Doug shimell, nbc 10 news. Thank you doug. And now the new information about a local Police Officer accused of murder. Police say steven rozniakowski but the suspect hasnt been able to face a judge until today because of his own injuries from that day. Well, now, were learning the injuries could have been much worse. He leaves a jail transport for his first court appearance. Have anything to say . The former Police Officer faces murder and aggravated Assault Charges for an incident that happened last december in a home home. Its been a traumatic event for her in the loss of her mom. Shes the teenager girls father. As far as im concerned, he has no morals no clout, but im not here to pass judgment. Ill leave it in the Justice System to take care of it. Let them deal with it accordingly. In court, his wife began a relationship with him when the murrows were separated. The night of the shooting murrow says he engaged in a gun battle with him. He says he fell after being shot and said, tom, kill me. Murrow was in the other room concerned about his own life. He was out of bullets and knew he had more. When he realized the intruder was reloading, he the only way he could save himself and get help was to jump out of the second story window and run to a neighbors house and call 911. The officer who rode with him in the ambulance to the hospital testified he believed he was dying and asked the officer to take care of his son. He asked for someone to take care of his children. He has children, i have children. How could you do something to another child . Reporter an officer testified he did turn over his call and service weapon. Obviously he didnt turn in every weapon he had access to because the weapon used in this homicide was registered to him. The case was held over for arraignment for next month. His attorneys had no comment on the case. We are following new developments in a pair of hitandrun investigations that are going unsolved. They need more leads to find the person responsible for killing one child and critically injuring another. Theyre still waiting to talk to the driver. Nbc 10s Deanna Durante is joining us live in center city. Youre waiting to speak with the attorney connected to the case . Reporter we are. Weve spoken with him already today. He tells us that his client is cooperating and confirms he did tell police where they could find one of the cars they were looking for. We do have a vehicle. We know for sure we have a vehicle. Its in custody and were doing dna testing of the vehicle. The car police say is this one, a black ford edge and police say its the one seen in the Surveillance Video seconds before 4yearold abdul wilson was struck and killed at 57th and litchfield monday night. An attorney tells me he contacted police and where the car could be found. And his client is cooperating with the investigation. Less than an hour after that hitandrun, another in kensington. 19yearold Josephine Rivera and her 2yearold son were hit by a car. That car is still being hunted by police tonight. Police released video from angles of the car. What we see is a car coming southbound, a white infinity, one man which would be the passenger with his arm hanging out with tattoos, but thats generic because many people have tattoos. But we definitely see two people in the vehicle. See them going south and making a righthand turn to go west on lehigh. Reporter as for the 2yearold little boy, hes listed in Critical Condition at childrens hospital. Reporting live, nbc 10 news. 20 minutes of nonstop news continuing now with this. Drugs meant for dental patients are stolen and replaced with a useless liquid. And thats not all. Take a look at what police say they confiscated from the home of the dentist in chester county. Hes accused of writing illegal prescriptions for his staff and his wife. Nbc 10s cydney long and investigators say the wife alone went through 500 pills a month . Renee, thats right. Were told those pills were hydrocodone, and the da in this case says this woman is lucky she didnt kill herself allegedly mixing those pills with fentinol behind a closed door so her children didnt know what was happening. Now, absolute oral care this medical practice her husbanddentist, it is closed. She also worked here as an anesthesiologist. They say he risked his medical career and also risks jail time. Now, for allegedly writing these illegal and fake prescriptions. Not only for his wife rebecca gretzula but also writing those scripps for office scrappers. And he explained what this all means for patients who relied on this practice. Its very clear she would have been high while she was working. In addition, she was taking the fentinol she was stealing from the practice or getting prescribed to her, and replacing that in the practice with saline solution. If you went into this practice to have what can be very painful mouth surgery, you may just have been injected with saline solutions. So you would have been in incredible pain. Businesses here reported seeing dea agents here raiding the office last