Emergency services responded to a crash with entrapment in York County, Pa.

PLAYED IN KICKING OFF THE START OF COMPETITIVE GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL. THIS IS COVERAGE YOU CAN COUNT ON. WGAL NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE STARTS NOW. WELL SCHOOL SHOOTINGS AND THREATS OF VIOLENCE INCREASE. STUDENTS, PARENTS AND STAFF FACE MORE PRESSURE AND ANXIETY THAN EVER THESE DAYS. WELCOME TO NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE. I’M LORI BURKHOLDER AND I’M BRIAN ROACH HERE IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. WE’VE SEEN SEVERAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS RECEIVE THREATS. SO THE CONVERSATION IS MORE RELEVANT NOW THAN EVER. NEWS EIGHT’S BARBARA BARR TALKED TO A HOSPITAL PSYCHOLOGIST. SHE’S LIVE OUTSIDE THE UPMC IN HARRISBURG WITH THEIR MESSAGE TONIGHT. BARBARA. WELL, LORI AND BRIAN, RECENTLY WE SAW THE DEADLY SCHOOL SHOOTING IN GEORGIA THAT WAS FOLLOWED BY A NUMBER OF THREATS WE SAW ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA, ACROSS THE COUNTRY, AND RIGHT HERE IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY LAST WEEK. NOW, SOME OF THOSE THREATS LED TO SCHOOLS BEING CLOSED, POLICE BEING CALLED OUT AND ALSO SOME ARRESTS IN SOME CASES. NOW THIS CAUSES SAFETY CONCERNS, BUT ALSO A LOT OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED. SO A LOT OF VIOLENT SCHOOL THREATS, THEY WERE IDENTIFIED ON VARIOUS SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS AFFECTING SCHOOLS RIGHT HERE IN THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. THESE THREATS LAST WEEK, A PSYCHOLOGIST AT UPMC, DOCTOR MELISSA BROWN, SAYS SOMETIMES THESE ARE COPYCAT ACTS. OTHERS MAY BE PRANKS TO GET OUT OF GOING TO CLASS. OTHER TIMES, THEY COULD BE A SIGN OF SERIOUS MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. THIS TAKES A TOLL ON EVERYONE. SCHOOL STAFF INCLUDED. BUT SHE SAYS ALL THESE THREATS NEED TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. THERE’S A LOT OF ANXIETY, A LOT OF TREPIDATION, A LOT OF FEAR. AGAIN, A LOT OF CONCERNS ABOUT THEIR OWN SAFETY AND AND AND UNFORTUNATELY, THAT DISTRACTS FROM THE LEARNING. AND IT TAKES AWAY FROM THE REASONS THAT STUDENTS ARE ACTUALLY IN SCHOOL. DOCTOR BROWN SAYS SHE DOES SEE AND TREAT MORE YOUNGER PEOPLE THESE DAYS. ONE REASON THE EFFECTS OF SOCIAL MEDIA, WHICH SHE BELIEVES NEEDS A LOT OF MONITORING. BUT SHE ALSO IS CONCERNED, OBVIOUSLY FOR THOSE TEACHERS, THE SCHOOL STAFF THAT HAVE TO DEAL WITH MUCH MORE THAN JUST TEACHING CHILDREN ABOUT LEARNING, ALSO HAVING TO DEAL WITH LOCKING CLASSROOMS AND SECURITY ISSUES. I’M BARBARA BARR, LIVE IN HARRISBURG FOR NEWS EIGHT. TONIGHT WE KNOW TWO MEN WERE ARRESTED IN CONNECTION WITH YESTERDAY’S HOMICIDE INVESTIGATION THAT SHUT DOWN A CHAMBERSBURG NEIGHBORHOOD FOR