Traffic jam after reported accident in Manor Township, Pennsylvania.

THIS IS COVERAGE YOU CAN TRUST. WGAL NEWS 8 AT 12 STARTS NOW. RESTARTING THE THREE MILE ISLAND REACTOR. JUST RELEASED PLAN TO GENERATE ELECTRICITY FROM THE UNDAMAGED BLOCK 1 REACTOR. EARLY VOTING STARTED TODAY IN THREE STATES. THAT AND THE PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN RETURNING TO PENNSYLVANIA THIS WEEKEND. MORE SCHOOL CLOSINGS TODAY. SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY SCHOOLS RECEIVING THREATS. GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE. I'M BRIAN ROACH, FIVE YEARS TO THE DAY AFTER REACTOR 1 WAS SHUT DOWN ON THREE MILE ISLAND. IT WAS ANNOUNCED THAT THIS REACTOR WILL BE RESTARTED. NEWS EIGHT'S TOM LEHMAN CAME IN LIVE FROM TMI IN LONDONDERRY TOWNSHIP WITH MORE ON THAT. YES, BRIAN. AND TO BE CLEAR, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE REACTOR PLANT THAT WAS SHUT DOWN IN 2019 FOR ECONOMIC REASONS, NOT THE ONE THAT WAS INVOLVED IN THE PARTIAL MELTDOWN HERE IN DAUPHIN COUNTY DECADES AGO. OF COURSE, BUT TODAY THIS IS VERY BIG NEWS, NOT JUST FOR THE HARRISBURG REGION, BUT FOR THE ENTIRE REGION. CONSTELLATION ENERGY ANNOUNCED TODAY THAT IT PLANS TO RESTART THE REACTOR IN 2028. ELECTRICITY WILL BE GENERATED BY THIS NUCLEAR REACTOR PLANT HERE IN DAUPHIN COUNTY. CONSTELLATION ENERGY SAYS THE PLANT WILL CREATE THOUSANDS OF DIRECT AND INDIRECT JOBS. THE COMPANY PLANS TO INVEST $1.6 BILLION IN THE RESTART. WE HAVE A BUYER IN MICROSOFT THAT'S COMMITTED TO BUYING THE ENERGY IN 20 YEARS AFTER IT RESTARTS IN 2028, AND IT'S A BIG DEAL TO HAVE THIS, YOU KNOW, PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN NUCLEAR ENERGY TO PUT 835 MW OF CLEAN ENERGY BACK ONTO THE GRID. THE NEWS WAS WELCOMED BY A NUMBER OF OFFICIALS, INCLUDING GOVERNOR JOSH SHAPIRO AND THOSE AT THE COUNTY LEVEL. HERE COUNTY COMMISSIONER MIKE PRICE TELL ME THIS IS GOING TO HAVE A HUGE IMPACT. BEFORE IT CLOSED IN 2019, THERE WERE HUNDREDS OF FULL-TIME POSITIONS AT THE FACILITY. HE ALSO SAID THAT THERE'S PROBABLY A MILLION DOLLARS IN TAX REVENUE COMING FROM THIS FACILITY, AND THAT'S OBVIOUSLY GOING BACK TO THE COUNTY. NOT JUST AS AID TO THE COUNTY GOVERNMENT, BUT ALSO IN SCHOOL TAXES. BUT OBVIOUSLY THERE'S MIXED REACTION FROM SOME REGARDING BRINGING TMI BACK ONLINE. WE'LL HAVE MORE REACTION LATER TODAY. BUT FOR NOW IN DAUPHIN COUNTY, TOM LEHMAN, WGAL NEWS EIGHT. AND JUST SOUTH OF TMI IN YORK COUNTY, STUDENTS IN THE NORTHEASTERN SCHOOL DISTRICT WERE SENT HOME EARLY TODAY DUE TO A THREAT. THE DISTRICT DECIDED TO CLOSE SCHOOL AFTER STUDENTS WERE ALREADY ON THEIR WAY TO SCHOOL. NEWS EIGHT'S GABRIELLE THOMAS REPORTED LIVE WHAT WE LEARNED ABOUT THIS THREAT. GOOD AFTERNOON, BRIAN. WELL, IT WAS HALF A DAY FOR STUDENTS IN THE NORTHEASTERN SCHOOL DISTRICT. THEY WERE READY TO START THE SCHOOL DAY UNTIL THEY WERE TOLD TO RETURN HOME FOR SAFETY REASONS. NOW POLICE SAY THEY WERE INFORMED THIS MORNING THAT A COMMENT WAS