She’s back! A familiar great white shark has returned to the Jersey Shore.
Mary Lee, a 16-foot, 3456-pound great white shark, surfaced less than 40 miles off the coast of Atlantic City Friday, according to Ocearch.org.

Researchers have been monitoring the shark’s movements after tagging her off Cape Cod back on September 17, 2012. Since then she’s made several trips to New Jersey but hadn’t been seen in the area for six months prior to Friday.

Police identified two men who they say were caught on surveillance video stealing lottery tickets and jewelry from a home in Upper Pittsgrove Township last month.

The two suspects, identified as Joshua Robinson, 32, of Deptford, New Jersey and Eric Gilch, 28, of Blackwood, New Jersey broke into a home in Upper Pittsgrove back on April 12, according to investigators. The men encountered the family’s dogs and started scouring the home until the homeowner noticed the men on surveillance video and began to address the intruders remotely, officials said. Surveillance footage shows the startled burglars fleeing from the home.

The men allegedly stole 10 New Jersey lottery tickets, three of which were $2 winners, as well as a lockbox full of jewelry and personal documents. Police say Robinson redeemed the $6 worth of lottery tickets at a liquor store in Camden about 45 minutes after the burglary, which helped investigators identify him. Police also identified Gilch as an associate of Robinson after analyzing the surveillance video.

As detectives searched for Robinson in Camden they found Gilch walking in the area of Martin Luther King Boulevard and Broadway. After Gilch was arrested for allegedly having outstanding warrants, detectives found numerous pieces of stolen jewelry in his possession, investigators said. The jewelry, which included an inscribed, heirloom wedding band, was stolen during burglaries in Collingswood and Haddon Township, according to investigators.

Gilch is charged with burglary and theft. He was lodged at Salem County Jail in lieu of $75,000 cash bail. Police continue to search for Robinson and say he will be charged with burglary and theft.

Police arrested three suspects who they say attacked a student and then were caught on camera attacking two school police officers outside of a Northeast Philadelphia high school.

Edwin Burgos, 23, surrendered to police Monday and was arrested and charged with criminal conspiracy, aggravated assault, simple assault and other related offenses, police said. Burgos was the third suspect arrested in connection to the fight. On Wednesday, May 4, Roger Millington, 19, turned himself in to detectives and was charged with aggravated assault and other related offenses, police said. On Thursday, May 5, a juvenile was arrested and charged with aggravated assault and other related offenses.

Police say all three suspects were involved in the incident outside of Northeast High School back on May 2 at 3:30 p.m. Two school police officers were escorting students outside Northeast High School on Cottman Avenue after dismissal. Suddenly the officers spotted two men who were assaulting another student, investigators said. The officers separated the student from the two men in order to stop the attack, according to officials. The officers and the two men then began to argue which escalated into a physical confrontation. One of the officers, Lorenzo Tatum, told NBC10 one of the suspects pushed him from behind while the second suspect punched his partner. 

"As I'm on the ground another guy who I didn't even see comes over, starts punching me," Tatum said. "The first suspect, he punches my co-worker again, breaking his jaw."

A third male suspect then joined in and all three began to attack the school officers, according to officials. Philadelphia police officers then arrived at the scene and the suspects fled east on Cottman Avenue.

Tatum suffered a sprained ankle and some bruises while his partner suffered a broken jaw and was taken to Temple University Hospital to undergo surgery.

Friends and family are mourning two adults as well as two girls who perished in an early morning house fire in Norristown over the weekend.

The fire started inside a twin home along the 800 block of Dekalb Street around 4 a.m. Saturday. Responding firefighters were met by heavy flames on the first floor and the blaze quickly grew to two alarms.

A man, later identified by family members as 74-year-old El Pidio Fuentes Lopez, and another adult, who has not yet been identified, were both found dead inside the home. Jennifer Vinalay, 11, and her sister, Yaritza Vinalay, 6, were also found critically injured inside. Yaritza was taken to the Albert Einstein Medical Center where she died from her injuries Saturday. Jennifer was taken to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia where officials said she died overnight Monday into Tuesday.

The girls' family set up a GoFundMe page to raise money for their funerals.

Five other people inside the home were also taken to nearby hospitals with undisclosed injuries.

The fire appeared to have originated on the enclosed porch of the home though investigators said they don’t believe it was suspicious.

Manuel Irizarry, the son of Fuentes Lopez, described his father as the family’s patriarch.

“We’re gonna miss him and we’re gonna love him,” Irizarry said. “We’re here as a family. He liked to play cards, sports and be with the family.”