HOURS. POLICE SAY STEVE THOMAS AND KANE PEST HILAIRE ARE FACING CHARGES FOR SHOOTING AND KILLING 22 YEAR OLD MAN WHOSE BODY WAS FOUND INSIDE AN APARTMENT MONDAY NIGHT. THAT’S ABOUT TWO MILES FROM ASHLEY DRIVE, WHERE RESIDENTS HAD TO SHELTER IN PLACE AS OFFICIALS SEARCH FOR THOSE TWO SUSPECTS. NOW, BOTH MEN ARE FACING CHARGES OF FIRST AND SECOND DEGREE MURDER, BURGLARY AND TAMPERING WITH EVIDENCE. WELL, A TEENAGER HAS BEEN CHARGED IN THE SHOOTING OF A 21 YEAR OLD MAN IN LEBANON COUNTY YESTERDAY. NORTH CORNWALL TOWNSHIP POLICE RESPONDED TO THE AREA OF CENTER AND SOUTH 17TH STREETS JUST BEFORE 730 FOR A REPORT OF SHOTS FIRED LAST NIGHT WHEN POLICE ARRIVED, THEY FOUND THE VICTIM WITH A GUNSHOT WOUND TO HIS UPPER BODY. A 17 YEAR OLD WAS TAKEN INTO CUSTODY AND IS CHARGED WITH AGGRAVATED ASSAULT. AN EARLY MORNING FIRE DAMAGED A ROW HOME IN HARRISBURG. THIS HAPPENED OFF CAMERON STREET, BUT SO FAR, THERE’S NO WORD ON HOW THE FIRE STARTED OR WHAT THE EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE IS. WE ALSO DON’T KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY INJURIES IN THIS FIRE. AND A FORMER CHILD CARE WORKER IN A CUMBERLAND COUNTY MAN WERE IN COURT TODAY ACCUSED OF INVOLVING A CHILD IN SEX ACTS THAT WERE FILMED. NEWS EIGHT’S TOM LEHMAN IS AT THE DISTRICT COURT OFFICES IN MIDDLESEX TOWNSHIP WITH WHAT’S NEXT IN THESE CASES? TOM. YEAH, BRIAN. EARLIER TODAY, BOTH DEFENDANTS WERE IN THE DISTRICT JUDGE’S OFFICE, AND THEY WAIVED THEIR RIGHT TO A PRELIMINARY HEARING, MEANING THEY WILL BE ARRAIGNED IN COUNTY COURT ON A HOST OF CHARGES. ACCORDING TO COURT DOCUMENTS, THE ALLEGED ABUSE HAPPENED MONTHS AGO INSIDE THE MIDDLESEX TOWNSHIP HOME OF JANIE SOUDERS. HE LEFT THE COURTHOUSE TODAY WITH BAIL SET AT $1 MILLION. SOUDERS IS FACING A LONG LIST OF CHARGES, INCLUDING OFFENSES DEALING WITH CHILD RAPE, CHILD PORNOGRAPHY AND OTHER CRIMES. POLICE WROTE IN CHARGING DOCUMENTS SAID NUMEROUS VIDEO CLIPS COLLECTED BY INVESTIGATORS SHOWED SOUDERS ENCOURAGING A YOUNG CHILD TO PERFORM SEX ACTS ON MORGAN DINHOFER. THE RELATION OF THE CHILD TO THE ADULTS WAS NOT DISCLOSED BY INVESTIGATORS. HOEFFER ALSO LEFT THE COURTROOM TODAY WITH BAIL SET FOR HER AT $750,000. SHE IS A FORMER DAYCARE WORKER WITH TEN YEARS CHILD CARE CENTER. THOUGH SHE WAS FIRED LAST WEEK AFTER THE CRIMINAL CHARGES WERE BROUGHT FORWARD, THE DAYCARE SAID THROUGH A LAWYER THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT TOLD THEM THAT THE CHARGES DO NOT RELATE TO ANY CHILDREN WHO WERE AT THE DAYCARE CENTER, AND THE ALLEGED ABUSE HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE ROTHENHAUSLER WAS EVEN EMPLOYED. AN ASSISTANT DISTRICT ATTORNEY TOLD ME ONLY ONE VICTIM AT THIS POINT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED. THE COURT DOCUMENTS SAY THAT SOUDERS HAD CHILD SEX ABUSE MATERIAL IN