barricade situation and reportedly involving hostages cross state lines in new jersey? yeah. yeah. i mean to say the least, this has been a terrifying morning in and around this area. bucks county and now into new jersey. and it's still, as you said, very much ongoing, three people dead at this point. and as you said, reports, now that not only is the suspect barricaded, but also potentially holding hostages, but let me tell you a little bit about how this all started. this started just before 09:00 a.m. that's according to the false township police department. they initially got a call of a shooting in levittown, pennsylvania, again, about 30 miles north of philadelphia police then said that 26 year-old andriy gordon shot and killed two people. then he went to a separate address in leavitt down pennsylvania and shot and killed a third person then he went to $1 general in morris fill, pennsylvania. that's right on the border of pennsylvania and new jersey carjack someone at $1 general, then drove over the line to trenton. now, like you said, police said that gordon knew all of the victims that he shot and killed, not the person that he car jacked just on the border of pennsylvania new jersey. and police also said that they believe he used an assault rifle in these shootings. now, according to jeff dense, that's the chairman of the false township board of supervisors. he is the one who gave us the information that this suspect is now barricaded in a building in trenton, new jersey with potential hostages. the one good news though at this moment is that that shelter in place, that was in place for hours and false township in that pennsylvania community that has been lifted again, according to mr. dense, but it's still tense and you can tell that police are going to be untangling exactly what led up to this moment. and of course, the ongoing situation in trenton as we speak. >> now, earlier, it was reported that the suspect, andriy gordon was familiar with the trenton, new jersey area, perhaps even that was a place of residence at one time. do we know anything about these reported hostages, people that he knows? is this a familiar location to him or or is this happen stance that there had been a few different things to police have said so far in the broadest sense, yes, he is familiar with the trenton, new jersey area that's according to police but in terms of who may be with him in this barricade situation, we really don't have much more information, but i will say at one point of false township, police said that he is known to have been homeless at times as well so it's unclear exactly what the ties are to trenton, but again, as you've been watching on television, the chopper's are over watching this increasing police presence in this area of trenton. it's certainly an active scene right now. >> do we know anything more about the starting point? >> what what transpired at these first two locations that would lead to the deaths of three people >> that's a good question. and frankly, i think that's going to be exactly what police are investigating. again, it was just before 09:00 a.m. and the initial phone call to police was for a shooting officers responded and they found very quickly to deceased people at that home. we still don't know the genders. we still know the specific relationship. but they also realized that at that point this is police that gordon, their suspect had already been driving a stolen vehicle. that was how they were able to trace two the second block in levittown are the same community where there was that second shooting and a third person was killed and that was where this all began. again, police say that the suspect andriy gordon, new all three of the victims that he shot and killed so but again, i think the question is to what the relationship was. that is something i'm still learning. one thing i'll note fred is this area has had a tough couple of months. there was a story that i covered up there of a beheading in that general area. this is a sleepy, pretty calm suburban community. just i can't imagine the fear that especially during that shelter, sesame place is nearby, they had to shut their doors of that parade that you were speaking about, a sick for same patrick's day also had to stop very unsettling for this area. people have been through a lot. >> all right. danny freeman, thanks so much. come back when you hear more. i appreciate it. all right >> and now to a scenes of devastation in ohio and indiana after severe storms and tornadoes hit multiple communities, killing at least three people, one local official says, it looked looks like a bomb went off and now a massive cleanup and recovery operation is underway. cnn's ivan rodriguez is there in the hard-hit community of lakeview, ohio. ivan, tell us more about what you're seeing oh, for a drink after that powerful ef, three tornado came through lake you here in logan county, ohio >> as you mentioned, a lot of cleanup efforts are now underway in the background and we can hear chainsaws crews have really been added all day long, trying to clean up some of the debris that you can see behind me now this is just a glimpse. fredreka of all the damage that we're seeing across lake view. and you can really see just debris scattered everywhere feet away from me is a roof that belong to the home right behind me. a car. here, this honda see rv has been smashed in with its windows blown out and this this object here, you can't really make out what it is very well, but the person who lives in his home told us that it's actually a dog house that flew out from a next door neighbor that's now on their property. so that cleanup process is ongoing, but moments ago we were able to step into the home here of mary and joe baker. they told me that they were we're in their living room when they heard the tornado sirens go off. as soon as a siren started going off and started heading toward your bedroom? >> yes >> okay. yes >> living room? >> this >> is the dining room >> at that point. they continue walking through the living room. she leads me into their main bedroom and she shows me exactly in the home where they hid. they both she says she hurt her husband went into the closet of the home they got their animals, their paths, and just sheltered in place. she said they were there for about 15 minutes, but it felt like an eternity. i asked her as well, fredreka, do you remember the last conversation that you had when you got into that closet and she told me she just grabbed her husband's hand. she prayed and she asked the lord, she said to just keep them safe, keep them sheltered, as well as the other people here and lakeview as well. and if you could see inside from where we're standing, this is the room that we're talking about here. you can see a beam of would smash through the side of the wall. this roofs completely caved in. so really their home has been severely damaged, but they're very grateful to still have ciao other and also the fact that the community has really been a coming together through all of this pain, all of this destruction is gonna be a long road to rebuilding. we heard the governor of ohio mentioned how the community is going to bounce back a lot of that he mentioned has to do with the strength of the community here. i also spoke with a contractor who's working for free to make sure that a lot of these roofs are waterproof. so it's just one example of how the community is really coming together after such a painful experience, right? >> are lots of concerns but a real close call for that family and other counting their blessings i then rodriguez. thank you so much >> all right. a man and his children were trapped in a walmart during this devastating a tornado that hit indiana, jacob hudson says, people continued to shop until a walmart employee rushed everyone towards the produce section. he hid with his family in a restroom until the tornado pass and jacob hudson is here to tell us all about it. my goodness, jacob, i mean, what a moment you go shopping and then the next thing you know, you all are taking shelter. so did you know the storm was coming what >> happened while you were in that walmart? >> yeah. well, we had no idea the storm is gonna be anything like that. actually, we live about ten minutes away. and when we left our home, it was actually sani a nice our kids playing outside and everything. and we got there, we got to walmart maybe around 730 by the time we got to winchester, the sky definitely turned and it was, you can see storm's coming in, but we were just shopping like normal and suddenly everybody's phones in the store went off. and that was the tornado warning. and we were almost done, so we were actually going to just try to get home and then employee said, hey, you guys need to go to the produce area, storm's coming in. we just take shelter for now. some people say in the produce area, some stayed in office and he put us in a family restroom and we were in there maybe 1015 minutes. nothing nothing was happening. we open the door, try to get some mayor and just hear what was going on. and then suddenly a worker, rashi said it's hitting right now and came in and dovere with us. we here have been shut the door and within seconds so you could just hear when going crazy and things banging around outside. and so what are the oldest of your kids and while you're in this space and taking cover, >> are you holding your kids or you hovering around them? describe for me what you instinctively did yes, that's that's basically what we did. we hunkered in the corner of the restroom and even the worker we've wrapped our arms just all together. and i was on the phone. my daughter, who was at home i was worried about her two and we just set a hail mary and my kids are screaming, crying, were just hunched down. no idea what's going on around us. >> oh my baby. >> 30 seconds and then everything just got very quiet and the open the door and there was that's where you could just see debris in front of us like, oh, my goodness. >> so when it got really quiet, what were you and all the other shoppers, employees that were in that space? thinking, did you whisper anything to one another? was it a matter of is it over do we do we go out just take me to that moment. >> yeah, that's we actually the five of us in that restroom. we waited just to make sure everything was fine. we wait for it to be quite a moment. and it was more just okay. it's over. that's what we told the kids. see, we're fine. it's okay. it's fine. we made it. it's okay are they crying >> yes, they were crying, screaming. i mean, it's it's something you don't want to see as a father, they were you can see you to see the fear in their eyes and as a father, you don't want that and there's nothing you can do to change that. >> a very, very scary moment. >> and then your impressions once the door opener, once you all emerged from the safe space where you are >> i was just kinda shocked like at first, i just seem like trash and debris in front of us and then i looked around the corner and i seen the doors of the warmer actually pushed in and some workers quickly move that door. and after everything is seen to be calm outside, i took a look outside and there it was a sheet metal plywood damaged cars, and the foreign to the parking like she had a car was kind of turnover i mean, it was it was chaos. i mean, this was littered everywhere. >> and your daughter at home, how did she fair and everything >> she was clearly fine. like i said, ten minutes away, luckily, nothing happened here. she was she was in the bath two or a bathtub with a blanket over her. i was trying to comfort her i was literally more worried about her. >> yeah. warning first went off because like i said, this took time until it hit in i'm worried of her and then it ends up hitting us at the store. >> oh my goodness. well, she