely. Take that extra 40 seconds. Lauren, what else. Prosecutors have filed charges in the case we first told but last week that set facebook on fire. Paul cojocaro is charged with aggravated assault as a result of the video showing him pull edge a teenage boy in facebook. Police say he is the man in that video, after the video was posted, several people came forward, claiming he trained in mixed martial arts and he is now free, on bail.

Watch this dramatic video caught on surveillance camera in east germantown. A man arm with the rifle just walks the streets, calmy and then starts shooting at another man last thursday. The victim was hit four times, he remains in Critical Condition and so he is unable to tell police compactly what happened, but police do know that victim was targeted. New jersey lawmakers are considering a bill aimed at making Drinking Water at schools a safer for kid. Bill a announced yesterday would require all schools to immediately test Drinking Water for lead contamination, this comes avenue washing schools shut off fountains at 30 facilities earlier this month. It lead is detect School Officials must take immediate action to provide another source of Drinking Water. Were not a third world nation. This is United States of america. We live in new jersey which is probably one of the most wealthiest, and healthiest states in the country, so, why wouldnt we do the things that we need to do right now. That bill would require schools to test water supply at least twice a year, legislation is still in the early stage and has not gone to the governors desk just yet, mike and alex. What a Concept Testing water for our kid. Parents and Community Members searching for answers last night at a school, a a local school, it is Conestoga High School. This is after what happened last october, dave. Remember Football Team in the middle of the hazing investigation but now they are just talking to parents bit. Reporter talking to parents and student at the lets about the whole thing. This meeting was closed to the public over allegations involving football members taking part in the hazing. We were told that it was not to include our camera. We were not allowed inside. But the incident discussed was reported last objecting. D. A. Tom hogan says at the time three seniors held down a 14 yearold freshman in the locker room and sexually assaulted him when he refused team hazing, in the wake of the investigation. Head coach john vogan resigned and Administration Says they are actually looking for a head coach starting to day to replace the one who lift. Also district officials relieved the entire varsity and jv staff of their duties saying there was in the enough supervision in the locker room. Some who a tended the meeting filled us in on what people had to say inside. I think most of it was in expert of the players because not everybody was involve in the a hazing. I think a lot of support of the coaches. There was talk about the administration, you know, role in this that they didnt really do a good job in creating the policies and the 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 when things all shake out everything will be fine. Reporter some speculate that the administration is holding back more information related to this incident while others dont believe anything happened at all. The not only were our cameras not allowed inside meeting last night the but we were kick off the property while reporting there this morning. Back to you. All right. Either it happened or it didnt, can we figure it out . People actually, want to necessity what is going on. Well, what a wild day in d. C. Yesterday, at two different locations at the same time. U. S. Capitol Visitors Center there will be back opened this morning, we think after some tense moments there yesterday. Police shot a man yesterday, allegedly wielding a gun as he went through the security checkpoint when the alarm went off prompting a lock down at both capitol and white house. We have two situations there, doug, nothing at capitol but another incident a different incident at the white house, doug . Reporter good morning, both police will beef up security today. They dont think this is part of the broader plot but man they shot well known to police. Moment of terror for tourist who were told to move fast as Police Confront what appears to be a clear threat, a gunman at u. S. Capitol security checkpoint. All of a sudden there was just a scramble with people yelling, screaming, and officers just coming out from every direction with guns drawn, saying shots had been fired. Reporter chaos police shot and wounded a man and response that followed was massive. It was uncertainty as to whether there were other assailants or threats this was much of the world on edge in the wake of the last weeks terror attacks in brussels. Based on the initial investigation we believe this is act of a Single Person who has frequented the capitol ground before and there is no reason to believe that this is anything more than a criminal act. Reporter in fact, the suspect was known here. Back in october, 66 yearold larry dawson of tennessee interrupted proceedings in the u. S. House, shouting bible verses and placed under court order to stay away from the capitol. His vehicle yesterday was quickly located and towed and he has been charged with assault. Visitors center opened up in 2002, a in part due to security concerns but it became a massively over budged and over scheduled designed to welcome tourist and protect capitol which, during this incident, it may have done. The guns were drawn, they were out, you know, making sure we were safe but it was pretty, anxiety producing, that part of it. Police think security procedures work well yesterday. You know, the whole idea behind the Visitor Center which largely would enhance security around here, rather than people walking up to the actual building, they would go a short distance and Visitor Center is largely underground but you you see a couple big pillars sticking up there. It keeps the security checkpoint. A fair distance from the actual Capitol Building itself. At least metal detector went off minute he walk through it and he pulled his gun out. Lets bring you up to date on the other