BALLOTS IN PENNSYLVANIA CONTINUES. WILL EVERYTHING BE SETTLED BY ELECTION DAY? THIS IS COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON. WGAL NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE STARTS NOW. A LANCASTER COUNTY SCHOOL PUT ON LOCKDOWN TODAY. STUDENTS EVACUATED FOLLOWING A REPORT OF A POSSIBLE ACTIVE SHOOTER. WELCOME TO NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE, EVERYONE. I’M BRIAN ROACH. I’M LORI BURKHOLDER AT THE LANCASTER COUNTY CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER IN WILLOW STREET. RESPONDED TO THAT THREAT. NEWS EIGHT’S BARBARA BARR IS LIVE OUTSIDE THE CTC WITH THE EMOTIONAL REACTIONS FROM THE FAMILIES TODAY. BARBARA. YEAH, IT’S BEEN A TOUGH DAY, BRIAN. AND LORI WEST LAMPETER TOWNSHIP POLICE RECEIVED A 911 CALL RIGHT BEFORE 930 FROM A CONCERNED RELATIVE OF A STUDENT ABOUT THE POTENTIAL THREAT OF AN ACTIVE SHOOTER ON CAMPUS, SO THE SCHOOL WAS EVACUATED AND NO SHOOTER WAS FOUND. BUT THIS CERTAINLY CAUSED A VERY TENSE AND SCARY SITUATION FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. PARENTS AND THEIR CHILDREN SHARED HUGS AND TEARS DURING EMOTIONAL REUNIONS AT THE WILLOW STREET MENNONITE CHURCH. I’M JUST THANKFUL TO GOD THAT ALL THESE KIDS ARE SAFE. WEST LAMPETER TOWNSHIP POLICE RECEIVED A CALL JUST BEFORE 930 REPORTING A THREAT OF A POTENTIAL ACTIVE SHOOTER AT THE CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER IN WILLOW STREET. THE SCHOOL WENT ON LOCKDOWN. COPS CAME IN WITH ARMS AND EVERYTHING. THEY SAT US IN THE CORNER AND THEN THEY LOCKED US IN CLOSETS. HEAVILY ARMED POLICE ARRIVED AND BEGAN SEARCHING THE BUILDING. WE WALKED TO EVERY CLASSROOM, IDENTIFY EVERYBODY. BE SURE EVERYBODY’S FINE. THERE’S NO THREAT IN THAT ROOM. AND THEN WE EVACUATE EVERYBODY OUT WITH A POLICE ESCORT. THEY ALL HAD, LIKE ARS WITH FLASHLIGHTS, SCOPES, EVERYTHING. YEAH. WE HAD TO HOLD OUR HANDS UP. POLICE DIDN’T FIND ANY THREAT. A NUMBER OF STUDENTS HAD TEXTED FAMILY MEMBERS ABOUT THE SITUATION. THANKFULLY, SHE HAD HER PHONE ON HER AND SHE COULD BE ON THE PHONE AND LET US KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING. STUDENTS WERE THEN BUSSED TO THE CHURCH, WHERE WORRIED PARENTS WAITED AND WONDERED ABOUT WHAT CAN BE DONE TO PREVENT SOMETHING LIKE THIS FROM HAPPENING AGAIN. I THINK THAT THEY NEED TO BE A COP IN EVERY SCHOOL LIKE I THINK THAT US PARENTS SHOULD FIGHT FOR THAT AND AND MAKE IT HAPPEN HONESTLY, BECAUSE THIS IS NOT FAIR FOR THE KIDS. THEY GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN. IT WAS JUST TO EVEN BE ON THE PHONE AND TO HEAR THE