Fuentes Lopez is not related to Jennifer and Yaritza. Neighbors told NBC10 the father of the two girls frantically tried to save them during the fire.

“He was yelling for help and for us to call 911,” said Marco Vargas, one of the witnesses.

A memorial continued to grow Monday outside the home where the fire took place. Red Cross officials and firefighters also went door to door nearby with ready-to-install smoke alarms. Investigators are trying to determine whether the home had working alarms.

“You need a 10-year lithium battery, smoke alarm and a fire escape plan,” said Judge Renee Hughes of the Red Cross.

The blaze was one of three deadly fires that occurred in our area Saturday.

A couple died in their bedroom after a fire tore through the third floor of their row home on the 1700 block of Moore Street in South Philadelphia around midnight. Another blaze broke out inside an apartment building along the 4700 block of Hazel Avenue in West Philadelphia around 7:35 a.m. A man inside the building who investigators believe tried to fight back the flames instead of escaping, died in the fire. Another resident was taken to a nearby hospital with undisclosed injuries.

Overnight closures on I-676 and I-95 went into effect Monday night.

Travel restrictions on I-95 southbound between Aramingo Avenue and I-676 in Philadelphia began Monday, May 9 and will continue through Monday, May 23 from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.

The restrictions are for the resurfacing of the I-95 bridge over Spring Garden Street. Drivers traveling south on I-95 are advised to allow extra time for driving through the area due to expected backups and delays.

I-676 will also be closed overnight this week until Thursday, May 12 from 11 p.m. to 5 a.m. between I-76 and Broad Street.

The construction work and closures are part of PennDOT’s $4 million project to rehabilitate seven bridges in Philadelphia.

Three teenage girls have been charged in the death of a 16-year-old classmate inside their Delaware high school last month.

The Delaware Department of Justice announced Monday three teens face charges in the death of Amy Joyner-Francis after a fight inside a restroom at Howard High School of Technology in Wilmington on April 21.

After the fight, Joyner-Francis complained about head and chest pain. A school resource officer called 9-1-1, and Joyner-Francis lost consciousness before medics arrived. Medics gave the teen CPR as she was flown to a nearby children's hospital, where she later died.

An autopsy determined the teen died from cardiac arrest due to a heart defect with a contributing factor of "physical and emotional stress due to the fight." The Medical Examiner did not detect any internal injuries or significant blunt-force injuries.

"In layman’s terms, the Medical Examiner determined that Amy died from a cardiac incident that she was vulnerable to because of a pre-existing heart condition, but the cardiac incident would not have occurred if she had not been assaulted," a spokesperson wrote.

Joyner-Francis had a large atrial septal defect, a congenital heart condition, that made her more susceptible to cardiac arrest, according to the autopsy.

Investigators also determined that of the three girls who planned the attack on Joyner-Francis, only one of them, a 16-year-old girl, actually hit her.

Based on their investigation, the Delaware Department of Justice charged the 16-year-old girl accused of hitting Joyner-Francis with criminally negligent homicide. The other two girls are charged with criminal conspiracy.

All three girls are being charged as juveniles, though the state Department of Justice is seeking to have the 16-year-old girl tried as an adult. NBC10 is not releasing the names of the teens because they have not been charged as adults.

Prior to the charges, the three students were suspended for the incident.

Joyner-Francis' death left the Howard High school community reeling. Students held vigils and mourned their friend's death, while parents flooded school officials with calls about student safety. The school held two nights of meetings to allay parents' fears.

After the charges were announced Monday, city councilwoman Sherry Dorsey Walker spoke on behalf of Joyner-Francis' family.

"At the end of the day, there is still a life that's lost," she said. "That life belongs to that family. So right now they're heartbroken."

Walker urged Wilmington residents to have conversations about ending bullying in the wake of Joyner-Francis' death.

"I'm just asking that people in the community really start coming together and rallying behind the situation," she said. "We as a community need to recognize and realize what are we doing in the community to make a difference in the lives of our young people."

A suspect is in custody following a barricade situation in the Kensington section of Philadelphia Monday night, according to police.

Police say a man armed with a gun was inside a home with two women on the 3200 block of Hurley Street. Police and a SWAT team set up a staging area near the house shortly after 8 p.m. 

The suspect was later taken into custody. Police have not yet released his identity or the specific charges against him. No one was injured during the incident.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie will help Donald Trump prepare for the White House should he win the general election this November, the presumptive Republican nominee’s campaign announced Monday.

Christie has been named the chairman of Trump’s transition team and will oversee efforts to transition from a campaign to the Oval Office if Trump beats out out the Democratic nominee, according to a statement from the businessman.