did all the right things as did you and all the employees and other shoppers who were with you at that walmart? we're so glad you're able to tell the story of here survival story. jacob hudson. thank you so much. >> thank you >> all right. we're also seeing severe weather and there remained concerns all along parts of the gulf coast were 40 million people are under threat from powerful storm. cnn's elisa raffa is here with me now. okay, so this this is a crazy system and it only seems to continue. >> it's the same one that dumped all of those tornadoes up in ohio and indiana that damaged that. we were just looking at continues to work its way south and east. i mean, look at all of the damage left behind, all of the storm reports were talking hundreds of reports of hail, damaging winds. they 20 information just keep coming in as we go through the next couple of days. and i want to point out that march tornadoes do happen. we just expect them more in the deep south now where they were in the upper midwest, here is a look at radar right now. you can see we've got lots that's of lightning. >> storms >> start to fire up across texas. that's the area that's under the bulls-eye today. you could see that yellow slight risk for large hail damaging winds and a few more tornadoes also possible again today, but they're threatened really zeroes in on hail in parts of texas today, we're talking hail up to two inches in diameter and you might be thinking, well, what does that look like? we're talking about hail to the size of baseballs. baseball size hail as we go through the day that can honestly, really cause injury to people, it could come crashing through windows. and if that hit you and hit you in the wrong spot, can really cause some injury. so you want to keep that in mind? fine again, if you're in texas, if you've got a place to put your car inside of a garage, you'll want to do that as you go through the day today for that hail up to the size of baseballs. this could also come with some flooding rain. we're talking about rain, two inches per hour possible. so could commit some heavy rain, but thanks fully, fred, the tornado threat is less than it was the other day. but again, we're still keeping an eye offer extremely long jail. >> i mean, baseball size hail. that's tremendous. i mean, it's it's enshrining enough when it's being wrong size so that's a lot. all right. thank you so much, lisa. appreciate it. thank you >> all right. so the km the state department is working to evacuate

vegas, the story of sin city tomorrow at ten on cnn hi, welcome back. we continue >> with our breaking news. a suspect in a triple homicide in a philadelphia suburb has barricaded himself with hostages in trenton, new jersey. this after three people were shot to death, in what officials are calling a domestic-related incident, the suspect is identified as 26 year-old andriy the gordon he has considered armed and dangerous, and we are expecting a press conference with police shortly. meantime, cnn's danny freeman has been talking to his sources. what's the latest? yeah. so we have a few more details about what unfolded after the shootings happened that got us to this point. and a few more conformations, unfortunately, that police do believe at this point there are, in fact hostages inside of that trent and residents. so what we told you before is that initially all of this started just before 09:00 a.m. this morning. first, there were two people shot and levittown, pennsylvania, then the suspect allegedly, mr. gordon here, went to a second residence and shot and killed a third person. well, now we know that at around 11, 30 just after that police were able to find the car that mr. gordon is alleged to have car jacked driven into new jersey, into trenton and that's where they are nearby, i should say is where they found him inside of this resonance right now. and now, this is according to false township police. they do believe that gordon is currently barricaded with hostages inside of a residence in trenton, new jersey. and i just want to say that because earlier we had just heard that from a politician in the area local official. now police are confirming that to us at 12:25. the good news that i shared earlier, the shelter in place for that pennsylvania community was lifted, but it's because police are now dealing with this very serious barricade and hostage situation in trenton, new jersey. the other thing i'll say fred is that you're correct at 02:00 p.m. we learned there will be a press conference or there should be a press conference explaining what has been going on, what hopefully lead up to this situation and just more information about the suspect. do we know anything about this >> trenton, new jersey location where he's allegedly barricaded along with hostages. is that a residence? place of business. what do we know about the community or the location where this has happened? >> so as far as i understand, this is a bit of a residential area within trenton transmits a city though. so there are businesses. it seems nearby. but as far as the i'm going to read you exactly the information behalf from police what the false township police told us is that it's believed gordon, like i said, knew all the victims they shot earlier in the de and that he's believed to be currently homeless and has ties to the trenton, new jersey area. so that could of course mean a lot of things as you know, but that's how police are framing it right now. it doesn't seem like this is a location where he currently lives but it may be a place that he has lived before, has some sort of ties to. but again, like i said, well, police believe that he knew the people that he shot and killed earlier today, allegedly. we don't have any information about these hostages that police believe are inside this residence, right? now. okay. >> when you learn more comeback, thanks so much. danny freeman. >> all right. much more on this breaking news right after this what happens to the golden boy of new jersey? i >> engaged in

