Police arrested a man accused of giving his teen daughter heroin, causing her to overdose.

On Saturday around 5:20 p.m. police responded to a home on the 600 block of Poplar Street in Lancaster City, Pennsylvania for a report of an overdose. When they arrived they found a 16-year-old girl unconscious on the second floor of the home.

After spotting heroin packaging material, one of the officers gave the girl naloxone but she did not respond. Lancaster paramedic Luke Dunn then arrived and gave the girl three more doses of naloxone. She eventually regained consciousness.

“That would be a lot,” Dunn said. “Sometimes it happens that way.”

The girl told police her father, Kerry Long, had given her heroin that had caused her overdose, according to investigators. She was taken to the hospital for additional treatment.

“The fact that someone was willing to risk their own life and their child’s life is disturbing to say the least,” said Lancaster Police Sergeant Bill Hickey.

Long was taken into custody for an unrelated bench warrant. After an interview and further investigation, Long was charged with aggravated assault, corruption of minors, endangering the welfare of a child and possession with intent to deliver heroin. He was arraigned and committed to the Lancaster County Prison in lieu of $1,000,000 bail.

If you have any additional information on the incident, please call Lancaster City Police at 717-735-3301.

Two teens and a man are fighting for their lives following a triple shooting in Philadelphia Monday night.

The shooting occurred on the 3100 block of Stirling Street at 9:05 p.m. A 17-year-old boy and a 16-year-old boy were both shot once in the stomach while a 21-year-old man was shot once in the right shoulder.

All three victims were taken to Aria-Torresdale Hospital and are currently in critical condition.

Investigators have not yet revealed what led to the shooting but believe the incident is drug-related. A weapon was recovered but no arrests have been made.

A Delaware pastor could end up facing daily fines for helping the homeless.

Pastor Aaron Appling of Victory Church West in Dover recently allowed Alexis Simms, a 21-year-old homeless mom who is battling lupus, to live in a RV in back of the church property.

“We want to stand up for her,” Appling said. “Because there is nobody else to stand up for her.”

Standing up for Simms could prove to be expensive for the church however. Kent County officials sent Appling a letter stating his church isn’t zoned to let homeless people stay on the property. The letter warns that if the church doesn’t act quickly, they could be fined $100 a day.

While county officials said the church can apply for re-zoning to make the land a campground, Appling says it would be too expensive. He’s hoping the church and the county can reach a compromise before the fines begin.

Appling’s church was also involved in another conflict last month after they announced a plan to build tiny houses to help out the homeless. The plan was opposed by neighbors who claimed the church doesn’t have enough control of the people who stay there.

Church leaders are hoping to change laws so that they can have more flexibility regarding what they can do with their own land.

“We have to choose at some point in time as believers who we’re going to stand for and help,” Appling said. “We’re not against them we’re just choosing we need to help this person more than we need to be pleasing to you.”

A day after facing off with Hillary Clinton in the second presidential debate, Republican nominee Donald Trump campaigned in Pennsylvania. Trump spoke at a rally at Ambridge Area Senior High School in Ambridge, Pennsylvania at 3:30 p.m. He then traveled to Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania where he spoke at the Mohegan Sun Arena at Casey Plaza at 7 p.m.

The campaign events came as Trump continues to battle to rescue his campaign after the release last week of a 2005 video in which he is heard bragging about how his fame allowed him to "do anything" to women. Several leading Republicans have withdrawn their support or even called for him to drop out of the race.

Questioned at Sunday's debate about his vulgar remarks, Trump turned his fire on the Democrats. He accused Bill Clinton of having been "abusive to women" and said Hillary Clinton went after those women "viciously." He declared the Democratic nominee had "tremendous hate in her heart" and should be in jail.

"Anything to avoid talking about your campaign and the way it's exploding," Clinton countered.

During Monday's rally in Ambridge, Trump said Clinton was "the worst abuser of women" to ever sit in the Oval Office. He claimed the media "condemned my words" but ignored what Clinton did.

He said the "last 72 hours has framed what this election is all about."

He said that it's about the "American people fighting back against corrupt politicians who don't care about anything except for staying in power."

Trump got backing Monday from his running mate, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who gave a series of television interviews, urging Republicans to stand behind Trump.

"This is a choice between two futures," Pence declared, saying he never considered leaving Trump's ticket.

"I'm honored to be standing with him," Pence said.

But House Speaker Paul Ryan told his party Monday he's focusing his efforts on keeping majorities in the House and will no longer defend Trump, and while his office insisted he's not dropping his support for Trump, the announcement gave the impression Ryan was conceding the election.

