NEWS EIGHT’S JAKE REYES IS LIVE AT POLICE HEADQUARTERS IN HARRISBURG WITH THE LATEST ON THIS. JAKE. MADELINE. THESE SHOOTINGS WERE TWO SEPARATE INCIDENTS THAT SENT FOUR PEOPLE TO THE HOSPITAL. AND THEY HAPPENED JUST A BLOCK FROM EACH OTHER. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS VIDEO. WE GATHERED AT THE SCENES OF THESE INCIDENTS. HARRISBURG POLICE RESPONDED TO CALLS OF SHOTS FIRED AT 15 AND CHESTNUT STREETS AROUND 8:24 P.M., AND WHEN OFFICERS ARRIVED, THEY FOUND THREE VICTIMS LYING ON THE GROUND JUST MINUTES AFTER OFFICERS ARRIVED AT THE FIRST SCENE, MORE CALLS CAME IN ABOUT A SHOOTING AT 16TH AND CHESTNUT STREETS, WHERE OFFICERS FOUND A FOURTH VICTIM. ALL FOUR VICTIMS WERE TAKEN TO THE HOSPITAL, BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, THEIR CONDITIONS ARE UNKNOWN. AT THIS TIME, NO SUSPECTS HAVE BEEN NAMED IN EITHER OF THESE INCIDENTS, AND POLICE ARE ASKING ANYONE WITH INFORMATION TO CONTACT THEM. WE DON’T SOLVE THESE CRIMES BY OURSELVES. WE USUALLY HAVE A LOT OF BUY IN FROM THE CITIZENS IN HARRISBURG, BUT IT’S CRUCIAL THAT PEOPLE WHO KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT THESE INCIDENTS COME FORTH AND TALK TO US ABOUT IT SO THAT, YOU KNOW, WE CAN STOP SOME OF THESE THINGS FROM HAPPENING. AND ANYONE WITH TIPS CAN SUBMIT THEM TO POLICE ON THE DEPARTMENT’S CRIME WATCH WEBPAGE OR BY CALLING HARRISBURG POLICE. AND ALTHOUGH THESE SHOOTINGS HAPPENED JUST A BLOCK FROM EACH OTHER, IT’S STILL UNCLEAR IF THEY WERE AT ALL RELATED. WE’LL KEEP YOU UPDATED ON AIR AND ONLINE AS THIS INVESTIGATION CONTINUES. BUT FOR NOW, I’M JAKE REYES, REPORTING LIVE IN HARRISBURG FOR WGAL NEWS EIGHT. I’LL SEND IT BACK TO YOU, MATT. CAITLIN, JAKE. THANK YOU. IN YORK, GHOST GUNS ARE NOW BANNED IN THE CITY AFTER CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS VOTED TO PASS A NEW ORDINANCE LAST NIGHT. GHOST GUNS ARE THOSE UNREGULATED AND UNTRACEABLE GUNS THAT CAN BE PUT TOGETHER JUST USING A KIT. IT ALSO MAKES IT SO THAT POSSESSION USE, TRANSFER AND MANUFACTURING OF GHOST GUNS IS NOW PROHIBITED IN YORK. IT IS ANOTHER MAJOR COMPONENT THAT WE CAN USE TO MAKE SURE OUR RESIDENTS ARE SAFE HERE. OUR BUSINESSES ARE SAFE. OUR COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS ARE SAFE. AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE, AS COMMISSIONER MODROW HAS SHARED, THAT WE HAVE A SAFE COMMUNITY FOR EVERYONE TO COME INTO. ACCORDING TO YORK POLICE, THEY HAVE RECOVERED GHOST GUNS. IN 19 CASES LAST YEAR AND THAT NUMBER WAS UP FROM 22 THE YEAR BEFORE. RIGHT NOW, CLEANUP IS UNDERWAY IN IOWA AFTER SEVERE WEATHER TURNED DEADLY. THIS IS VIDEO SHOWING GREENFIELD, WHICH IS JUST WEST OF DES MOINES. SO MUCH DESTRUCTION THERE. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE SAYS THEY WERE REPORTS OF 20 REPORTS OF TORNADOES IN IOWA YESTERDAY. OFFICIALS SAY SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE DIED, BUT THEY DON’T HAVE AN EXACT NUMBER YET. AND WITH THAT MUCH DAMAGE, WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE’RE DOING OUR DUE DILIGENCE AND MAKING SURE THAT WE DO COVER THAT AREA EXTENSIVELY. AND SO WE HAVE DONE NUMEROUS SEARCHES ALREADY, BUT WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE SEARCH IT EVEN BETTER. IOWA’S GOVERNOR HAS ALREADY SIGNED A DISASTER EMERGENCY PROCLAMATION TO HELP THE AREAS THAT WERE HIT HARDEST. NOW TO THE MIDDLE EAST, WHERE THE UNITED NATIONS IS NOT HANDING OUT FOOD IN SOUTHERN GAZA, AS IT SAYS, IT DOESN’T HAVE ANYTHING TO DISTRIBUTE. AND THE SHORTAGE COMES AFTER THE US OPENED A NEW DELIVERY ROUTE TO GET SUPPLIES TO CIVILIANS. NEWS EIGHT’S AMY LU HAS THE LATEST FROM OUR WASHINGTON BUREAU. AMY. MATT AND CAITLIN. THE PENTAGON’S FLOATING PIER HAS NOT YET REACHED ITS FULL CAPACITY TO MOVE AID, BUT THE MILITARY SAYS IT STILL WORKING OUT THE KINKS DELIVERIES RESUMED TUESDAY AFTER A TWO DAY DELAY AMID A SHORTAGE OF SHIPS ARRIVING AT THE PIER. THE US FACILITATING THE DELIVERY OF AID FROM SHIPS TO GAZA SHORE, WHERE CHARITIES AND THE ISRAELI MILITARY TAKE OVER THE MILITARY’S MOVE. MORE THAN 500 METRIC TONS OF AID SO FAR. BUT ONCE IN GAZA, PALESTINIANS ARE DESPERATE TO GET THOSE SUPPLIES AND HAVE STOPPED DELIVERY TRUCKS. JUST 15 OF 26 TRUCKS HAVE MADE IT TO THEIR DESTINATION. THE US IS WORKING WITH ISRAEL AND THE UNITED NATIONS TO LOOK FOR ALTERNATE ROUTES. THERE’S BEEN DISCUSSIONS BY WHICH TO ENSURE THAT THERE’S ALTERNATE ROUTES SO THAT IT CAN BE DELIVERED TO WAREHOUSES. AGAIN, FULLY APPRECIATING THE DESPERATION, BUT ALSO FULLY APPRECIATING THE FACT THAT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT THIS AID GET TO THE PEOPLE WHO NEED IT MOST. DELIVERIES CONTINUE TO BE THE MOST EFFICIENT WAY TO GET AID INTO GAZA, BUT ISRAEL HAS OFTEN RESTRICTED ACCESS OVER SECURITY CONCERNS AND AID GROUPS SAY THERE CURRENTLY IS A LACK OF MANPOWER IN WASHINGTON. I’M AMY LU WGAL NEWS EIGHT. ALL RIGHT. THANKS, AMY. 606 NOW ON AN ANTI BULLYING EVENT THAT WAS ORIGINALLY CANCELED BY THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY SCHOOL BOARD IS SET TO HAPPEN TONIGHT AT THE MOUNTAIN VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL.

THE CUMBERLAND VALLEY SCHOOL BOARD ORIGINALLY VOTED TO CANCEL HIS EVENT, SAYING THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT PETRILLI’S QUOTE, LIFESTYLE AND ACTIVISM AND WORRIED THAT IT WOULD BECOME A POLITICAL EVENT THAT LED TO OUTCRY FROM THE COMMUNITY AND PROTESTS AT THE SCHOOL. EVENT. THE BOARD REVERSED ITS DECISION IN A 5 TO 4 VOTE IN LANCASTER COUNTY. THE WARWICK SCHOOL BOARD IS PLANNING TO HIRE A CONSERVATIVE CHRISTIAN LAW FIRM FOLLOWING A VOTE LAST NIGHT. HERE’S A LOOK AT THAT MEETING. AS THE BOARD WAS DECIDING WHETHER TO HIRE THE INDEPENDENCE LAW CENTER, COMMUNITY MEMBERS HAD RAISED CONCERNS ABOUT THE CENTER’S HISTORY WITH SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICTS, WHERE IT HAD HELPED ESTABLISH BOOK BANS, AND ALSO ANTI LGBTQ POLICIES. WHAT HAPPENS IN THESE SCHOOLS WILL AFFECT THEM FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. UNFORTUNATELY, IN TOO MANY SCHOOLS, INCLUDING THIS ONE, D E I REALLY MEANS DIVERSITY, EQUITY AND INCLUSION FOR EVERYONE AND EVERYBODY EXCEPT THOSE EXPRESSING A CHRISTIAN POINT OF VIEW. THE BOARD SAYS THE REASON IT IS WORKING WITH THE ILC IS TO AVOID LITIGATION. ANNE.