"Governor Christie is an extremely knowledgeable and loyal person with the tools and resources to put together an unparalleled Transition Team, one that will be prepared to take over the White House when we win in November," Trump said in the statement.

Christie, who ran for the GOP nomination and dropped out after a defeat in New Hampshire, was among the first mainstream Republican politicians to endorse Trump. Trump and Christie have said they were longtime friends.

"I am honored by the confidence being place in me by Mr. Trump and look forward to putting together a first-rate team to assemble an administration to best serve the President-elect and the nation," Christie said in a statement.

Donald Trump’s attorney opposes unsealing some of the documents the Washington Post requested to be made public related to the Trump University class-action lawsuit, according to court documents filed Monday.

Rancho Palos Verdes Attorney Jill Martin has filed her opposition on behalf of Trump. According to the filing with the San Diego federal court where the November trial will be heard, Martin opposes unsealing some of the 52 documents “filed in support of and in opposition to” the class-action lawsuit. The documents consist of 1,200 pages.

According to court documents, the Washington Post’s attorneys exchanged emails and phone calls with Trump’s team after the newspaper had filed its “motion to intervene” in the case. Trump’s counsel agreed to unseal all the documents with the exception of four, consisting of 153 pages, the record detail.

The four documents are described in the filing as Trump University’s (Tus) “Playbooks.” The attorneys argue the documents contain “confidential trade secret information.”

According to the court documents, although Trump University has stopped enrolling students, the information retains “its commercial value in the event TU starts enrolling students again, something it may do.”

Calls to Trump’s attorney's were not immediately returned Monday. Attorney's for the Washington Post told NBC 7 it did not have a comment on the recent filing.

The Post’s motion to intervene was filed related to the older of the two lawsuits moving through San Diego courts, Cohen vs. Trump.

In the court documents, Martin argues the Post should not get to see what is in the documents because Judge Gallo has decided the documents contain “confidential trade secret information, which, if made public, would be harmful to TU’s competitive standing.” The documents detail that the Post’s argument “completely misses the mark” when they argue the public interest in this case “somehow outweighs” Trump’s.

Daniel Petrocelli, another of Trump’s attorney, spoke to NBC 7 Friday about deposition taken of Trump. He said it would “not be a good idea” to release it to the public. 

In the class action lawsuits, Trump University is accused of misleading students with unfulfilled promises of teaching them the secret to being successful in the real estate business. The allegations outlined in court documents include Trump University, which took in over $40 million, was fraudulent and deceptive. Students paid up to $35,000 for real estate seminars, according to court documents.

Trump denies the allegations in the lawsuits.

A hit-and-run driver left a bicyclist in critical condition after a crash in West Philadelphia Tuesday morning.

The wreck left the unidentified cyclist’s bike mangled in the middle of 52nd Street near Spruce Street around 2:20 a.m. The force of impact threw the cyclist to the asphalt, said police.

Medics rushed the 46-year-old man to Presbyterian Hospital where he was listed in critical but stable condition with a head injury and possible rib fractures, said Philadelphia Police.

Police hoped surveillance video could help them identify a suspect since no one witnessed the crash. they said the vehicle that struck the man appeared to be white or silver.

The places where Philadelphia city departments can't travel due to controversial laws that limit anti-discrimination protections for lesbian, gay and transgender people have extended to include three southern states and a southern city.

Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney announced late Monday a ban on all publicly funded and non-essential travel for city employees to Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee and the city of Oxford, Alabama.

The travel ban is in response to recent laws viewed as anti-LGBT.

"I am announcing this ban in response to the enactment of legislation that infringes the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender individuals in these jurisdictions," said Kenney. "I will reconsider this ban if the States of North Carolina, Mississippi, Tennessee and the city of Oxford, Alabama choose to repeal their discriminatory legislation."

Last month, Kenney announced the North Carolina and Mississippi bans, Monday he extended it to the other jurisdictions.

The North Carolina law directs transgender people to use public toilets corresponding to the sex listed on their birth certificate. The law also excludes LGBT people from state anti-discrimination protections, blocks local governments from expanding LGBT protections, and bars all types of workplace discrimination lawsuits from state courts. In Mississippi, legislation taking effect this summer will allow certain workers, including some in private businesses, to cite religious beliefs in denying services to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people.

Tennessee recently passed legislation that allows mental health counselors to refuse treatment based on religious or personal beliefs. Opponents say the measure allows discrimination against LGBT individuals.

And, transgender people in Oxford could face jail time for using a restroom that doesn't correspond with their biological sex, reported CNN.com.