KIDS IN THE OFFICE WHERE SHE WAS HELD AT CRYING AND INTIMIDATED. THEY WERE LIKE, THAT’S A TERRIBLE FEELING. AND POLICE DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A VAGUE THREAT. THEY SAY THAT’S BEEN CIRCULATING ONLINE AMONG OTHER SCHOOLS IN RECENT WEEKS. CTC HERE CALLED IT A NOT A CREDIBLE THREAT. AND AGAIN, THE BUILDING WAS CLEARED. SEVERAL POLICE DEPARTMENTS JOINED WEST LAMPETER TOWNSHIP, INCLUDING EAST LAMPETER TOWNSHIP STATE POLICE PARKWAY AND OTHERS. LIVE IN LANCASTER COUNTY. I’M BARBARA BARR FOR NEWS EIGHT. MEANWHILE, LEWISTOWN BOROUGH POLICE SAY A STUDENT WAS QUESTIONED AND LATER ADMITTED TO WRITING A THREAT OF SCHOOL VIOLENCE IN A GIRLS RESTROOM AT MIFFLIN COUNTY MIDDLE SCHOOL. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MONDAY. POLICE SAY CHARGES WILL NOW BE FILED. AND THIS JUST IN BREAKING NEWS FROM LANCASTER COUNTY. THE MAN PREVIOUSLY CHARGED IN A DEADLY CRASH THAT KILLED A PAIR OF SIBLINGS, A BROTHER AND SISTER, WAS JUST FOUND NOT GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS. 40 YEAR OLD CESAR TORRES WAS CHARGED IN THE MAY 2021 CRASH THAT KILLED 21 YEAR OLD BRANDY CASPER AND HER 18 YEAR OLD BROTHER LENNY. TORRES TESTIFIED THAT HE BELIEVED THAT LIGHT WAS GREEN WHEN HE DROVE HIS CAR CARRIER THROUGH THE INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 72 AND GREYSTONE ROAD IN EAST PETERSBURG. THE RULING AGAIN JUST CAME DOWN. WE’RE STILL WORKING TO WHAT HAPPENED IN COURT TODAY. SO STAY WITH US ON AIR. AND ALSO ONLINE. FOR MORE DETAILS ON THAT CASE. AND A DEADLY CRASH EARLY THIS MORNING NEAR HARRISBURG IS STILL UNDER INVESTIGATION. THAT CRASH HAPPENED AROUND 230 ON WALNUT STREET IN SUSQUEHANNA TOWNSHIP. IT SHUT DOWN THE ROAD FOR NEARLY FIVE HOURS. SUSQUEHANNA TOWNSHIP POLICE SAY ONE PERSON WAS KILLED AFTER TWO VEHICLES COLLIDED, HITTING A UTILITY POLE AND KNOCKING DOWN POWER LINES. THE CRASH CLEARED JUST ABOUT JUST AFTER 7:00 THIS MORNING. I WAS HONESTLY REALLY SHOCKED. I MEAN, I MEAN, THE SCHOOL HAS NO PLACE FOR KATELYN SMITH LIKE THAT. AND YOU KNOW, WHEN I HEARD ABOUT IT, I JUST I COULDN’T BELIEVE IT. GETTYSBURG COLLEGE HAS SUSPENDED TWO OF ITS STUDENTS ACCUSED OF SCRATCHING A RACIAL SLUR INTO THE ARM OF ANOTHER STUDENT. THE SCHOOL SAYS MEMBERS OF THE SWIM TEAM SCRATCHED THE RACIAL SLUR ONTO A TEAM MEMBER USING A PLASTIC OR CERAMIC TOOL. THE STATEMENT GOES ON TO SAY THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS REPORT, WHICH IS BEING ACTIVELY ASSESSED THROUGH THE STUDENT CONDUCT PROCESS. AT THIS POINT, THE STUDENTS INVOLVED ARE NOT PARTICIPATING IN SWIM TEAM ACTIVITIES