week. Were told surrendered his medical license upon his arrest. And the d. A. Says hes actually the one that came forward to talk about a staffer, one of his staffers, he says was stealing the prescriptions and the d. A. Says thats how this case against him unravelled. We also stopped by the couples home in nearby malvern. Much more on this story coming up at 5 00. For now live in berwyn. Weve been telling you about problems at veteran hospitals. Now its official. The official government audit was released today. It reveals widespread mismanagement at philadelphias Veterans Affairs regional office. The v. A. Inspector general report blames misguided policies unreasonable work loads and poor leadership. It led to disability and pension claims at the philly v. A. It does not name anyone specific calling on the v. A. To determine who should be held responsible for it all. Check out sky force 10 over this traffic mess in Gloucester County today. A crane tipped over in Monroe Township around 10 00 this morning. Police tell us the driver hit some mud. And that caused the wheels to sink and the crane to topple. No one was hurt but we just checked about ten minutes ago, and the road is still closed while this mess is cleaned up. Weve seen how controversial red light cameras can be. Now pennsylvania is looking at another way to crack down on drivers. Some want to put cameras in work zones to protect crews working along the highway. Nbc 10s drew smith has details. Reporter approval is all theyre waiting for to deploy a pilot program. They would clock speeders in construction zones and mail citation. The idea is to protect workers like these. Yeah i think theyre in a precarious work, its dangerous but its necessary. So i think the city, the state needs to provide more protection to them. Reporter the House Transportation Committee plans to model the program after marylands. Numbers from aaa showed that state had a decline in speeding since the cameras rolled out in 2009. Many people expect any possible introduction here to be controversial. I dont want to be getting tickets without proof of what i did. Police say it should not be used as a Revenue Source and its the owner of the car who gets the ticket who may not necessarily be the driver. Theyre putting their lives at risk, the workers are. If they could iron that out, i think it would be a good idea. This comes less than a year since the turnpike worker was killed on the job in chester county. Police charged a truck driver in that case last month. In another move to protect workers, the Turnpike Commission plans to dedicate its orange squeeze campaign in his memory. This time state police wont have cameras. Instead, they plan to catch them the oldfashioned way with police cars and radar guns. Its always a good idea to get people who break the law. The chair of the state Transportation Committee tells us he expects a rigorous debate over all of this. He says tickets issued should not be used to raise money. He just wants the cameras to help keep highway workers safe. This isnt supposed to happen especially at the u. S. Capitol in washington. But just a few hours ago, a oneperson helicopter laned on the west lawn. The surprise landing touched off a lockdown. Nbc 10 correspondent stevehand ls lsman joins us live. Reporter Homeland Security officials, police u. S. Capital police understandably upset and swarmed the area when this occurred. Now theyre swarming to figure out kpaktsly how it could happen. Its a gyro coptor. Homemade perhaps. It flew in the direction, from the west side. Witnesses say it flew down the mall fairly low, just clearing the trees and headed right to the u. S. Capitol where one lawmaker says u. S. Capitol police were able to get some gunmen on a balcony prepared to shoot at the pilot if the chopper didnt land before it got to the building but it did. And witnesses say there was one officer there with a handgun drawn immediately arresting the pilot who ill talk about in a second. But warning tourists and others in the area to, quote, run, and they did. Its very disturbing. The house and senate were in session. This could have been at the white house, could have been a terrorist attack. But apparently instead, it was a political protest. Police have not revealed the name of the man theyve put under arrest. But a 60yearold florida postal worker by the name of doug hughes put up an elaborate website taking credit in advance for flying his gyrocopter here to washington, d. C. In washington, d. C. Not from florida, but in the washington area. Writing on his website, i have no violent inclinations or intent, im just delivering the mail, he said. Landing, violating the no fly zone washingtons notorious and wellknown no fly zone he said nonviolently with 535 letters strapped to the landing gear in boxes addressed to every member of congress. Hughes is apparently upset that what he calls political corruption has become the characteristic of american politics and election campaigning. He says he wants to wake up millions of people to