LEARNING WHILE VOLUNTEERING. WGAL NEWS EIGHT BEGINS WITH BREAKING NEWS. GOOD MORNING. I’M MATT BARCARO, I’M CAITLIN SMITH. WE CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THAT BREAKING NEWS RIGHT NOW OF A DEADLY OVERNIGHT CRASH IN FRANKLIN COUNTY. YOU CAN SEE IN THIS VIDEO PART OF 81 IS STILL CLOSED AFTER THAT DEADLY CRASH. DISPATCHERS TELL US ONE PERSON DIED IN THIS CRASH AROUND MIDNIGHT. IT’S ON THE NORTHBOUND LANES NEAR EXIT TEN IN GUILFORD TOWNSHIP. LET’S GO RIGHT TO NEWS EIGHT’S GABRIEL THOMAS. SHE IS FOLLOWING THE LATEST ON THAT CLOSURE. GABRIELLE, IF YOU GUYS ARE TAKING I-81 TO GET TO WORK OR DROP YOUR KID OFF AT SCHOOL, THIS CRASH IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT YOU WANT TO KEEP ON YOUR RADAR THIS MORNING. IT’S ON I-81 NORTHBOUND. AS I SAID BEFORE, EXIT TEN, PA 914, THIS IS MARION AND EXIT 14. NOW, NORTHBOUND LANES ARE CLOSED RIGHT NOW, BUT THOSE SOUTHBOUND LANES ARE FLOWING NICELY. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE. THERE’S SOME RED AND SOME PURPLE. SO IT’S DEFINITELY SLOWING DOWN YOUR MORNING COMMUTE. I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT ANOTHER CRASH IN YORK COUNTY. THIS IS CONEWAGO TOWNSHIP THAT CRASHES ON PA 297 OLD SUSQUEHANNA TRAIL AT CLOVER LEAF ROAD. NOT REALLY IMPACTING TRAFFIC THIS MORNING, BUT SOMETHING YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY KEEP IN MIND AS YOU’RE HEADING OUT THE DOOR. HERE’S A LOOK AT THOSE DRIVE TIMES FOR 22 EASTBOUND HARRISBURG TO LEBANON 36 MINUTES A LITTLE SLOW THIS MORNING. TWO EASTBOUND HARRISBURG TO LANCASTER 34 MINUTES 83 SOUTHBOUND HARRISBURG TO YORK, 19 MINUTES. DRIVE SAFELY. THIS HAS BEEN A LANCASTER TOYOTA TRAFFIC REPORT 602. TAKING A LIVE LOOK FROM OUR LANCASTER SKYCAM ON THIS FRIDAY MORNING. AND FINALLY, IT WILL BE A DAY HOPEFULLY WHERE THE SUN IS OUT AND WE’LL ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO ENJOY IT. GET RID OF THAT WIND. CAN WE? IT’S BEEN IT’S BEEN A WINDY WEEK. I THINK EVERYBODY’S DONE WITH IT ABOUT NOW. SO WE’RE GOING TO KICK THAT WIND TO THE CURB TODAY. IT’S GOING TO BE A MORE ENJOYABLE DAY BECAUSE IT WILL BE WARMER AND IT WILL BE CALMER. AND YOU CAN SEE LIVE IN OUR LEBANON SKY CAM CALM THAT SMOKESTACK THERE RISING STRAIGHT UP IN THE SKY. NO WIND TO DISRUPTED. CURRENTLY 28 IN HARRISBURG 27. LANCASTER 19 EVEN IN LEWISTOWN. THAT’S THE NEW 6:00 OBSERVATION COMING IN. IT’S 30 IN GETTYSBURG. AND OUR 12 HOUR FORECAST TODAY CALLS FOR INCREASING CLOUDS TOWARD EVENING, BUT WE STILL GET A FAIR AMOUNT OF SUNSHINE, HIGHS WILL BE NEAR 50, WHICH IS WARMER THAN YESTERDAY. AND ALTHOUGH THERE WILL BE A GENTLE BREEZE, THIS AFTERNOON ABOUT TEN MILES PER HOUR, IT’S CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO BE AS STRONG AS IT WAS ALL WEEK. NOW. THE CLOUDS THIS EVENING THEY INCREASE AHEAD OF SOME RAIN WHICH IS MOVING UP THE EAST COAST TONIGHT. I’LL LET YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TO EXPECT AND WHO COULD GET THE MOST COMING UP IN MY FULL FORECAST. RIGHT NOW WE ARE TAKING A LIVE LOOK OVER THE U.S. CAPITOL BUILDING IN WASHINGTON, D.C. BECAUSE WE ARE NOW UNDER 24 HOURS FROM A POTENTIAL GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. NOW THAT CAN BE AVOIDED. OF COURSE, AS LONG AS