HIS DIGITAL CLOUD THAT DATED BACK TO 2006. NOW, I ASKED THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY EARLIER TODAY ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT THERE ARE ANY OTHER POTENTIAL VICTIMS THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR AT THIS POINT. HE TOLD ME THAT AGAIN, THERE IS ONLY THE ONE VICTIM THAT’S BEEN IDENTIFIED, BUT THIS IS A CONTINUING INVESTIGATION. AGAIN, BOTH DEFENDANTS ARE DUE BACK IN COURT IN NOVEMBER. IN CUMBERLAND COUNTY, TOM LEHMAN, WGAL NEWS EIGHT. TOM, THANK YOU. A LANCASTER COUNTY CRASH INVESTIGATOR WAS BACK ON THE STAND TODAY IN THE TRIAL OF A FLORIDA MAN CHARGED IN THE DEATHS OF TWO LANCASTER COUNTY SIBLINGS. WGAL NEWS EIGHT’S ANNE SHANNON WAS IN THE COURTROOM FOR THE TESTIMONY AND HAS THE LATEST UPDATE FOR US TONIGHT. TODAY’S TESTIMONY IS FOCUSING ON CRASH RECONSTRUCTION AND THE BIG QUESTION WHETHER THE LIGHT AT THE INTERSECTION OF ROUTE 72 AND GREYSTONE ROAD WAS RED GREEN. PROSECUTORS SAY IT WAS RED. BACK ON MAY 22ND, 2021, WHEN 40 YEAR OLD CESAR TORRES DROVE HIS CAR CARRIER THROUGH THE INTERSECTION. HE’S NOW CHARGED WITH VEHICULAR HOMICIDE AND INVOLUNTARY MANSLAUGHTER AFTER HIS VEHICLE COLLIDED WITH A PICKUP TRUCK BEING DRIVEN BY 21 YEAR OLD BRANDY CASPER. THE PASSENGER, HER BROTHER, 18 YEAR OLD LENNY. THEY WERE BOTH KILLED IN THAT CRASH. NOW ON THE STAND TODAY, THE LANCASTER COUNTY DISTRICT ATTORNEY’S CRASH EXPERT. AND ON CROSS-EXAMINATION, HE ADMITTED THAT INVESTIGATORS FOUND FIVE WITNESSES WHO BELIEVED THE LIGHT WAS GREEN AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH AND FOUR WHO THOUGHT IT WAS RED. JURORS ALSO LISTENED TO A TAPED INTERVIEW THAT POLICE CONDUCTED WITH THE DEFENDANT, CESAR TORRES, AFTER THE CRASH. IN IT, HE SAYS THAT HE IS A CAUTIOUS DRIVER AND HE THOUGHT THE LIGHT WAS GREEN. TESTIMONY CONTINUES IN LANCASTER, ANNE SHANNON. WGAL NEWS EIGHT. A FORMER LANCASTER COUNTY EDUCATOR IS PLEADING GUILTY IN AN ALLEGED CHILD SEXUAL ABUSE CASE. 28 YEAR OLD DAVID GRIFFITH WAS EMPLOYED BY PHOENIX ACADEMY AND VOLUNTEERED AT LAMPETER-STRASBURG SCHOOL DISTRICT AS A MIDDLE SCHOOL MUSIC TEACHER. LANCASTER COUNTY INVESTIGATORS SAY HE RECORDED A 15 YEAR OLD CHANGING WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE, OFFERED A JUVENILE SEX IN EXCHANGE FOR LEAVING CLASS EARLY, AND HAD A SEXUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH A 16 YEAR OLD WHEN HE WAS 22. GRIFFITH ENTERED A NEGOTIATED GUILTY PLEA AND IS NOW FACING MULTIPLE FELONIES AND 14 CHARGES ALTOGETHER, UP TO A YEAR IN CONFINEMENT AND THREE YEARS OF PROBATION. A LITTLE BIT OF RAIN OUT THERE ACROSS THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY TODAY, ALMOST ONE HALF OF THE VALLEY GOT IT, AND THE OTHER HALF, I WAS GOING TO SAY VERY LITTLE FROM WHERE I LIVE. YEAH, I WAS GOING TO SAY HE HIT IT RIGHT ON THE