For voters appalled by Trump's words, the businessman's debate performance likely did little to ease their concerns. He denied he had kissed and groped women without their consent, dismissing his claims that he had as "locker room" talk.

Officers inside Philadelphia’s Public Housing Police Department tell the NBC10 Investigators developments routinely go unpatrolled.

“We have several developments that go uncovered every single solitary night because we don’t have the manpower,” one officer who spoke on the condition of anonymity said.
 
June’s police assignment sheets show some developments with blank space next to them or the abbreviation ‘L-O-M-P’ to signal a lack of man power.
 
“We’re tenants. We pay rent. We deserve just as much up here as others,” Abbottsford Home’s resident Vera Miller said. 

Miller is one of 90,000 public housing residents who rely on the Public Housing Police Department.
 
“As chief of police it’s my responsibility to ensure that we use the limited resources that we have efficiently and effectively,” public housing police chief Branville Bard said.

June’s public housing police assignment sheets also show a ‘special detail’ assigned to watch the CEO’s residence. Public Housing police officers said the detail affects their ability to patrol housing developments.

“To take one cop to make sure that your house is watched every single solitary night I think is totally unethical when that one cop could be in a development making sure thousands of people are safe,” one officer said.

Chief Bard disagreed.

“It doesn’t have any impact, but it’s a necessary function,” he said.

An internal police memo obtained by the NBC10 Investigators says officers can break away from patrolling the CEO’s residence to check on nearby public housing developments.

Chief Bard said the ‘special detail’ is necessary because in February two shots were fired at public housing CEO Kelvin Jeremiah’s home.  No one was hurt but to date no one has been arrested.
 
“Mr. Jeremiah is an asset of PHA and I’m going to protect him as such,” Chief Bard said.

The NBC10 Investigators' review of three years of public housing crime statistics shows the developments with the fewest patrols in June have historically had some of the lowest arrest rates.

The Abbottsford Homes development listed no assigned patrol during the month of June.  Since 2013 there have been 43 felonies recorded and five arrests made in that development.

“I wish I had an officer for every PHA development and every PHA asset 24 hours a day, but I don’t,” Chief Bard said.

Philadelphia’s public housing police department has 70 sworn officers. Philadelphia is the largest city in the country with its own public housing police department.  New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles all consolidated their public housing police into the city departments.

The Philadelphia School District announced major interventions for 11 schools in need. A spokesperson for the district said they will launch community engagement meetings and quality reviews for the following schools that are in need of rapid academic improvement:

• Bartram High School                                

• John Marshall Elementary School

• Ben Franklin High School                         

• Kensington Health Sciences Academy

• Blankenburg Elementary School                

• Overbrook High School

• Delaplaine McDaniel Elementary School     

• Samuel S. Fels High School

• Edward Heston Elementary School            

• Warren G. Harding Middle School

• John F. Hartranft School

“Despite investments made in all schools, some schools are not meeting students’ needs and parents’ expectations.  There are schools that require additional support right now so that children can have the learning opportunities they deserve,” said Dr. William R. Hite, Superintendent of The School District of Philadelphia. “To achieve the goal of a great school close to where all children live, each year the School District will prioritize schools to receive focused intervention as we work to drive school wide academic improvement and ensure better outcomes for our students.”  

School District officials say all eleven schools had low performances for three years straight, were not part of a major intervention program and had a three-year School Progress Report average equal to or less than 15 out of 100.

Officials say none of the 11 schools will be closed and none of them will become a Renaissance Charter. Forums in which school staff, parents and communities discuss the best ways to improve the schools will begin next week. The quality review process for the schools will also include meetings with teachers and principals to identify the schools’ strengths that can be built on, direct input from families and community members and objective third-party reviews highlighting the schools’ strengths and challenges.

Officials say the information gathered during the forums and review process will be presented to each school community during a public meeting in November. The intervention options include entering the school into the District’s turnaround network, merging the school with an existing high-quality program, engaging a contract partner, initiating an evidence-based plan for academic improvement or restarting the school.

“Each school has unique strengths and challenges, and each school community is special, but the goal for all children and all schools is the same: to ensure children are able to learn and to succeed,” Dr. Hite said.  “We are excited to begin this work with our parents and schools to make this goal a reality, and we will make the decisions necessary to ensure all children are given their right to a great education.”

An investigation is underway after officials say someone placed a burnt piece of paper in the gas tank of a Philadelphia Police vehicle.