PENDING THE OUTCOME OF THE STUDENT CONDUCT PROCESS. WE SPOKE TO STUDENTS NEAR CAMPUS TODAY WHO ARE NOW PROCESSING WHAT HAPPENED. PRETTY DISGUSTED. IT’S JUST KIND OF SAD LIKE THAT STUFF STILL HAPPENS TODAY. LIKE EVEN THOUGH LIKE, YOU KNOW, WE TALK ABOUT ALL THE TIME, LIKE, YOU KNOW, HAVING INCLUSION AND LIKE, NOT DOING THAT TYPE OF STUFF ANYMORE. YOU KNOW, IT’S BEEN IT’S 2024. YOU KNOW, YOU CAN’T BE DOING THAT STUFF. AND IT’S JUST SAD TO SEE THAT PEOPLE STILL THINK THAT WAY. AND ACT THAT WAY. AND JUST CAN’T HAVE THAT. NEWS EIGHT ALSO REACHED OUT TO GETTYSBURG POLICE TODAY, AND THEY TELL US THE SCHOOL NEVER REPORTED THIS SITUATION TO THEM. POLICE EVEN SAY THEY ONLY LEARNED ABOUT THIS SITUATION THIS MORNING THROUGH THE COLLEGE NEWSPAPER. GETTYSBURG POLICE CHIEF ROBERT GLENNIE JR SAID THE COLLEGE TOLD HIM, QUOTE, THAT THE STUDENT VICTIM CHOSE NOT TO HANDLE THIS THROUGH POLICE, BUT RATHER THROUGH THE COLLEGE’S INTERNAL INVESTIGATORY PROCESS. THE SCHOOL MAINTAINED THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO ENCOURAGE THE STUDENT TO TAKE THIS MATTER TO TO THE POLICE, BUT THAT IT IS ULTIMATELY THE STUDENT’S DECISION. A YORK COUNTY JUDGE HAS ISSUED A GAG ORDER IN A MURDER CASE INVOLVING A TEENAGE SUSPECT THAT IS SET TO BE TRIED, WHO IS SET TO BE TRIED AS AN ADULT. NOLAN GROVE, NOW 15 YEARS OLD, IS CHARGED WITH THIRD DEGREE MURDER IN THE SHOOTING DEATH OF 12 YEAR OLD KANE HYLAND. HE WAS 13 WHEN HYLAND WAS KILLED IN 2023. THE GAG ORDER COULD BAN ALL OF THOSE INVOLVED IN THE CASE FROM PUBLICLY TALKING ABOUT THE DEVELOPMENTS OUTSIDE OF THE COURTROOM. GROVE RECENTLY MADE BAIL AFTER THE VALUE OF THE BALLOT WAS LOWERED, AND AT LAST CHECK HE’S ON HOUSE ARREST. LANCASTER CITY POLICE ANNOUNCED A SECOND JUVENILE HAS NOW BEEN ARRESTED IN CONNECTION TO MONDAY’S SHOTS FIRED INCIDENT. THAT NIGHT, AFTER 9:00, LANCASTER POLICE SAY THEY RECEIVED SEVERAL CALLS OF GUNSHOTS AROUND EAST NEW STREET AND NORTH SHIPPEN STREET. POLICE SAY IT STARTED WHEN A FIGHT BROKE OUT DURING A HOUSE PARTY. AND MOMENTS LATER, TWO PEOPLE SHOT INTO THAT HOME. NO INJURIES WERE REPORTED, BUT THERE WAS MINOR DAMAGE TO TWO HOMES. ANYONE WITH INFORMATION IS ASKED TO CONTACT POLICE. LET’S GET A LIVE LOOK NOW ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY, MOSTLY BLUE SKIES, A FEW PUFFY CLOUDS HERE AND THERE. USING OUR SKYCAM NETWORK. MUCH WARMER OUT THERE TODAY THAN IT HAS BEEN, BUT IT’S THURSDAY, SO WE’RE ASKING WHAT DOES THE WEEKEND HOLD IN STORE? THE MAN WITH THE ANSWER IS METEOROLOGIST ETHAN HUSTON. THIS IS OFFICIALLY THE LAST PIECE OF ASTRONOMICAL