The Atlantic City Airshow is one of the biggest free summer events down the shore and continues to attract thousands of viewers over its 16-year history. The Greater Atlantic City Chamber President Joe Kelly said the event has helped drive tourism to the area and showcase some of Atlantic City's amenities to hundreds of thousands of visitors.

Here's what you need to know if you're thinking of going:

WEATHER

Scattered showers remain a possibility as viewers set up their chairs Wednesday morning for the airshow, NBC10 First Alert Weather Meteorologist Krystal Klei said.

The weather is expected to dry out for the afternoon with temperatures in the mid-80's, but clouds will most likely linger throughout the show.

PARKING

The Borgata will provide complimentary Airshow Park and Ride Service for guests and the public beginning at 10 a.m. from the north entrance of its surface lot. The last shuttle to the beach will be at 1:30 p.m. and the last return shuttle to Borgata will be at 4:30 p.m.

More parking information can be found here.

WHERE TO WATCH

Atlantic City's free beaches and boardwalk along with ocean-facing hotel rooms and outdoor venues will be great places to view the airshow. Boaters who wish to view the airshow from the ocean are allowed to do so, but there will be a "no boat zone" restricting them from getting too close to the Atlantic City beach.

TICKETS

Viewing the Airshow is free to all spectators, however, there is a variety of ticket packages that can be purchased for VIP seating.

A man who was wanted on a warrant was shot and killed by police after allegedly driving into an officer in the Tacony section of Northeast Philadelphia Monday afternoon.

Officers with the Northeast Narcotics Field Unit were on the 7100 block of Hegerman Street to serve a search warrant around 4:10 p.m. The man who was wanted on the warrant was in a black Toyota Camry and tried to flee the scene, police said.

The man allegedly drove into at least one of the officers, injuring his right knee and hip. Another officer fired three shots at the man, striking him in the head and chest.

"They said, 'Get out! Get out!' He wouldn't get out and they shot," Geri Dixon, a witness, told NBC10. "They did what they needed to do. It was justified."

The man, who has not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene at 4:18 p.m.

Besides the officer who was struck by the vehicle, two other officers were also injured though it's unclear how. None of the officers' injuries are life-threatening.

"The most important thing is to make sure all the facts come out," Philadelphia Police Capt. Sekou Kinebrew said. "The investigation is exhaustive, not hasty, comprehensive and we get to the truth of the matter."

Out of Church's Tainted Shadow Emerges New Kind of Catholic

≪ Previous: Barbershop Holds Meeting Between Police and Community

A new generation of Catholics is stepping outside the church's tainted shadow and creating a modern community that, they say, better reflects the world today.

This new generation of believers worship outside the confines of what an antiquated and draconian institution, they say. This has been a daily practice for many long before a Pennsylvania grand jury report exposed decades of sexual abuse by hundreds of clergy members throughout the state.

Church Today 'Not the Church' of Pa. Grand Jury Report

“We’ve always had an antagonistic or non-relationship with the bishops,” Michael Rocks, president of Dignity Philadelphia, said. “We don’t trust them to police themselves.”

Founded in 1973, Dignity is a community of LGBT Catholics who worship in the basement of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Center City. Their services are frequently led by Kathleen Gibbons Schuck, a woman who was ordained as a priest in 2015.

Catholics Consider WIthholding Donations Amid Scandals

Schuck is one of more than 200 Roman Catholic Women Priests around the world. Their unique sisterhood dates back to 2002 when a group of radical male bishops took it upon themselves to ordain seven women on the Danube River. While the Vatican does not recognize these ministers, Schuck and her sisters remained undeterred.

“We live below the radar,” she said. “It’s all about community. I believe at the deepest level that’s what Jesus calls us all to.”

Pa. Catholic School Sign With Cardinal's Name Vandalized

Despite their rejection of the traditional Catholic Church, both Rocks and Schuck consider themselves faithful. Rocks is a gay man, and Schuck is married to a man and has a college-aged daughter.

Both church leaders are drawn to Catholicism’s sense of community.

“I have found that at times of real trauma, grief, the support of a community has made a difference and helped me get through challenging situations,” Schuck said.

But her 21-year-old daughter remains cautious, if not cynical, regarding the church her mother embraces. When the grand jury report came out last week, Schuck’s daughter told her that the news merely exposed “a scam for what it really is.”

Schuck’s daughter is not alone in her mistrust of organized religion. More than 30 percent of millennials consider themselves to be religiously unaffiliated, according to a 2014 study by the Pew Research Center. Even older Americans are increasingly calling themselves atheist or agnostic - almost a quarter of the U.S. population now considers itself unaffiliated compared to just 16 percent in 2007.

“Whereas it is life-giving and energizing for me, it is not for [my daughter],” Schuck said.