NOSE. I WISH IT WOULD HAVE BEEN MORE WIDESPREAD BECAUSE WE CERTAINLY COULD HAVE USED IT. BUT UNFORTUNATELY, NOT EVERYBODY GOT TO SEE THE RAIN TODAY, AND WE’RE STILL SEEING MOST OF THE LIGHT SHOWERS WEST OF HARRISBURG AND YORK AS THEY CONTINUE TO MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST AND PUSH OFF TO THE NORTHWEST. THEY WILL CONTINUE TO DWINDLE, THOUGH, AS WE HEAD THROUGH THE EVENING HOURS AND AREAS THAT ARE DRY RIGHT NOW WILL STAY DRY FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. AS I ZOOM IN A LITTLE BIT, YOU HAVE BETTER LOOK AT SOME OF THAT SHOWER ACTIVITY ACROSS GETTYSBURG AND ADAMS COUNTY, AND THEN HEADING OVER SOUTH OF CHAMBERSBURG, AND JUST SOME SPOTTY SPRINKLES UP ACROSS PORTIONS OF JUNIATA AND PERRY COUNTY. SO AS WE GO FURTHER INTO THE EVENING, MAYBE AN ISOLATED SHOWER OR SPRINKLE. BUT OTHER THAN THIS, THAT’S ABOUT IT. LOOKING OUTSIDE OUR HERSHEY SKY CAM TRYING TO THE SUN’S TRYING TO BREAK THROUGH THE CLOUD, COVER. HAVE A NICE LITTLE BREEZE THERE. AND SO YOU MAY SEE SOME SUNSHINE HERE IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS. SO NOT A BAD EVENING. TEMPERATURES RIGHT NOW 78, IN HARRISBURG, 78 IN LEBANON, 76 IN ELIZABETHTOWN. WE’VE GOT LOW 70S THOUGH IN NEW FREEDOM AND IN YORK. AND DEW POINTS ARE UP THERE. SO IT IS FEELING A LITTLE STICKY. HERE’S YOUR 12 HOUR FORECAST. WE’RE GOING TO BE DRYING OUT FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. TEMPERATURES FALLING INTO THE 60S BY TOMORROW MORNING. AND I DO EXPECT THE SUN TO COME OUT TOMORROW. I’LL HAVE MORE ON THAT. AND WHAT IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON OUR TEMPERATURES COMING UP. A COMMITMENT 2024 COVERAGE NOW. WOMEN’S REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS ARE A BIG ISSUE ON THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN TRAIL. AND THE HARRIS WALSH TICKET IS TRYING TO GET THE WORD OUT ABOUT THEIR STANCE. REPRODUCTIVE FREEDOM BUS TOUR MADE ITS WAY TO THE STATE CAPITOL TODAY, AND AMONG THOSE ON THAT BUS WERE STATE REPRESENTATIVE PATTY KIM, MASSACHUSETTS GOVERNOR MAURA HEALEY AND 22 YEAR OLD HAILEY DUVALL. SHE’S A KENTUCKY WOMAN WHO SAYS SHE WAS GRATEFUL THAT SHE COULD MAKE THE CHOICE TO HAVE AN ABORTION AFTER HER STEPFATHER RAPED HER. THEY CLAIM THAT FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP WILL IMPOSE FURTHER BANS, WHILE A TRUMP’S PRESS SECRETARY SAYS HE WILL LEAVE DECISIONS TO THE STATES. SURVIVORS DON’T GET TO CHOOSE WHAT STATE THEY’RE VIOLATED IN. WOMEN DON’T GET TO CHOOSE WHAT STATE OF PREGNANCY GOES SOUTH IN ABORTION BANS, WHICH ARE IN PLACE ACROSS TO MANY STATES AROUND THIS COUNTRY, WOMEN RIGHT NOW ARE BEING TURNED AWAY FROM EMERGENCY ROOMS. PRESIDENT TRUMP UNDERSTANDS THIS IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE FOR WOMEN, AND THAT’S WHY HE SAID HE IS NOT GOING TO