Officials say they found a vandalized radio patrol car in the parking lot of the 35th District headquarters around 8:30 p.m. Monday. The vehicle’s gas tank was opened and the cap was placed on the ground. Officials also found a burnt piece of paper sticking out of the gas tank.

While investigators say the paper had been previously lit, they don't believe the vehicle ever caught fire.

No arrests have been made in the incident. Police continue to investigate.

Tuesday is the last day in Pennsylvania to register to vote in the presidential election next month.

If you haven't yet registered, it's most likely not too late to get your registration in under the wire before the end of the day. You can register to vote or change your residence address for your voter registration online by clicking here.

This year's divisive contest for the country's highest elected office has led to thousands of new applications for voter registration. In Pennsylvania, 369,000 new applications had been received by the Department of State through Monday, Oct. 3, according to state figures.

Another 235,000 applications from voters seeking changes to their current registration came in from Pennsylvania residents, the figures show.

Deadlines for Delaware and New Jersey voter registration are also fast-approaching:

- Delaware: Oct. 15

- New Jersey: Oct. 18

Both of those states also offer online registration options: New Jersey and Delaware. For all three states, new registrations and changes to existing registrations must be submitted through the county of your residence.

Make sure to check the deadlines. Some counties now offer day-of registration through midnight if done online. The deadline for submitting documents by mail or by hand may be cut off at 5 p.m.

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie says he was "really disturbed" by the predatory comments Donald Trump made about women a decade ago, but he is still supporting the Republican nominee for president. 

Christie had been mum on the matter since the video was released late last week, but broke his silence Tuesday as he co-hosted WFAN's "Boomer & Carton" sports radio show with Craig Carton. 

"It's completely indefensible and I won't defend it and haven't defended it," Christie said. "That kind of talk and conversation even in private is just unacceptable." 

The Republican governor revealed he was with Trump when Trump found out about the video leak. Christie said he does not believe Trump's apology -- where the former reality television star referred to his past comments as "locker room banter" and said he was embarrassed by them -- was sufficient. 

He acknowledged that the content of the video is "a little tough to explain" when you have kids and said it was not "immaterial" in deciding who to vote for, but that it should not be the only factor on Election Day. 

"I'm really upset about what I heard but in the end this election is about bigger issues than that," Christie said. "I'm still supporting Donald. Obviously I was disappointed by what happened and disappointed in some respects by the response initially but I am still supporting him." 

The issue of the video took center stage at Sunday's presidential debate, dominating social media discussion and overshadowing concerns about domestic policy and foreign relations. 

Meanwhile, a reeling Republican party is struggling to deal with the backlash. Forty Republican senators and congressmen have revoked their support for Trump — with nearly 30 of them calling on him to quit the race altogether in recent days. Few were passionate Trump supporters to begin with, the last straw being the video in which the candidate denigrated women. 

House Speaker Paul Ryan told fellow lawmakers on Monday he would not campaign for or defend the floundering businessman in the election's closing weeks. But the head of the Republican National Committee declared he was in full coordination with the embattled presidential nominee — opposing positions that highlight a political party increasingly battling itself as Election Day approaches.

Fire erupted at a rowhouse in Philadelphia Tuesday morning.

Authorities said the fire broke out in a home near the intersection of Frankford and Castor avenues, along the border of the city's Frankford and Kensington neighborhoods. Initial reports from officials indicated that everyone who was in the home at the time made it out safely, and no injuries were reported early.

Firefighters remained at the scene fighting the fire, which appeared to be located in a house on the end of the row, shortly before 9 a.m. The cause of the fire is not yet known.

A 52-year-old woman from Camden, NJ has been identified as the person struck and killed by a vehicle while crossing a busy road in Evesham Township Monday morning.

Police said Gloria Bautista was crossing Route 70, a six-lane highway, just west of Route 73 about 6:30 a.m. when a Ford Explorer traveling west on Route 70 struck and killed her. Bautista died at the scene.

The driver of the Explorer stayed at the scene and is cooperating in the investigation, police said. Police asked that any additional witnesses contact them at 856-983-1111.

A woman stabbed a man to death inside a Philadelphia home during a domestic dispute Tuesday morning, police said.

Officers responded to a home on 60th Street near Woodland Avenue in Southwest Philadelphia just after 9 a.m. Police tell NBC10 preliminary information indicated that the 20-year-old woman stabbed her boyfriend's 26-year-old brother to death during an argument.

NBC10 has learned that the argument may have been over just $10. Police are continuing to investigate.

Police arrested the woman at the home and recovered the weapon they believe she used to attack the man. The victim died just before 10 a.m. at Presbyterian Medical Center.