our breaking news. we're watching a situation that began as a reported fatal shooting outside of philadelphia, then turned into a manhunt. a then led to a reported car jacking, then taking the investigation across the state lines into new jersey. and now the focus is on trenton, new jersey, where it's believed the suspect in the fatal shootings may also be now barricaded inside. what could be a residence here. this is the view that we're seeing, thanks to our affiliates or affiliate live shot, they're outside of trenton, new jersey, which could be a barricading situation involving the suspect who is also according to police, claiming to hold hostages. cnn's danny freeman is with me now he's been with us all afternoon long as we've been watching this various developments dana, let's talk about what we believe we've been able to see this obvious police activity concentrated on this what appears to be a residence there in trent, new jersey. you see the ladder now going up. we were able to see some of these images earlier as it was happening. you bring us up to date. >> now on based on the information that is being corroborated with investigators. sure. absolutely. and i should say i believe those images incredibly from wrong those were not live correct. those were my right now to go moments ago. right. we watched it kind of law as it was happening, but we're bringing to our viewers the tape version because we also don't want to compromise the ongoing investigation right >> exactly. just illustrate the viewers that this is happening right now as we speak and we don't want to, like you said, give away any position that officers might be. so let's describe what we're seeing right here. so all of this started early this morning, like i said, just before 09:00 a.m. started with two shooting locations three people shot and killed, than a car jacking, as you said, and then it took us over to new jersey, trenton, which is where you are looking or what we've been seeing on our screens right now. and you could see it. it's a very i would say, typical residential area inside of trent and you see there a row home-style homes with also a duplexes. and what we've been watching fred to share with viewers is basically law enforcement officers decked out in tactical gear approach. this one particular home at one point, even staging on what looked like the roof of the home and trying to what it looked like was free hostages from that particular house. now, we had heard earlier in this afternoon from a township supervisor that they feared the suspect that we've been talking about, andriy gordon, 26 year-old, was inside of that home, barricaded with hostages. well, the false township police department they then confirmed to cnn as well, they believe that they're hostages in there. and now we've been seeing excuse me again, these images of police dressed in that tactical year approaching that home. and at one point, it seemed carefully taking someone out of that home that did not seem to be after citing the latter, which would take them to the second hint floor of what appeared to be that residence. right. watched as they then penetrated a window, you very much so. >> and >> then very shortly after we saw them escorting a person out, but unclear who that person is, what the demeanor was, but what i'll say you know, obviously, you know we have chuck ramsey and others who are law enforcement experts who've seen this number times. but as reporters, we've seen this end, the person that they were taking out of that top story window, they were not handcuffing them. they were not treating them. what you would imagine if there was someone suspected of committing a triple homicide, they were not treating him that way. they were treating him as though he potentially was a hostage and potentially a victim in this whole incident. >> and now authorities have not indicated how many hostages were using the word plural. but do we know with specificity how many there may be? >> no, but that is their word. they the law enforcement have been referring to them as hostages, plural but again, i don't i think it's safe to ask the question if authorities are 100% sure how many people may or may not be in that home. and i'll note that the suspect, andrea gordon, he suspected to have i've been homeless, so it's also not 100% clear why he went to this specific home after he allegedly fled from these homicides in pennsylvania, except to say that authorities did acknowledge that he had some familiarity with trenton, new jersey. we don't know whether he was once a resident there whether he has family or friends there, but for some reason, there is. it's a comfort area potentially. and maybe this was intentional for him to leave the false township and make his way to trent, new jersey? yes. they knew to look there. it seemed when they realized that this car that had been carjack to buy again, allegedly, mr. gordon, it seemed they knew to look at trenton and then ultimately that is where they found the car. they were looking for a honda crb and they put that alert out for their own officers a little early in the morning after they learned of that car jacking and then around 11, 30, they were able to find it in this general area. and that's where we've been seeing this scene unfold with this massive police presence in trenton. again, presumably trying to rescue some hostages and look where we're trying to be careful with the responsibility of the access we have to those live images because it is an ongoing investigation. if indeed there are a number of people who are being held against their will, and if there is television in that residents, we certainly don't want to give the alleged gunman the advantage by seeing play by play exactly what law enforcement is doing. so that's why we are showing this on delay the