story that happened at the same time on d. C. A lot going on in d. C. Yesterday. Also there was one of the largest public events, hosted by the white house, annual easter egg roll but when shooting happened at Capitol Secret Service took routine measure to secure the complex. Activities on the south lawn they continued as normal. Event was interrupted for a short time when a woman tried to get through a security barrier and she was arrested. It was is first hundred 38th version of the event. More than 35,000 people the gathered on the south lawn and this is final egg roll of the obama administration. So there are a lot of people there, and then there was beyonce, jayz, blue ivy, shack, monica, the singer. Yes. And a also, in another weird thing about that, with man allowed into this easter egg roll who jumped the barricade, she had done it before last fall. Not the easter egg roll role but she tried to jump a barricade at the white house. The what is going on. How did she get an invitation. That is invitation only, sue. It happened in a span of hours. Basically, half an hour. Yeah. Hi, sue. We will have five things you do to make your allergies worse. It is already pretty bad. Look at wednesday and thursday. High pollen levels. So, we dont want it to be worse then it already is out there so make sure you are tune in at 8 15 for some good advice about making it better, take your medicines if you are a allergic to tree pollen because tomorrow and thursday are the high levels, today medium high and that wind blowing everything all around, but at least all of the precipitation from yesterday is out. It lasted during morning. Then wind took over and probably hearing that wind all afternoon and evening. The wind is ushering in chillier temperatures. While we are at 48 it is only in the 30s in pittsburgh, dayton, ohio and detroit, michigan. That is air mass heading here throughout the daytoday. Sunshine will not warm us up a whole lot, at 70 degrees. We are at 48 here. Thirtythree mount pocono. Fortysix wildwood. Fortyone lancaster. Feels chillier then that. Look at lancaster wind chill only 34 degrees and feels like 21 in mount pocono. Chilly start to the day but we will recover nicely. Wind are not quite as gusty as they were yesterday, but still wind which 35 miles an hour win gust. Pack wind gust in philadelphia was 47 miles an hour. So, as bob kelly has been saying all morning branches are down every where. Some cases your trash can went down the block as well. We did manage 07 degrees yesterday. Today only 55. Fiftynine tomorrow. Seventy on thursday. But then here comes the rain. Lets see what we can do about this. Fridays situation for april fools day and good day philadelphia a anniversary, because we have rain and thunderstorms in the forecast right now. Bob kelly, we will work on that. My neighbor got new trash cans so im hoping the win was blowing my way, quickly upgrade. Quickly spray paint my house number on there having some fun on tuesday morning. Thirty minute delays not fun on the paoli line. Up to 30 minutes now, all due to amtrak signal problems. That wind is causing delays now at laguardia. About an hour on arrivals and departures and that will have a domino effect here in philadelphia as sue mentioned with the wind, if it was trash collection day, your lid is down the block, boxes in the roadway there, was branches, i passed this morning, on the way in. So some obstacles in the neighborhood. Eastbound schuylkill a little sun glare just about ready to pop up and over that tree line at the conshohocken curve, put about 21 minutes on the clock, half an hour west on the turnpike from philly over to valley forge. We had an earlier accident on 95 south at 320. Accident gone but delays in both directions near Commodore Barry. Also left over delays on the blue route, 476 from macdade to i95. 422 heavy here eastbound from collegeville into king of prussia downtown we will go sun bouncing off the signs here right there the at vine street expressway and we are backup approaching 30th street station. Mass transit, other than paoli line were in good shape this morning. Pass is tip, gostisbehere takes ate way, gets it to giroux who scores. Less than 15 seconds left in overtime the captain Claude Giroux scores overtime game winner. You know, we sometimes dont do well in shootouts. But we had a lot of help from ghost, to keep the flyers alive in the playoff race. Much needed home win. We will call him team gg. Ghost and giroux. Much needed home win for flyers who were exhausted from a game road trip which took them to phoenix. Way out in the west coast. I was pretty tired. I tried to get it back, because they had three on two. They missed the net. I was able to get it. Ghost had a break away. I was pretty tired. I could not make the pass. He did a good job recovering the puck and put it in. Bad news for flyers red rings the team they are neck and neck with in the standings to get that last playoff a spot. Yeah. They are still tied for that final spot. They won. Yep. We have to just keep going. Keep going. Yes. It doesnt get any easier for flyers, they will host capitols the best team in the league, tomorrow night at 8 00. Wells fargo arena will be rocking. Umhmm. We have a chance for the number eight spot. We also have a chance for National Championship this this city. Villanova takes on oklahoma sooners saturday night at 6 09. They are prepping for those sooners because sooners are very, very good. Some people are nervous because they played oklahoma in the pearl harbor classic. That was back in december. That was worst loss. They might be on a ship actually. Yeah, they lost by 24 or 23 points. But i still believe because both teams they are different. They have mature. They have been through a lot. Final four presents different challenges. The plus it is march madness. You never know what will happen. When you get to houston all sorts of distractions. There is nothing that can prepare you for this and after you go through it, you realize, wow, you know i should have done some things differently. I hope we have learned and we are doing things a little bit better but nothing like this week, nothing. Nothing like it. That is why we will be watching saturday night. Go nova. M