CONGRESS CAN FINISH UP THAT FUNDING LEGISLATION TODAY. BUT CAN THEY DO IT BOTH REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS HAVE VOICED DISAPPROVAL OF THE BUDGET THAT IS NOW NEARLY SIX MONTHS LATE. NEWS EIGHT’S AMY LEUSNER WASHINGTON BUREAU WITH WHERE THINGS STAND THIS MORNING. REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS ARE UNHAPPY WITH WHAT’S IN THE BILLS AND THE PROCESS TO APPROVE THEM AS A $1.2 TRILLION VOTE HANGS IN THE BALANCE. FACING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN AND A BUDGET. WELL PAST DUE. WE ARE PART PAST THE 11TH HOUR. HOUSE AND SENATE LEADERS ARE FORGING AHEAD WITH A VOTE. I THINK THIS WHOLE PROCESS IS BROKEN BETWEEN SPEAKER JOHNSON BREAKING A REPUBLICAN RULE, GIVING 72 HOURS TO CONSIDER THE BILL’S TEXT, GROUPING ALL THE BUDGET BILLS INTO TWO VOTES AND A LACK OF CUTS TO SOCIAL PROGRAMS CONCERNED, ARGUE IT’S NOT WHAT REPUBLICAN HAS PROMISED. AMERICA, WARNING COLLEAGUES, REGARDLESS OF WHAT BAD POLICIES ARE BEING MAINTAINED AND WITHOUT EVEN BEING CONCERNED THAT THEY’RE NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO READ IT. DEMOCRATS ARE UNHAPPY, TOO, ANGRY OVER A LACK OF POLICIES ADDRESSING THE BORDER AND UKRAINE. I JUST WANT TO NEGOTIATE ON SOMETHING, DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE UKRAINIANS. REPORTER BUT LEADERS ARE ADAMANT THE BUDGET MUST GO THROUGH, RELYING ON DEMOCRAT VOTES TO KEEP THE GOVERNMENT OPEN. FIVE TIMES WE HAVE NOW FUNDED AND WE WILL PUT UP THE MAJORITY OF THE VOTES TO FUND GOVERNMENT BECAUSE OURS IS A GROUP AND A CAUCUS THAT BELIEVES IN GOVERNING. DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE DEMANDING REPUBLICANS HOLD A VOTE ON UKRAINIAN AID BEFORE LAWMAKERS LEAVE TOWN FOR TWO WEEKS STARTING TODAY, OR FACE ACTION TO FORCE A VOTE ON IT. HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON SAYS THAT THE HOUSE WILL BE WORKING ON FOREIGN AID NEXT, BUT IT’S STILL UNCLEAR WHAT FORM THAT WILL TAKE IN WASHINGTON. I’M AMY LU, THANKS, AMY. HAPPENING TODAY, AN INTERCHANGE IN JUNIATA COUNTY WILL BE NAMED FOR A STATE TROOPER KILLED IN THE LINE OF DUTY. THE INTERCHANGE AT ROUTES 22, THREE, 22, IN ARCH ROCK ROAD, NORTH OF MIFFLIN TOWN, WILL BE NAMED IN HONOR OF TROOPER JACK TROOPER JACQUES. TROOPER JACQUES WAS SHOT AND KILLED LAST JUNE DURING A MANHUNT IN JUNIATA COUNTY. ANOTHER TROOPER, LIEUTENANT JAMES WAGNER, WAS HURT. NEWS EIGHT’S ANNE SHANNON WILL BE AT TODAY’S CEREMONY AND HAVE COVERAGE THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON AIR AND ONLINE. ANNE. A DAUPHIN COUNTY SCHOOL BUS DRIVER IS NOW FACING CHARGES OF CHILD PORNOGRAPHY. POLICE SAY THEY COLLECTED EVIDENCE OF THAT CRIME FROM THE HOME OF A 56 YEAR OLD, PHILLIP FRYE, IN MIDDLETOWN IN. INVESTIGATORS SAY HE IS A SCHOOL BUS DRIVER FOR FIRST STUDENT BUS SERVICES AND WAS ASSIGNED TO TAKE CHILDREN WHO LIVE IN THE STEELTON-HIGHSPIRE SCHOOL DISTRICT TO DIFFERENT PRIVATE SCHOOLS IN THE HARRISBURG AREA. OFFICERS SAY RIGHT NOW, THOUGH, THERE ARE NO KNOWN CONNECTIONS TO ANY OF THE STUDENTS THAT HE DROVE. STILL, ANYONE WHO DOES WANT TO REPORT ANY CONCERNS OF POTENTIAL CHILD ABUSE SHOULD CONTACT POLICE THIS MORNING. WE HAVE NEW INFORMATION ON THE INVESTIGATION INTO A FIRE IN WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA THAT KILLED A MAN AND FOUR OF HIS CHILDREN. POLICE SAY THEY’RE TREATING WEDNESDAY’S FIRE IN JEANNETTE, WESTMORELAND COUNTY, AS ARSON UNTIL THEY CAN RULE THAT OUT. THE CHILDREN WHO WERE KILLED RANGED IN AGE FROM ONE MONTH TO SEVEN YEARS OLD. TWO OTHER CHILDREN AND THEIR MOTHER GOT OUT OF THE HOME SAFELY. POLICE SAY THE ARSON INVESTIGATION IS NEEDED BECAUSE OF THE MAGNITUDE OF THE DAMAGE. AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, AND THE FACT THAT THERE WERE DEATHS. ARSON IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT CRIMES TO PROVE IN A COURT OF LAW. SO BEING THAT’S THE CASE WITH THE COOPERATION OF THE WESTMORELAND COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S OFFICE AND THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE POLICE, FIRE MARSHALS, UNTIL WE HAVE THE REPORT FROM THE FIRE MARSHAL, WE’RE GOING TO TREAT IT AS A CRIMINAL ACT. SO WE DON’T HAVE TO PLAY CATCH UP AND LOCATE EVIDENCE OR WITNESSES. MONTHS FROM NOW, THE COMMUNITY IN JEANNETTE IS PLANNING A MEMORIAL SERVICE ON MONDAY TO HONOR THE FIVE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO WERE KILLED. POLICE IN YORK COUNTY ARE INVESTIGATING A SHOOTING THAT LEFT ONE MAN HURT. NORTHERN YORK COUNTY REGIONAL POLICE SAY THEY RESPONDED TO THE 5100 BLOCK OF NORTH SUSQUEHANNA TRAIL THAT’S IN CONEWAGO TOWNSHIP. IT WAS JUST AFTER FIVE LAST EVENING. POLICE SAY THE VICTIM WAS TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, BUT THEY HAVE NOT SAID HOW HE IS DOING THIS MORNING AND NEW THIS MORNING, A FIFTH SUSPECT HAS NOW BEEN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION TO THAT MASS SHOOTING THAT LEFT SEVERAL PHILADELPHIA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS HURT. POLICE ARRESTED A 15 YEAR OLD YESTERDAY AND SAY HE HELPED IN THAT SHOOTING NEAR A SEPTA BUS STOP ON MARCH 6TH. THERE YOU SEE THE SUSPECTS. INVESTIGATORS SAY THE TEEN WAS INSIDE A NEARBY STORE AND IDENTIFIED PEOPLE AT THAT BUS STOP FOR THE SHOOTERS. HE EVEN SAYS AT ONE POINT, I’M WEARING THIS TYPE OF CLOTHING. DON’T COOK ME. HE TYPES THE WORD GO, AND THAT’S WHEN YOU SEE ON THE VIDEO THE THE INDIVIDUALS, THE THREE INDIVIDUALS EXIT THE CAR AND WALK TOWARDS THE BUS STOP AND COMMIT THE SHOOTING. EIGHT TEENS WERE HURT IN THAT SHOOTING, INCLUDING A 16 YEAR OLD WHO WAS SHOT NINE TIMES. POLICE SAY THEY ARE NOW INVESTIGATING SEVERAL OTHER CRIMES THAT COULD ALSO BE CONNECTED TO THAT SHOOTING. ALSO NEW THIS MORNING, A THIRD ADULT FACING CHARGES FOR THE DEADLY MASS SHOOTING THAT HAPPENED DURING THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS SUPER BOWL PARADE LAST MONTH. A 20 YEAR OLD MAN IS THE LATEST SUSPECT TO FACE MURDER CHARGES IN THE DEATH OF LISA LOPEZ GALVAN, THE ONLY VICTIM OF THAT SHOOTING WHO WAS KILLED. HE’S ALSO FACING CHARGES FOR HURTING AT LEAST 25 OTHERS, INCLUDING CHILDREN. TWO OTHER ADULTS ALSO CHARGED WITH MURDER AND THREE JUVENILES ARE FACING GUN RELATED CHARGES. BACK HERE IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY AT 608, A 12 YEAR OLD STUDENT IS CHARGED WITH TERRORISTIC THREATS FOLLOWING A REPORT OF A BOMB THREAT AT SUSQUEHANNA MIDDLE SCHOOL THAT’S IN PERRY COUNTY. THIS HAPPENED ON TUESDAY. STATE POLICE DO SAY THAT THAT THREAT WAS