access that they had to this house and escorting one person out by a window. but we can only share what authorities are allowing us to share in terms of information as well. >> and again, fred, i should say that hopefully we should have a little bit more clarity as to what led up to this moment what has happened in the intermediary and how many hostages police may believe are inside of that home. because we're expecting a press conference set the top of the hour, 02:00 from a number of different law enforcement agencies. because as you can tell, this has been a now multi-state effort by law enforcement and certainly a multi township effort as well. okay. i mean, this has been an incredible day for law enforcement for various jurisdictions, beginning with the falls township outside of outside of i felt was alpha pennsylvania and now making its way through various communities and now cross state lines into trenton, new jersey. danny freeman, thanks so much going to take a short break for now. you'll be back with this on the other side of the break all right

>> every style, every home >> this is cnn >> the world's news net all right, back to our breaking news. >> a hostage >> situation in new jersey when it began hours ago as a triple killing in pennsylvania, cnn's danny freeman is back with me now. so danny, this has been a very difficult investigation because it started out as a killing involving three people and a suspect who was just identified not long ago, maybe within the last hours are 26 year and then it led to a manhunt only across state lines into new jersey. and now we have this. yeah. and i just want to emphasize again my day job is covering pennsylvania and the philadelphia area. and this area of pennsylvania and bucks county, about 30 miles north of philly. it is a fairly quiet suburban area. the police departments in those areas are pretty small and you could tell how important and how quickly this particular situation escalated. because not only was the congressman in the area, congressman brian fitzpatrick, he commented on it saying that he was monitoring the situation as it was unfolding of a governor. josh shapiro of pennsylvania, also saying, we're monitoring the situation and watching it closely. we know that pennsylvania state police resources were brought in as this was unfolding, as as the search went on after the discovery of the three killings for the suspect, 26 year-old, andrea gordon and the search for his vehicle and then of course, as you noted, it has cross state lines where we're seeing this intense police presence there in trenton, new jersey as well. so it really has ballooned especially in an area at least the pennsylvania side where we're really don't see large law enforcement presence is like this on a daily basis. >> so currently it's reported that thus aspect the 27, 26 year old andriy gordon, maybe hold up barricading inside, at least from these visuals that we're seeing, aerial visuals thanks to our affiliate, it looks like a residential area, but we haven't heard anything definitively from investigators. but this person allegedly is barricaded. that there are hostages we saw earlier as we are watching these aerial views, we so police putting a ladder to a second level of the residents, escorting at least one person out. what is being corroborated by investigators thus far, what do we know about this situation? >> so it seems the big question that i think a lot of the public had initially, which was what started all of this. it seems seems that police, if they don't know the answer to what started all of this, they certainly know that the suspects, you, andrea gordon, has a connection to at least the three people that he's accused of killing early on the de in pennsylvania, and he has ties to trenton, new jersey where this barricade situation is unfolding right now. so one would think that investigators are getting more of a clue into what the motive behind this may be. but that's thing that we definitively know from polices that he knew those people, that he shot and allegedly killed, and that he has a reason to go into trenton and that was just to describe the area a little bit more veteran bucks county. it's on the border of pennsylvania. i'd rather the border of new jersey and where he's alleged to have stolen the car and more severe, new jersey had $1 general it's right across the river, run across the delaware from trent, new jersey. so between that and between him having allegedly connections to that at city, it makes sense that police would have been able to track him there. it seems fairly quickly but again, this hostage situation that we've been watching unfold basically this entire afternoon still nerve wracking has such a large police presence are swarming this home >> investigators have acknowledged that he has a connection to trenton, new jersey, but we're still waiting details. what kind of connection? >> yeah. exactly. an end. the only hint that we have at least what has been publicly stated on the record by and this is from falls township, pennsylvania police. is that gordon has connections to trent, new jersey, but is currently believed to be homeless, but but really beyond that, we have very little information about the suspect and again, an initially as you've been seeing under television, we were given his mug or is i guess it's driver's license photo right there just to put the alert out because police were searching for him and his car after leaving behind a triple homicide but in terms of why specifically, he is in this particular home with again, as police say, multiple hostages that we don't know the answer to, there was a stay in place, edict enough falls township that has since been lifted. do we know if there's anything similar in this location? >> that's a good question. i am not 100% sure when it comes specifically to trenton, it seems that they leased by what we're seeing from this wpvi helicopter