SUMMER. CERTAINLY FEELS LIKE IT OUT THERE AS WE ARE SEEING MORE SUNSHINE AND MORE WARMTH IN THE PAST COUPLE OF DAYS, AND IT’S GOING TO STAY WARM AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKIES RIGHT NOW. OUR GETTYSBURG SKYCAM IS THE CLOUD COVER HAS SLOWLY ERODED FROM NORTH TO SOUTH AS THAT DRIER CANADIAN AIR HAS MOVED IN THE VALLEY, SO WE’VE GOT THAT SUMMERLIKE WARMTH, BUT NOT THE HUMIDITY AS IT FEELS NICE OUT THERE WITH DEW POINTS IN THE 50S, 85 IF YOU’RE WATCHING US FROM LEBANON, CURRENTLY 84, IN THE RED ROSE CITY AND THE SHOWERS THAT WE’VE BEEN TRACKING AND THAT LIGHT DRIZZLE, THOSE ARE OFF DOWN TO OUR SOUTH AND WEST AND THAT’S WHERE THEY SHOULD STAY. SO AS WE LOOK AT THAT 12 HOUR FORECAST, LOOK FOR MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND TEMPERATURES FALL TO THE LOWER 60S AS WE GO THROUGH THE NIGHT TONIGHT, AS WE GET CLOSER TO DAWN, WE COULD GET SOME PATCHY FOG. NOW IT’S GOING TO BE WARM AS WE END SUMMER AGAIN. FALL STARTS ON SUNDAY AND IT’S GOING TO START TO FEEL LIKE IT A LITTLE BIT COOLER OUT THERE, BUT OUR WEATHER PATTERN STARTS TO TURN UNSETTLED. WE’RE TALKING A BIT MORE ACTIVE ROUNDS OF SHOWERS NEARLY EVERY DAY IN THE UPDATED TEN DAY FORECAST, SOME DAYS WILL BE WETTER THAN OTHERS. FIND OUT WHICH ONE’S COMING UP IN JUST A FEW MINUTES. ALL RIGHT. ETHAN. THANK YOU. LET’S GET TO COMMITMENT 2024 COVERAGE NOW. AND WE MAY NOT KNOW WHO WILL BE LISTED ON YOUR BALLOT THIS YEAR, BUT QUESTIONS REMAIN ABOUT WHICH BALLOTS WON’T COUNT BECAUSE OF MISTAKES. THAT WOULD INVALIDATE THEM. NEWS EIGHT’S TOM LEHMAN JOINS US LIVE IN OUR HARRISBURG NEWSROOM ON WHY THEY’RE STILL SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY. TOM. YEAH, BRIAN, WE’RE JUST A MONTH AND A HALF AWAY FROM THE ELECTION, AND WE JUST ACTUALLY HAD A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN ONE OF THESE COURT CASES. IT DEALS WITH BALLOTS THAT ARRIVE AT COUNTY BOARDS OF ELECTION WITHOUT A DATE OR ONE THAT’S JUST CLEARLY INCORRECT. STATE LAW. WHEN YOU’RE FILLING OUT A MAIL BALLOT ENVELOPE, REQUIRES A SIGNATURE AND A DATE ON THE ENVELOPE, EVEN THOUGH THERE’S NO REAL ADMINISTRATIVE REASON WHY COUNTIES NEED THEM SINCE THEY RECORD WHEN THE BALLOTS ARRIVED BEFORE THE DEADLINE ON ELECTION NIGHT. NOW, THE ACLU AND A NUMBER OF GROUPS ARGUED IN COURT THAT MISDATED OR UNDATED MAIL BALLOT ENVELOPES SHOULD NOT BE THROWN OUT. SOMETHING INITIALLY HELD UP BY COMMONWEALTH COURT. BUT HERE’S THE THING THAT RULING WAS VACATED LAST WEEK BY THE STATE SUPREME COURT AND THEY AFFIRMED TODAY THAT THE LAWSUIT IS DISMISSED. THERE MAY STILL BE LEGAL