change that. And he said he didnt believe the government would shoot down a 60yearold mailman in a flying bicycle. But he said hed rather do this and take the risk than live renee, to be 80 he said and see this country fall. Now theyll investigate hughes but perhaps more importantly, renee, of course theyre going to investigate how anybody for any reason could fly a small helicopter right to the u. S. Capitol. Thats a big deal. Back to you. Thank you from washington. To this now from nfl hero to living behind bars for the rest of his life. Aaron hernandez was found guilty today of killing a friend. The story. He was once one of the nfls brightest stars. Now former new England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez is a convicted murderer. Guilty of murder in the first degree. The jurys decision came on the seventh day of distributions after a nineweek trial in the testimony of more than 130 witnesses jurors finding hernandez killed his friend in 2013 and left his body in a vacant lot not far from his home. As the jury deliberated the verdict, hernandez shook his head and fell into a chair. His fiancee who testified earlier in the trial wept so did members of lloyds family. In her victim pact statement, lloyds mother offered her sons killer forgiveness. Though, she didnt mention hernandez by name. My baby is in my heart forever. Despite having no murder weapon, no witnesses to the shooting and offering no clear motive prosecutors were able to tie hernandez to the crime scene through cell phone records and Surveillance Videos. The fact he was a professional athlete meant nothing in the end. He is a citizen who was held accountable by the jury for his depraved conduct. Jurors said hernandez star status meant nothing during deliberations. We followed the courts orders. Assumed that the man sitting in that seat is innocent until the prosecution proves hes guilty. And thats what happened today. The 25yearold taken away in handcuffs and shackles moments after the decision was read. It ensures hernandez will die in prison pending an appeal. And hernandez has another legal battle ahead. Hes charged in the 2012 drive by shooting deaths of two men after a clash at a nightclub in boston. Hes pleaded not guilty in that case. Two years ago today, a terror attack at the Boston Marathon changed the lives of countless people. Surf isvivors and rescuers come together to mark the second anniversary of the bombing. Helped unveil banners at the site of the blast. Two bombings killed three people and wounded more than 260 others. The city held a moment of silence at 2 49 this afternoon to mark the moment the first bomb exploded. Last week a jury convicted tsarnaev for carrying out the bombings. His older brother died in a shootout with police days after the attack. To a call for justice now. This morning, dozens of demonstrators gathered in northeast philadelphia to protest police brutality. All part of a 250mile march to justice between Staten Island, new york and washington, d. C. Jacqueline london is joining us in the studio with more on the story. Jacqueline, these marchers were joined by a special guest today . They were, renee. She talked about her sons death. But he is just one of many deaths they are protesting. This little light of mine protesters formed a prayer circle before rallying together. The march to justice began monday in Staten Island where eric garner died during a confrontation last summer. Today, brandon tate browns mother and friends join the group. Tate brown was shot and killed in december. Philadelphia police pulled him over in mayfair. They say he was reaching for a gun at the time. Organizers say they want to raise awareness about policeinvolved shootings. Its not just happening in new york. Its not just happening in philadelphia. Its happening in ferguson its happening in objectionxnard, california. Happened in south carolina. We want to make sure that people are aware its not just an isolated incident. The group is using social media to get the word out. They made a stop in trenton last night and had another rally in philadelphia this afternoon. Next they will head to Lincoln University followed by baltimore. They end their march in washington, d. C. Where they will hold a large rally and concert on the National Mall next tuesday. And they plan to deliver a justice package to members of Congress Demanding congressional intervention to confront police violence. Jacqueline london, nbc 10 news. Thank you, jacqueline. Now to sky force 10 over a smokey fire in bucks county. There was a brush fire that spread the fire. The thick smoke can be seen across the river in new jersey. All right. Now lets go to brittany. And we understand theres a fire danger up for tonight . Thats right. Theres a red flag warning thats going to stay in effect until 7 00 p. M. Thats one of our top headlines is the fire danger for parts of our area. The good news is at least were going to stay mild with our temperatures, but i am tracking a return of rain as we head into the end of your workweek. Going