The Pennsylvania grand jury report forced many Catholics to confront painful realities about the church, but it has not necessarily shaken their faith.

Pope Francis issued a letter to believers around the world Monday condemning the crime of priestly sexual abuse and demanding accountability. He begged forgiveness for the pain suffered by victims and said lay Catholics must be involved in any effort to root out abuse and cover-up.

His words resonated throughout the world, even drawing the praise of Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro, who spearheaded the grand jury investigation.

The pope’s words also helped to galvanize a new generation of Catholics who want to see the church modernize.

“I have known and have met priests that are genuinely good,” a 23-year-old La Salle University student told NBC10. “You can’t judge one person by what another person has done.”

The Philadelphia native asked that her name not be used because her family is active within the local church community. She admits that of her friends, she is the only one who openly practices Catholicism. The others “have fallen off,” she said. They are too busy with school and work to attend mass, and they don’t necessarily understand supporting an organization accused of so much wrongdoing.

“I was taught church is the people, not the building,” she said.

Drivers heading to or from the Poconos this week should plan on the trip possibly taking a little bit longer due to a day-time tunnel closure.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission closed the northbound tunnel of the Lehigh Tunnel from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Tuesday. The closure is also set to take place Wednesday and Thursday so crews can perform tunnel inspections.

During the closure both northbound and southbound traffic in the Lehigh Tunnel, between the Lehigh Valley (Exit 56) and Mahoning Valley (Exit 74) interchanges, will be forced to use a single lane each in the southbound tunnel, the turnpike commission said.

“Message boards will be activated to update motorists of any changes to the schedule caused by inclement weather or unforeseen traffic conditions,” the turnpike commission said in a news release. “If the work is delayed, it will take place on the next available day.”

Drivers were urged to turn on their headlights and stay alert while going through the tunnel.

Inspections on the southbound tunnel will be completed in the near future but no exact dates have been determined, the turnpike said.

The luxury jet that blew two tires during takeoff from New Jersey's Teterboro Airport Tuesday and spent hours burning off fuel over the tri-state area may be carrying rap star Post Malone and his entourage, according to Instagram videos posted by his crew and multiple other reports.

The Gulfstream IV jet was carrying 16 passengers when it left Teterboro Airport shortly before 11 a.m. Authorities did not confirm the identities of those on board, but news outlets say the Syracuse-born Post Malone was on the plane.

Videos posted to social media by multiple members of Post Malone's team, including his manager, his bodyguard and his DJ, showed the rapper boarding a plane at Teterboro Airport at about 10 a.m. Post Malone was seen reclining on a bed on the jet as it began to taxi on the runway.

No injuries were immediately reported aboard the aircraft, which was departing for London Luton Airport in Luton, England. Post Malone's next tour stop is in England.

Emergency crews readied to receive the plane at Teterboro after the pilot circled for a time, burning fuel, but it was then diverted to an airport in Massachusetts. Then it was said to be making an emergency landing somewhere in Connecticut before it was diverted back to New York -- to Stewart Airport.

Post Malone performed at the MTV Video Music Awards in New York City Monday night with Aerosmith and won Song of the Year at the ceremony for his hit "Rockstar."

A Roman Catholic university in Scranton, Pennsylvania, said it is standing with victims of child sexual abuse by removing the names of three bishops from campus buildings and rescinding their honorary degrees.

The move is part of the growing fallout from a grand jury report that said a succession of church leaders helped cover up abuse by some 300 Catholic priests in Pennsylvania who victimized more than 1,000 children, and possibly many more, since the 1940s.

Out of Church's Tainted Shadow Emerges New Kind of Catholic

The names of bishops Jerome D. Hannan, J. Carroll McCormick and James C. Timlin will be scrubbed from the university "with sympathy and in solidarity with victims of sexual abuse," a letter sent to students, employees and alumni stated.

"As documented in the report, these Bishops covered up the crimes and misdeeds of men who were under their jurisdiction and placed children in harm’s way," the letter said.

Church Today 'Not the Church' of Pa. Grand Jury Report

Buildings will be renamed to highlight positive role models within the Catholic Church, according to the letter. New honorees include an Australian nun who publicly exposed the sexual abuse of children by a priest and the late Oscar Romero, Archbishop of San Salvador, who will be canonized by Pope Francis in October. He was killed in 1980 while saying mass in his native country.

Earlier this week, a Roman Catholic high school in Pennsylvania named for Cardinal Donald Wuerl was vandalized with paint. North Catholic High School is part of the Pittsburgh Diocese, where Wuerl was bishop from 1988 to 2006. Wuerl is now archbishop of Washington and accused to helping protect several priests accused of sexually abusing children.

Meanwhile, the Harrisburg diocese previously announced it was also holding past church leadership accountable for the sexual abuse of children by priests, and stripping from church properties the names of bishops going back 70 years.