A local energy-efficiency engineer who nearly plunged to his death when he fell nearly four stories through a glass floor at Philadelphia's Rodin Museum in 2012 has been awarded a $7.25 million settlement, his lawyers announced Tuesday.

Phani Guthula was inspecting light fixtures at the Rodin Museum, an outpost of the Philadelphia Museum of Art on Ben Franklin Parkway, Nov. 26, 2012 when he fell 38 feet through an unsecured glass attic floor, his attorneys said in a statement. Guthula suffered numerous fractures and trauma from "head to toe," the attorneys said, underwent more than 15 surgeries and spent more than a month and a half in the hospital as a result of his extensive injuries. He'll require lifelong medical care, the attorneys said.

"One of the Rodin's most famous sculptures is titled Gates of Hell," attorney Larry Bendesky, a member of Guthula's legal team, said. "The chilling picture of Phani Guthula falling nearly to his death could have the same title; his life has been a living hell every day since his fall."

Guthula was represented by the Saltz, Mongeluzzi, Barrett & Bendesky firm. Named as defendants in the suit were the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Allied Barton Security Services, which contracts with the museum.

Lawyers said that the Rodin had recently undergone renovations and that railings to keep people off the hazardous glass floor were not in place. Security officers at the museum were "uninformed and inattentive, and there was no signage to warn against a fall hazard to which everyone -- after the accident -- agreed existed when he almost met his death," attorney David Kwass said.

The museum was open for business at the time of Guthula's fall, and the fall was captured on surveillance video.

Lawyers said the settlement came on Friday just before jury selection was set to begin in the case.

"Mr. Guthula hopes that there are lessons learned by those who are responsible for workplace safety," Bendesky said. "The best plans and precautions are meaningless -- as they were in this case -- if they are not followed by everyone involved."

NBC10 has reached out to the Philadelphia Museum of Art for comment on the settlement.

A 10,000 grant is being used to make the journey of the Monarch butterfly a little easier.

PECO presented Bucks County Community College with a check Tuesday that will go toward restoring three Tyler State Park habitats for Monarch butterflies to use while migrating from central Mexico to Nova Scotia, Canada then back again.

“The habitat restoration will help the College’s STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) students gain scientific research experience and contribute to a national effort to track endangered butterflies,” said PECO in a news release.

Monarchs begin flying north in March and arrive in Nova Scotia around mid-June before heading south again in Mid-August. Along the way, the insects are spotted in Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey but in recent years fewer butterflies appear to be making the journey.

Non-profit MonarchWatch.org is trying to change the apparent decline in butterflies. The group tracks Monarch colonization and migration. After a five-year decline, this year more Monarchs colonized in Mexico, according to the group.

Those monarchs feed on milkweed and nectar as they make their journey.  The Tyler State Park project will help make up a small portion of about 12,000 U.S. butterfly habitats tracked by MonarchWatch.org. There are also thousands of private Monarch Waystations along the flight path of the majestic orange-and-black butterflies.

Each fall, some of the Monarchs, which only live about two to six weeks each, arrive in Cape May, New Jersey before making the journey across the Delaware Bay on the colony’s way south. Last season, spotters with the Monarch Monitoring Project recorded about as many Monarchs on Cape May Point as they had the year before after a steep decline in 2013.

A spill of a substance that may be paint into Tookany Creek in Cheltenham Township is under investigation, and work on a community pool believed to be connected with the spill has been suspended, township officials said Tuesday.

The spill into the stretch of Tookany Creek near Renninger Park in Glenside came on the same day that actor and environmental advocate Mark Ruffalo visited a different portion of the creek near Cheltenham Village to learn water sampling techniques from Academy of Natural Sciences researches with high-school students.

An NBC10 viewer sent in photos of the spill via Facebook. The pictures show a white, foamy substance pouring into the creek and pooling along its edge.

Cheltenham officials said in a statement that the spill was discovered about 5:30 p.m. Monday and that it appears to be related to a contractor painting and water-blasting Glenside Pool at the time.

The work at the pool was suspended, officials said, and the Department of Environmental Protection was notified. The township hired an environmental remediation company to clean up the contaminants, officials said.

Cleanup and an investigation into the spill is ongoing.

Police continued to investigate Monday a sexual assault at a high school in West Philadelphia.

A 14-year-old girl told investigators that a male student sexually assaulted her inside Sayre High School on the 5800 block of Walnut Street around 3:10 Friday afternoon, said police.

Police didn't immediately reveal anything more about the assault.

The Special Victims Unit continued its investigation Monday and as of midday no arrests were made.