back to the red flag warning. All of the areas highlighted in red under the red flag warning at least until 7 00 p. M. And were dealing with dry conditions and breezy conditions. And that is a bad combination when it comes to fire danger. So, any brush fires that start like the one we already have burning right now in buckingham can continue to grow with those dry conditions and also with the wind speeds gusting over 15 Miles Per Hour for some areas, but the good news is were only seeing the wind speeds moving closer to 9 Miles Per Hour. Were dealing with the northerly winds, the dry air coming into our area. And for most of the region were seeing breezy to light wind speeds. Thats good. Wind speeds sustained at 10 Miles Per Hour in Atlantic City up to about 13 in the poconos. Temperature wise, were at 68 degrees. 68 in quakertown temperatures in the pottstown at 69. 70 degrees in philadelphia. Nice and mild. Temperatures in northeast philly at 70. Same thing in trenton, 69. And right along the shore here, much cooler. 56 degrees in avalon 65 in dover. And 64 in delaware city. As we head into the rest of tonight, we are going to see a comfortable evening out, dealing with just a few high thin clouds. And as we push into tomorrow well see a mix of sun and clouds. The future weather as we push into thursday is going to be another nice day. But we have changes on the way especially as we head into friday morning. So early in the morning as youre heading to work, notice a few sprinkles on the windshield. Friday at 10 00 a. M. Well see a moderate rainfall coming down in places like allentown, and also in the poconos. Youll notice by 7 00 p. M. As youre heading out for friday night plans, were starting to deal with a few light showers. Your friday night plans should be on the safe side. And once you get rid of those scattered showers, well see mostly cloudy skies on saturday but even warmer weather. We are going to stay mild. Our average for this time of year, in the low to mid60s. Tomorrow well be at 67 degrees, same thing as we head into friday. And then well actually warm up even more than that as we push into saturday. So the weekend right now looks pretty good. Heading into the rest of tonight. Mostly clear and cold. Temperatures drop down to 46 degrees for philadelphia. 38 for suburbs to the north and west. And as we push into tomorrow mostly sunny and nice. Our temperatures ranging again between 65 and 68. So similar to what we saw today. 7day forecast shows those warmer conditions are here to stay. If you take a look at saturday, 73 degrees. Sunday, 65 and as we push into next week, we track another chance of rain by monday. As this weather improves this question is boating too dangerous on parts of the jersey shore . Where boaters are raising the alarm . And why some are taking their business elsewhere. Plus its a bridge that goes over the busy Passenger Railway. But its supported by wooden planks. Coming up the nbc 10 investigators go on the hunt to find out why. Plus a sweet smell coming to south jersey. Where one company will soon be baking its famous cheesecake. Boy, those look good. Yeah. All next on nbc 10 news at 4 00. Sometimes, caring for your neighbors means going the extra mile. When our patient, susan, mentioned her dad couldnt make it in to Pearle Vision to get his eyes checked. We went to him. And we realized, if he had trouble getting new glasses. He probably wasnt the only one. To us, eye care is about living dr. Pearles legacy. Building a trusting relationship with the person behind the eyes. This is genuine eye care right in your neighborhood. This is Pearle Vision. Sweet news for south jersey. Very sweet. A famous new york city cheesecake maker is setting up shop in burlington county. Juniors announced its moving from new york to a larger facility in burlington new jersey. Company expects the move to be completed by july. The new headquarters will replace a smaller building in queens, new york. That building has housed juniors baking operation for the last 15 years. Can we just watch this video for a little while . No. Im getting hungry. Juniors has four restaurants, by the way, along with wholesale and mail order businesses. The phillies are out of town until next tuesday. But a winery wants fans to toast the team while theyre away. Cheesecake and wine. Perfect. Getting set for phillys wine weekend. Produced thousands of bottles for the event. As well as Autographed Items and a batting cage on hand. Of course, a chance to taste the new phillys line created by the winery. Believe it or not it would pair well with all of the foods at ashburn alley. Cheesesteaks, and i think, i think we hit a home run on this one. Phillies wine and we want the phillies to win. But phillies wine for the first time at Citizens Bank park this season. I cant wait. Next on nbc 10 news at 4 00 we drive over bridges every day, but have you ever looked at whats under them . Well one man did. And didnt like what he saw. I noticed that decaying structure up there with the board stacked