MADE LAST NIGHT ON A POST BY MISHLER SKEETER ON SNAPCHAT DESCRIBING A POSSIBLE THREAT. THE NORTHEASTERN SCHOOL DISTRICT RESPONDED BY CLOSING SCHOOLS ACROSS THE DISTRICT AND POSTING AN UPDATE ON FACEBOOK ASKING PARENTS TO PICK UP STUDENTS AT THE START OF THE SCHOOL DAY. THE DISTRICT SAYS BUSES MAY EVEN TURN AROUND TO TAKE STUDENTS HOME. WE TALKED TO A STUDENT AT NORTHEASTERN HIGH SCHOOL WHO WAS DELIVERING SUBS FOR A FUNDRAISING BEFORE THE EVACUATION. HE SAYS HE ONLY DID ONE DELIVERY BEFORE HE WAS TOLD TO LEAVE THE BUILDING. I KNOW OUR SCHOOL IS DOING AS MUCH AS IT CAN. I'M SO GLAD THEY ARE ABLE TO EVACUATE ALL THE KIDS BEFORE ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN. BUT I'M JUST SHOCKED THAT IT EVEN HAPPENED. PEOPLE JUST HAVE NO RESPECT AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM OF THE WHOLE WORLD. NO RESPECT FOR ANYTHING. AND IT ALL STARTS WITH THE SACREDNESS OF LIFE. AND IT GOES ON FROM THERE. POLICE SAY THIS IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION AND NO CHARGES HAVE BEEN FILED. LIVE COVERAGE HERE FROM MANCHESTER, YORK COUNTY. I'M GABRIELLE THOMAS, WGAL NEWS EIGHT. AT THIS HOUR, POLICE CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THREATS AT A VOCATIONAL SCHOOL. YESTERDAY, STUDENTS AT LANCASTER COUNTY CTC WILLOW STREET WERE EARLY DISCONTINUED AFTER THOSE THREATS. NEWS EIGHT'S JAKE REYES REPORTS HOW THE SCHOOL IS HANDLING THE INVESTIGATION. BEHIND ME YOU CAN SEE THE DOORS TO THE CTC WILLOW STREET CAMPUS, BUT TODAY THEY REMAIN CLOSED. THIS COMES AFTER POLICE INVESTIGATE MORE THREATS AGAINST THE SCHOOL ON SOCIAL MEDIA. YESTERDAY, WILLOW STREET CAMPUS WAS LOCKED DOWN AFTER POLICE ADVISED THERE WAS A SEARCH FOR A THREAT FROM AN ACTIVE SHOOTER. BUSES TOOK THE STUDENTS TO WILLOW STREET MENNONITE CHURCH SOUTH OF LANCASTER CTC WHERE THEY MEET WITH THEIR PARENTS. POLICE SAY THE CALL ABOUT THE SHOOTER CAME FROM A RELATIVE OF A STUDENT WHO SAID THEY LEARNED ABOUT A THREAT THAT HAD BEEN ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR SEVERAL WEEKS. BUT POLICE DID NOT FIND AN ACTIVE SHOOTER AND NO ONE WAS HURT. ONE MOTHER TOLD NEWS EIGHT THIS SHOULD NOT BE A PROBLEM PARENTS HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT. IT'S UNBELIEVABLE THAT SOMETHING LIKE THIS WOULD HAPPEN IN OUR TOWN, IN A TOWN SO CLOSE TO OUR HOME, AND A SMALL TOWN WHERE EVERYONE SHOULD BE PROTECTED AND CARED FOR WHEN THEY'RE IN SCHOOL, AND THEY CAN'T EVEN PROTECT THEIR CHILDREN IN SCHOOL RIGHT NOW. IN A STATEMENT, THE LANCASTER COUNTY CAREER AND TECHNOLOGY CENTER ANNOUNCES THAT IT CLOSED ALL OF ITS CAMPUS YESTERDAY OUT OF AN ADVANCED CAUTION. THE SCHOOL'S WEBSITE SAYS THAT THOSE CAMPUS WILL REMAIN CLOSED TODAY AS POLICE CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE OTHER THREATS FOUND. WE WILL KEEP YOU UPDATE ON ANY NEW THREATS. BUT RIGHT NOW, I'M JAKE RAMIREZ REPORTING FROM LANCASTER COUNTY FOR WGAL NEWS EIGHT. AND, IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY AND THE WEATHER IS NICE, ESPECIALLY AS WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND. METEOROLOGIST RYAN ARGENTI. BEHIND YOU IS BLUE SKY. OH, YES. BLUE SKY AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE ALL THE WAY THROUGHOUT THE SUSQUEHANNA VALLEY. TODAY HAS BEEN A PRETTY CALM DAY SO FAR, AND IT'S GOING TO BE A VERY NICE EVENING, ESPECIALLY BECAUSE IT'S THE SECOND TO LAST DAY OF SUMMER. YOU CAN NOW GET A LIVE VIEW OF HARRISBURG. LIKE WE SAID, BLUE SKY AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE, AND TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE 75 DEGREES RIGHT NOW. SOME OF US ARE ABOVE 75 DEGREES, ESPECIALLY IN CARLISLE. IF YOU TUNE IN FROM CARLISLE IT'S 27 DEGREES, YOU'RE SITTING AROUND THERE AND THE DEW POINT IS NOW IN THE 15 DEGREES. SO SOME OF US ARE FEELING A LITTLE SWEATY RIGHT NOW. BUT AS WE GO ON THE DEW POINTS WILL COME DOWN. AND IT SHOULD BE A PRETTY COMFORTABLE EVENING, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT TO ENJOY THE LAST DAY OF THE SOLANCO FAIR AND ALSO FOOTBALL FRIDAY THAT EVENING. OUR HIGHS WILL GO TO BE UNDER 270 GRAMMES AND OUR LOWS WILL GO TO BE UNDER 150 GRAMMES TONIGHT. NOW THE FULL WEATHER FORECAST IS COMING SOON. AND WHEN YOU CAN EXPECT THE NEXT CHANCE OF RAIN IN THE NEXT WEEK. ENGAGEMENT 2024 EARLY VOTING STARTS NOW IN THREE STATES. MINNESOTA AND VIRGINIA ARE OPEN THEIR VOTING CENTERS. SOUTH DAKOTA IS ALLOWING EARLY VOTING BY MAIL IN LOCAL. ELECTION DAY IS LESS THAN 50 DAYS AWAY. A PENNSYLVANIA SUPREME COURT RULING AGAIN REQUIRES VOTERS TO PRINT THE DATE ON THEIR MAIL-IN BALLOT ENVELOPES OR RISK HAVING THEIR VOTE DISQUALIFIED. THE STATE'S SUPREME COURT YESTERDAY REJECTED A LOWER COURT RULING DECLARING THE DATE REQUIREMENT UNCONSTITUTIONAL. NEWS EIGHT TALKED TO A FORMER DAUPHIN COUNTY ELECTIONS OFFICER WHO SAYS THE DATE ON THE ENVELOPES IS UNNECESSARY. WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF PROBLEMS BECAUSE PEOPLE FORGET TO USE THE PRIVACY ENVELOPE, OR FORGET TO SIGN IT, OR THEY GIVE THEIR DATE OF BIRTH OR THE WRONG DATE. VOTER RIGHTS GROUPS HAVE VOTED TO CONTINUE THE LEGAL FIGHT ON THIS ISSUE, AND REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE COURTS DECIDE, ELECTION OFFICIALS SAY PENNSYLVANIA CAN ENSURE PENNSYLVANIA RESIDENTS CAN ENSURE THEIR VOTES COUNT BY SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE RULES FOR THEIR MAIL-IN VOTE FOR THE NOVEMBER 5 ELECTION. HERE ARE THE DEADLINES YOU NEED TO KNOW. OCTOBER 21ST IS THE LAST DAY TO REGISTER TO VOTE. OCTOBER 29TH. THAT'S THE LAST DAY YOU CAN REQUEST A BALLOT BY MAIL, AND THAT BALLOT MUST BE RECEIVED AT THE POLL OFFICE BY 8 PM ON ELECTION DAY. VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS AND HIS CO-RUNNER, MINNESOTA GOVERNOR TIM WALZ, ARE MAKING A STOP IN PENNSYLVANIA THIS WEEKEND.

HE WILL HOLD A RALLY AT THE ED FRY ARENA. THAT'S AT THE INDIAN INDIANA UNIVERSITY OF PENNSYLVANIA. THAT RALLY IS SCHEDULED TO BEGIN AT 7 P.M.
