And which has also been recovered, and was taken into custody, with no incident, nobody hurt, no further civilians hurt, and our Police Offers remembers safe, as well. So, this bridges somewhat closure and conclusion to a brief manhunt, but his couldnt have been done without a federal, state and local officers working together. And also, he said it, couldnt have been done without tips from the public, people saw the car first, karen, and then they saw him walking on the streets in their neighborhood, and they were all on the phone to 911, so great cooperation from the public in this case. Right to the angle of the story, thank you, steve. Manhunt crossed two states, and it lasted ten hours, and it all came to ends in one of those neighborhoods where people did pick up the phones. This is newark, right off the four seasons parkway. We know there is a suspect in the back of the cruiser there. They had helicopters up, they had so many different agencies, federal, state, local. There is the suspect being taken into custody. They were all over this development. People thereunder stand bridge, concerned. Just shocking, you know, in your hometown, to think this going on, especially in my little development, you know . Our neighbor came in. She said something crazes going on, we need to get in the house. And then this all happened few minute later. There is the suspect steve talk about it, one of the at letter people and neighbor in that Community Aiding in his arrest. Witness called to a tip line to say they saw him walking on a road right near a Shopping Center and a high school there, thats how they helped to get him off the streets. 5 04, this morning search for killer of 17 year old boy, teen shot around 7 30 last night right there on north 67 street. This is the west oaklane section of the city. When police got there, they found that child with gunshot wounds to his head, and his chest, they raised him to the hospital but did he die. We dont have any arrests in that case. To grays ferry where a teen is fighting for his life after being shot multiple times. This one happened last evening, on educating street. There was a 16 year old shot multiple times in the groin. They took him to the hospital. We dont know his condition at this hour. Police are still looking for that gunman. We know that three people have been charged with a massive amount of drugs, police say, they found it in their homes. Well show you them. There are the suspect. The Mercer County Narcotics Task force says it found hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of marijuana, and cocaine, so just the marijuana alone has a street value of more than 100 400,000.

There are tw churches up in the northeast, they say theyve been targeted by robbers, we will take you to the scene, saint dominicks in holmesburg, frandford avenue, robbed few days ago. So they say the crooks wounds their way through some of the bassment, went through the building, even into the sanctuary, and the choir loft. That church is 160 years old, theyve now installed security cameras, and are hoping the culprit can be caught quickly. Pretty lets pray for these people actually that they get caught before something bad happens. So far, what theyre seeing with the cameras, is when the camera spots somebody, there is alarm that goes off, and the burglars run away dropping whatever they have in their hands. We head to another church also hit, st. Katherine every siena broken into also last week, in that case looking the at chalices, thats what they got, chalices and other items. 5 06.

Hes being held in the prison right now. And there is a new reward, this is really important, because i really want to catch the vandals behind some really hateful racist graph even eat i. At one of the colleges over at cabrini university. The school now offering 5,000 bucks if youve got the information that can lead to arrest and conviction. This comes because the Radnor Police thought they had been zeroing in on what had been happening, but then told the university they really didnt have enough evidence to provide certainty for arrest. There were student there, thats what they found, just hurtful, mean things, slurs, real ill, on their dorm room doors last month. So police help out if you know something. 5 07. Political news, you decide. The race for new jersey governor heating up. They had the big debate last night. Republican Lieutenant Governor kim, and democrat fill murphy going headtohead, their second and final debate, so they clashed on big issues talking about taxes also free college tuition, that would be nice, host of other issues, even talking about First Responder pay. The Pension Plans cents have been under funded in the christie glad danno years by 23 billion. You see nothing because we have no plan whatsoever. Phil has no plan whatsoever to fully funds that pension. Here is a big headline on this, former president owe bamm is a is going to be in new jersey today to stump for murphy, the democrat. New jersey govenorelect, and new governor will happen on november 7th. Which of course is election day. Happening today, candidates for Philadelphia District attorney are going to be squaring off this evening.

Theyre vying to replace kelly hodge, serving as the inner i am da after taking over of course for Seth Williams who resigned after pleading guilty to bribe bring charges. He has a case coming up in just a couple every dates, a sentencing hearing. The debate will begin at 6 00 in founders hall. Happening today the final push to get amazon to pick us, pick us, show us the love. Bids for amazons Second Headquarters are due, and were certainly in the mix for this one. A lot of these different magazines and agencies saying hey, we got a chance, we got a chance, jenny joyce. We definitely have a chance, this could mean big things. This could mean 50,000 new jobs here in the city of philadelphia. It could also mean money, big money. Amazon promises billions of dollars in investment, where ever its Second Headquarters lands. Philly says, come here. The city is pushing it walkable, great restaurant, thriving art scene, and several top notch attractions. The public made it pitch to amazon, on a chalk board set up outside of city hall this week. The city pushing it big city feel with a cheaper cost of living, as compared to new york, boston, and dc. Well the citys business sector is largely involved in the amazon proposal, so, too, is the Higher Education community. Student at Top Business School were asked to get in on the action and create their own pitches as to why amazon should choose the city of brotherly love. Lots of people involved in this. Most are excited, but not all. I think this effort has already made leaps and bound to philadelphia saying, you know, wait a second. We could actually do this, right . And i think we could be a destination city for amazon. We will just crowd everything. They need like four whole city blocks for the size of their complex. They should be begging us if they want to come here. I think it would be ridiculous to offer any give aways to amazon. Phillys pitch includes three videos proving why this town just makes sense for the monster retailer. Other local cities vying for amazons attention in pennsylvania, harrisburg, scranton, allentown and chester, these cities dont necessarily meet amazons requirements, because of population size, transportation, et cetera, but theyre putting in for it anyway, karen. Cant win if you dont throw your hat in the wing, kinds of like the lottery.