underneath. Thought, thats pretty crazy. This bridge in delaware countys been supported by wood planks. Next the investigators ask pennsylvania officials if this is safe and when it will be fixed. Then coming up tonight on nbc 10 news at 5 00 new Jersey Transit riders get ready to pay more for the train or bus ride. We have new information about a possible fair hike and when you might notice it. New at 4 30 a pennsylvania bridge over the busiest Passenger Railway in the United States is being supported by wood planks. Millions of passengers travel under it every year. And some of those concerned commuters contacted the nbc 10 investigators to get answers. Nbc 10 took their questions straight to penndot. Every day, thousands of amtrak and passengers go under that bridge. Its more than 450 structurally deficient bridges in the philadelphia area. You may not notice it as you approach the end of state road 452 and marcus hook but under the Market Street bridge, expose exposed steel, crumbling concrete and this stacks of wood pinched beneath the edges. I noticed the decaying structure with the boards stacked underneath and thought thats crazy. Eric schaefer retired to follow his passion for photography. He noticed what was hiding in the corner of the frame. Youve got steel and cement holding up trucks and cars that drive across here every day and you put boards under it . Beneath the bridge passengers have time to get a good look from the marcus hook station. But those on amtrak likely never know whats above them. Is that bridge safe . The bridge is safe. It needs a lot of repair. And in fact it needs replacement. Charles davies is the chief engineer in the philadelphia region. Are those planks load bearing . No, theyre not. So theyre not holding up . No theyre wedged in. And they could be load bearing. Just in case again, we have a failure. The nbc 10 investigators found penndot classifies the Market Street bridge as a priority one repair. Meaning it should be repaired within six months. The most recent inspection from august 2014 says the bridges Structural Condition is poor while its deck is serious. The report lists 12 maintenance recommendations. It confirms the necessity of replacing this bridge as soon as possible. In a statement to the nbc 10 investigators, amtrak says it is aware of the condition of the Market Street bridge and makes periodic visual inspections to ensure the safety of trains passing underneath. Eric schaefers visual inspection was captured by his camera. What do you think about the safety of this bridge . Doesnt look like it has long for me. Penndot says the bridge is safely inspected. Once a year and inspect the planks every three months. Penndot says there are plans to replace the bridge this year but did not have a specific date for when work will start. For the investigators, im mitch blocker, nbc 10 news. People rallied for a 15 minimum wage in philadelphia and cities across the country. Nbc 10 at the mcdonalds at broad and allegheny in north philadelphia this morning where workers walked off the job and then joined student protesters outside. And were going to take a live look right now at another rally happening right now near the Market Street bridge in center city. There you see people walking, carrying signs, tax day has not only sparked minimum wage rallies, but also protests by conservatives in congress who say the super rich are taxed too much. Nbcs steve handlesman explains. About 35 million americans are filing on this deadline day says irs. Many by mail, most online. But 43 of americans owe no federal income tax. Many who work in minimum wage jobs. Like christine weaver who has to bum a ride in every day. Well i dont currently have a car. Its a little under 5 miles to get to work. Rallies demanded a National Minimum wage of 15, up from 7. 25. This was new york at mcdonalds. Thats hiking its minimum to 10. And in raleigh, today, some of these workers get government assistance welfare, so do some at a rally near the white house. And in they got a fair wage they would be able to contribute as opposed to taking. President obama could not get a 10 minimum wage passed. Weve got a whole bunch of members of congress who dont get it when it comes to raising wages. Republicans were arguing today that the richest americans need help. Theyd end the estate tax for families whose net worth averages 11 million, calling it a death tax. This is morally wrong, mr. Speaker, that the federal government taxes people on their death. A liberal mocked republican priorities. Not to feed the hungry not to make College Affordable to create jobs but to give a tax break to billionaires. Taxes and income big issues on april 15th. But the nation is in different brackets about what to change. Both issues look certain to be factors in the 2016 election. Im steve handelsman, nbc news, washington. Giant and martins food stores announced theyre raising their minimum pay for parttime workers, theyll make 9 an hour beginning in june. That move expected to impact about 10,000 parttime employees.