NOT CREDIBLE. AND ALSO THE CENTRAL DAUPHIN MIDDLE SCHOOL SAYS THE THREAT MADE AT THAT SCHOOL THIS WEEK WAS FOUND NOT CREDIBLE AS WELL. IN A STATEMENT, THE DISTRICT SPOKESPERSON SAID THE ALLEGED THREAT WAS MADE BY A STUDENT AND THAT POLICE WERE CONTACTED AND AN INVESTIGATION WAS DONE. IT IS 609 AND IT SHOULD BE A NICE DAY TODAY TO GET OUTSIDE, DO SOME YARD WORK AND MAYBE EVEN VOLUNTEER WHILE YOU’RE AT IT. SO HAPPENING TODAY IN HARRISBURG, THE UNITED WAY’S 20TH ANNUAL YOUTH DAY OF CARING IS HAPPENING. ALWAYS A GOOD DAY TO HELP OTHERS AND VOLUNTEER, RIGHT? SO MORE THAN 100 HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE ALREADY SIGNED UP TO DO THIS. THEY’RE GOING TO BE HEADING OUT TO CLEAN UP THE CITY AND ALSO WORK ON SOME LANDSCAPING PROJECTS. PERFECT TIME RIGHT BEFORE SPRING. OH YEAH. LET’S CHECK IN WITH NEWS EIGHT’S TAYLOR HESS. SHE IS JOINING US LIVE FROM HARRISBURG THIS MORNING. GOOD MORNING. TAYLOR. GOOD MORNING, MATT AND CAITLIN. THOSE HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL BE ARRIVING HERE IN JUST A FEW HOURS. IF YOU TAKE A LOOK BEHIND ME, YOU CAN SEE THE EQUIPMENT ALL SET UP. STUDENTS WILL BE WORKING IN 13 DIFFERENT GROUPS ALL THROUGHOUT CITY ISLAND LATER TODAY. AND I’M HERE WITH RAELYNN FROM UNITED WAY. AND CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT EXACTLY STUDENTS WILL BE DOING HERE TODAY? SURE. WE’RE GOING TO HAVE NEARLY 200 STUDENTS HERE HELPING TO BEAUTIFY AND CLEAN UP CITY ISLAND. SO THAT’S EVERYTHING FROM PICKING UP DEBRIS, LAYING DOWN MULCH, PLANTING FLOWERS, DOING SOME PAINTING, FRESHENING UP ALL IN TIME FOR WHEN THE HARRISBURG SENATORS PLAY THEIR OPENING GAME. AND WHY DO YOU THINK THIS IS SO IMPORTANT FOR STUDENTS TO BE VOLUNTEERING? I THINK WE ALL LEARN BY DOING. AND SO BY DOING HANDS ON VOLUNTEERISM, LEARNING THAT YOU’RE MAKING AN IMPACT AND EVERYTHING YOU DO MATTERS. WE’RE HELPING TO INSPIRE OUR NEXT GENERATION OF VOLUNTEERS AND LEADERS, AND STUDENTS WILL BE ARRIVING HERE JUST AFTER NINE TODAY. BUT IF YOU WANT TO GET INVOLVED, YOU CAN GO AHEAD TO THE UNITED WAY WEBSITE TO FIGURE OUT OTHER WAYS TO GET INVOLVED. BUT FOR NOW, IN CITY ISLAND, HARRISBURG, TAYLOR HESS, WGAL NEWS EIGHT LOOKS LIKE THEY HAVE ALL THE EQUIPMENT THAT THE KIDS WILL NEED, AND IT’S FUN TO VOLUNTEER WITH YOUR FRIENDS, RIGHT? GET OUT THERE AND WORK TOGETHER. YEAH, IT SHOULD BE A GOOD ONE TO GET OUT THERE. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, TAYLOR, FOR THAT REPORT IN HARRISBURG. NOW LET’S GO TO CHRISTINE AND GABRIELLE FOR THE REST OF OUR FRIDAY FORECAST AND COMMUTE. IT’S BEEN KIND OF HARD TO GET OUTDOORS THIS WEEK. I THINK IF YOU DON’T IF YOU’RE NOT A FAN OF THE WIND RIGHT, YOU GET BLOWN AROUND. I DID NOT WANT TO STEP OUTSIDE EITHER. I LOVE DAYS SO DIDN’T GET MY WALK IN YESTERDAY, BUT IF YOU DIDN’T EITHER, TODAY WOULD BE A PERFECT DAY TO DO IT. YOU’LL SEE PLENTIFUL SUNSHINE, A COLD START, YES, BUT WE DO GET UP NEAR 50 THIS AFTERNOON AND THE WIND WON’T BE AS STRONG. SO A MORE PLEASANT DAY FOR YOU TODAY. TOMORROW IT’S GOING TO BE HARD TO WALK BECAUSE WE HAVE SOME RAIN. SO WE’LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT SOGGY FORECAST COMING UP. AND IN TERMS OF TRAFFIC, WE’LL TELL YOU ABOUT A MAJOR CRASH WE’RE FOLLOWING I