ACTION TO COME, THOUGH. A RETIRED ELECTIONS DIRECTOR SAID VOTERS THEMSELVES, NO MATTER WHAT THE COURTS DECIDE, CAN ENSURE THAT THEIR BALLOT COUNTS IF THEY DO, ONE SIMPLE THING, IT’S REALLY CLEAR VOTE YOUR BALLOT AS YOUR CHOICE. PUT IT IN THE PRIVACY ENVELOPE, PUT IT IN THE RETURNS SIGN IN DAY’S DATE TODAY, AND THEN GET IT BACK TO THE ELECTION OFFICE BEFORE 8 P.M. ELECTION DAY. SO BASICALLY, JUST FOLLOW THE LAW. NOW, THE DATE ISSUE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT’S BEING LITIGATED. THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SEPARATE LAWSUITS IN A NUMBER OF DIFFERENT COURTS THAT ALL DEAL WITH HOW COUNTIES SHOULD HANDLE BALLOTS THAT SHOW UP WITH SIGNATURE OR PRIVACY ENVELOPE ISSUES. WHEN THAT MAIL BALLOT ENVELOPE ARRIVES AT THE COUNTY BOARD OF ELECTION, WE ARE EXPECTING MORE LEGAL ACTION ON THE DATE ISSUE AND OTHER DECISIONS TO COME ON SOME OF THOSE OTHER TOPICS. I JUST MENTIONED. SO THE QUESTION IS, WILL THIS HAVE AN EFFECT ON HOW BALLOTS ARE COUNTED ON ELECTION DAY? I’LL HAVE MORE ABOUT THAT COMING UP AT SIX. BUT FOR NOW, IN OUR HARRISBURG NEWSROOM, TOM LEHMAN, NEWS EIGHT. ALL RIGHT, TOM, THANKS. WE’LL SEE YOU AT SIX. SO FAR AS DATES GO, NOVEMBER 5TH, AS YOU KNOW, IS THE ELECTION. HERE ARE THE OTHER DEADLINES. OCTOBER 21ST. THAT’S THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER FOR THE ELECTION. OCTOBER 29TH. THAT’S THE LAST DAY YOU CAN REQUEST A MAIL IN BALLOT. AND THE BALLOT MUST BE RECEIVED BY THE ELECTIONS OFFICE BY 8 P.M. ON ELECTION DAY. COMING UP, ALL NEW ON NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE. QUESTION WAS, WAS HE READY TO TAKE THOSE BOMBS TO SCALE? HAVE VERY LARGE BOMBS THAT COULD BLOW UP, THAT HE COULD BLOW UP REMOTELY. A PENNSYLVANIA TEENAGER ALLEGEDLY IN CAHOOTS WITH TERROR ORGANIZATIONS OVERSEES THE DEADLY PROJECT. POLICE SAY THAT HE WAS WORKING ON. NEWS 8 TALKED ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF THEM COMING TO PENNSYLVANIA, AND NOW THEY ARE HERE. SEE WHERE THESE GIANT FLYING SPIDERS WERE RECENTLY SPOTTED IN THE KEYSTONE STATE? I DON’T GET OVERLY TIRED. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN HIGH ENERGY AND I GUESS I’LL KEEP IT UP. DON’T KNOW WHEN TO QUIT. I’M HAVING TROUBLE GETTING OLD. THAT’S A GOOD PROBLEM TO HAVE. WHAT THIS SOON TO BE 88 YEAR OLD IS DOING FOR THAT BIG BIRTHDAY? THAT WOULD BE TOUGH FOR A LOT OF US YOUNGER FOLKS. AND NEWS EIGHT VIEWERS ARE RECEIVING A LETTER FROM A COMPANY THEY’VE NEVER HEARD OF ABOUT A DATA BREACH. THEY MIGHT BE INVOLVED IN. I’M ON YOUR SIDE TONIGHT AT SIX WITH HOW TO TELL A SCA