SIGN A FEDERAL BAN ON ABORTION. THE BUS TOUR IS TRAVELING ACROSS PENNSYLVANIA AND OTHER BATTLEGROUND STATES LEADING UP TO THE ELECTION. MEANWHILE, HARRIS’S RUNNING MATE, MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ, IS MAKING A STOP IN PENNSYLVANIA THIS WEEKEND. HE’S SET TO GIVE REMARKS AT A HARRIS WALZ RALLY IN DOWNTOWN ALLENTOWN ON SATURDAY. NO OTHER DETAILS HAVE BEEN RELEASED, THOUGH AT THIS TIME. ALSO, FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP IS RETURNING TO PENNSYLVANIA SOON. NEXT MONDAY, HE WILL BE HOLDING A RALLY ON THE CAMPUS OF INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. THE FORMER PRESIDENT IS EXPECTED TO SPEAK AROUND. 7:00. BREAKING NEWS FROM THE NBA. THE PHILADELPHIA 70 SIXERS PLANS FOR A NEW ARENA IN THE CITY’S CHINATOWN HAVE OFFICIALLY BEEN APPROVED. MAYOR CHERYL PARKER ANNOUNCED THAT AN AGREEMENT WAS REACHED BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE ORGANIZATION. IT MEANS THE SIXERS WILL BE MOVING OUT OF THE WELLS FARGO CENTER, THEIR HOME FOR THE PAST TWO PLUS DECADES. AND WHILE THE MAYOR DID NOT OUTLINE THE EXACT TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT, PARKER PROMISED THAT IT WOULD BRING HUNDREDS AND HUNDREDS OF JOBS TO CENTER CITY WITH HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN NEW TAX REVENUE. PHILADELPHIA I AM PROUD THIS IS AN HISTORIC AGREEMENT. IT IS THE BEST FINANCIAL DEAL EVER ENTERED INTO BY PHILADELPHIA MAYOR FOR A LOCAL SPORTS ARENA. AND I WHOLEHEARTEDLY BELIEVE IT IS THE RIGHT DEAL FOR THE PEOPLE OF PHILADELPHIA. SHORTLY AFTER PARKER ANNOUNCED THAT AGREEMENT HAD BEEN MADE, THE 70 SIXERS SAID IN A STATEMENT THAT THEY WERE GRATEFUL FOR THE MAYOR’S WORK. BUT THOSE WHO WERE AGAINST THE PLAN SAY THE FIGHT IS FAR FROM OVER. A STATEMENT FROM THE SAVE CHINATOWN COALITION SAYS IN PART, MAYOR PARKER STILL HASN’T MET WITH CHINATOWN AFTER ALL THIS TIME, YET FEELS THAT SHE CAN HAVE A STANCE ON WHETHER OUR COMMUNITY SHOULD LIVE OR DIE. WE’RE GOING TO FIGHT THIS AND WE ARE GOING TO FIGHT, OR WE’RE GOING TO THE MAT. IT’S ON. END QUOTE. THE GOVERNING BODY OF PENNSYLVANIA HIGH SCHOOL SPORTS JUST APPROVED A NEW SPORT GIRLS FLAG FOOTBALL WILL BE AVAILABLE FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS ACROSS THE COMMONWEALTH STARTING THIS SPRING, THANKS TO A UNANIMOUS APPROVAL TODAY FROM THE PI. AA PI AA RULES REQUIRE THAT THERE BE AT LEAST 100 TEAMS THROUGHOUT THE COMMONWEALTH OF PENNSYLVANIA, AND THAT NUMBER WAS REACHED IN APRIL THANKS TO A LITTLE HELP FROM PENNSYLVANIA’S PRO FOOTBALL TEAMS. 65 SCHOOLS ARE PARTICIPATING ON THE EASTERN SIDE OF THE STATE.

BOTH TEAMS WORKED TOGETHER OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS TO GROW THE SPORT RIGHT HERE IN PENNSYLVANIA. COMING UP ON NEWS EIGHT AT FIVE, THE FEDERAL RESERVE’S KEY INTEREST RATE IS COMING DOWN.