Philadelphia honoring an American Hero today along with the rest of the country, thats for sure. Its Jackie Robinson day. This celebration at the Philadelphia Park its one of many that were held throughout the u. S. Today. Somebody who was able to persevere beyond human strength not to play a game but also to break a barrier in the game. How do you apply that today . How do you open doors that are closed . How do you then overcome obstacles . I think Jackie Robinsons life shares that with everyone. All Major League Players and coaches will wear number 42 jerseys today to honor robinson a pioneer who not only changed baseball history but american history, as well. Robinson debut at the brooklyn dodgers on april 15th 1947. He was the first africanamerican to play in the major leagues. He went on to win nine mvp awards and a world series title.

This is what you might refer to as a really close encounter. Deadly storms youll recall rip through the region that day. But this driver was one of the fortunate ones who managed to avoid a direct hit from a swirling tornado. Right there. Too close for comfort, as far as im concerned. Pet owners in the midwest are on high alert after a deadly dog flu outbreak. Now its believed to be the first time this highly contagious flu strain has been seen in the u. S. It first showed up in illinois weeks ago. And in the chicago area more than 1,100 dogs have become sick and six of them have died. Well, now there are suspected cases in wisconsin, indiana and ohio. Svete veterinarians are concerned. Chicago has never seen anything like this before. The numbers and the severity of the disease has far outweighed anything weve seen. Symptoms of canine flu include coughing sneezing loss of appetite. Humans cannot contract the flu from a dog. But it can spread from animal to animal. If you notice any symptoms youre asked to call your vet. Want to take another live look at a rally and march near the Market Street bridge in center city. This is part of the fight for 15 movement.

We track another chance of showers as we head into friday and once again, as we push into monday vp we stay mild for the next seven days. Not a bad forecast. Not too bad. Voters on the jersey shore, theyre raising concerns. They say one area has become too dangerous. What boaters think is to blame and the changes they want to see. Yeah, im married. Does it matter . Youd do that for me . Really . Yeah, id like that. Who are you talking to . Uh, its jake from state farm. Sounds like a really good deal. Jake from state farm at three in the morning. Who is this .

Get to a better state. There are growing concerns about a jersey shore waterway. It has a lot of boaters running into trouble. And businesses that depend on boat traffic say many of their customers are choosing to steer elsewhere. Nbc 10 Jersey Shore Bureau reporter hit the water to find out why. As a tow Boat Operator rick ellenburg says calls for help from Little Egg Inlet come in constantly. People in trouble in all the time. The reason boaters running aground on the massive amount of sand clogging up the waterway between Long Beach Island and brigantine. When the wind is flowing and everything is just right its harsh out there. He operating a fishing boat and says so much Shallow Water is hurting him and other local business owners. Some days we cant get out. We have to come back to the dock. Its not safe to pass through. Boaters are afraid to go out and taking their boats and going elsewhere. We end up with a lot of bottom slips that are empty. Some believe it washed from beaches replenished after hurricane sandy. The u. S. Army corps of engineers disputes that claim and has no plans to dredge the inlet anytime soon. We need this to happen this year. Little egg is not an authorized federal channel that the army corps of engineers maintains. But the agency insists there was already a lot of sand here before previous beach replenishment projects.
