Officials Close Delaware Beach to Protect Birds
The first piping plover nest of the season has been found at Cape Henlopen State Park's Gordons Pond, and that means a half-mile stretch of beach will be closed.
The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control made the announcement Saturday.
The department says a half-mile stretch of beach between the Observation Towers and the Herring Point dune crossover will be closed to the public beginning Monday. The steps are taken to minimize disturbances to the tiny endangered shorebirds.
The area will remain closed until the last of the plover chicks are fledged, usually in late August.

Philly Mayor: Who Needs an Assault Weapon?!
Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney shook his head in frustration and exasperation Monday, answering questions about Orlando's mass shooting and gun control. "We're chasing our tail. We've tried a number of times to regulate assault weapons and handguns and the Pennsylvania legislature supersedes us at every turn."

'The Voice' Contestant Shares Memories of Christina Grimmie
Fans are mourning the loss of singer and New Jersey native, Christina Grimmie after she was shot and killed outside of a concert on Friday. Grimmie's 'The Voice' competitor and good friend, Audra McLaughlin, spoke of the wonderful memories she has of Grimmie.
"She was always smiling," McLaughlin told NBC10, "She would always walk by me and make these funny faces, she would joke around a lot."
The incident left fans, friends, family and celebrities who knew Grimmie, in shock.
"We're all numb," said McLaughlin who explained she and Grimmie became close during season 6 of 'The Voice'. She said the two would spend time together practicing and preparing for shows and became great friends.
McLaughlin explained that even the girls' families became friendly. She said that her mother would often text Grimmie's mother to catch up and congratulate her on all of the success.
McLaughlin said moving forward from Grimmie's death will be difficult and said one can never be prepared enough for a tragedy this devastating.
"You never think something like this is going to happen," McLaughlin said, "As an artist you just want to do what you love. With something like this, it's hard to think of the future ... you just have to keep going."
Grimmie grew up in Marlton, Burlington County and attended Cherokee High School.
A candlelight vigil for Grimmie is planned for Monday night at the Marlton Sports Complex.

Orlando Gunman's Former NJ Wife: He Beat Me
The gunman responsible for the deadliest U.S. mass shooting was a violent husband, according to his former wife from New Jersey.
Sitora Yusufiy said she and Omar Mateen met online while she was living in New Jersey and he was in Florida. They married in 2009, her brother confirmed with NBC10's Cydney Long, but their time together was relatively brief because once the family found out Yusufiy was being abused, they went down to Florida to get her.
"My family literally rescued me," Yusufiy told Reuters. "The night that they were there they had to literally pull me out of his arms and find an emergency flight. I left all my belongings."
Yusufiy said Mateen was not a fervently religious man or supporter of terrorism when she was with him. Yusufiy told reporters he was bi-polar and his mental instability was the only thing she could think of that would lead him to open fire with an assault rifle at a gay nightclub in Orlando Sunday night. Mateen murdered 49 people and wounded another 53 before he was killed in a hail of gunfire when police stormed the club.
"He was not a stable person," she told The Washington Post. "He beat me. He would just come home and start beating me up because the laundry wasn't finished or something like that."
The couple divorced in 2011 and the process took about a year and a half Yusufiy said because of the distance -- he stayed in Florida and she came back to New Jersey.
Her brother, who didn't want his first name used, said from the driveway of the family's Edison home Monday that he barely knew Mateen. "It's a terrible thing that happened, a real tragedy. I feel bad for all those 50 people, those families that lost their sons and daughters," adding his sister was doing pretty well and he was "pretty happy" she no longer is tied to him.
"She's a strong woman, as you can tell."
Sitora Yusufiy, who now lives in Boulder, Colorado was awakened by her parents Sunday morning to learn what her ex-husband had done.
"I was devastated, shocked, started shaking and crying," Yusufiy said. "I was so so deeply hurt and heartbroken for the people who lost their loved ones and the families that are now suffering."