affiliates there, that it is contained to this home and police have been focusing on and surrounding this home. but again, the shelter in place was predominantly for this false township area in pennsylvania, but a lot of surrounding areas took it very seriously as well. sesame place, not too far. they close their doors earlier today. a st. patrick's day parade also had to be postponed or understand canceled because of this intense police activity. but it seems right now well, i can tell you for sure the false township children place that was lifted, i believe it around 12, 30 or so. around 12, 25 because the they are focusing in on this home right here. you could just see the police presence is it seems to be growing some tactical vehicles right there. but this, of course, as you've noted was this is a tape delay. we're not showing you live images. >> yeah. yeah. we don't want to give any advantage to those might be using any kind of live coverage of the police. and they're planning on trying to put an end to this safely. all right. danny freeman. thank you so much. stick around with this as you continue to do your reporting and digging, we'll be right back with more if you work in spaceflight, this is the

himself with hostages, reportedly in trenton, new jersey. this after three people were shot and killed, in what officials are calling a domestic related incident. the suspect is identified as 26 year-old andriy gordon. he is considered armed and dangerous and we are expecting a press conference with police shortly. we'll bring that to you as it happens. also, we're learning the us state department is coordinating an evacuation flight for us citizens trapped in haiti as gang violence wreaked havoc on the caribbean nation, the agency released a bulletin from the us embassy today telling residents with valid american passports where to go if they are able to get to the airport. cnn's david culver has more on the ground in haiti. >> there's a tense. >> you're really >> quiet at times, feeling here on the ground in port-au-prince, though that is often interrupted by rounds of gunfire it gives you a sense of just how unpredictable things are here in haiti's capital comes amidst just what is a worsening crisis. and one, that the haitian people have been struggling to deal with government dysfunction and increasing gang from troll and many communities have actually started to barricade themselves in. some have even taken on self-harming brigades to defend themselves and their neighborhoods from encroaching gang activity. and the health care system, the food supply in food security in particular are thirt certainly threatened. if you look at the healthcare, the healthcare system itself, you've got some 80% of the hospitals in port-au-prince according to one local hospital executive that are now shutter, they've been ransacked, looted that medical workers themselves who have been targeted. and three of the hospitals that operate in the porous of areas here in port-au-prince? are among those that are closed. so it shows you that some of those who are in most need aren't going to get that treatment. food security is a huge concern here, especially with un officials trying to figure out how to ramp up food security rule foods fine lines rather and try to get as much into this capital city as possible as gangs have obviously made getting around increasingly difficult. 90% of the food consumed in haiti is important. >> shows >> you how much of a crisis is could become if it's not resolved immediately. in fact the un estimates that about 1 million people or a step away from famine getting into port-au-prince is in of itself a huge challenge, particularly from outside the country. we spent six days and then a mannequin republic trying to figure out logistics, how to get on the ground here. and it of course involves some your credit red tape. but beyond that, just the logistics of making sure that where you are flying into the landing zone that you are going to choose with secure enough that could change by the hour. in fact, helicopter pilots that we spoke with just a couple of days prior had a had a landing zone that they felt they were confident going in at today. security officials had declared that to be gang-controlled, shows you again, just how unpredictable these situations can be. here's a sampling of our journey into haiti's capital where i don't know what you like i'm going to pick one. i would forget them logistics up this trip alone and have been incredibly challenging to say the least, they're confirming with us something that we've been working on the entire day and that is the land itself, trying to figure out where we'll touch down. it's a very dire situation in port-au-prince gunshots >> to hear that if it is already. hearing gunshots, just a few seconds into stepping out of the car after arriving here, port-au-prince, our pilot sell us that they had been shot at at previous trips and yet they still intend to continue to make these missions as often as they can, not just to bring people in who like us want to cover this and bring this story to the world. but more importantly to bring those who are desperate to get out it's been, a lot of diplomats in particular that have left, but others are on the list. in fact, some of the pilots that we've spoken with say they have lists that are hundreds of people desperate to get out. of course that is really a luxury. any of the haitians don't have that opportunity, nor can they even consider it so for them, it's about having to deal with what is a worsening situation with each passing day and hoping that the un or other foreign forces that might be able to bring aid can do that as strategically and quickly as possible david culver, cnn, port-au-prince, haiti. >> and back in this country, we're also following the latest on this breaking news unfolding now in new jersey, where awaiting a press conference and neighbors
