Former Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb was arrested after a DUI crash in Arizona late last month, authorities said.

McNabb, 39, rear-ended another car at a red light in Gilbert, Arizona on the night of June 28, police said. Gilbert is about 35 miles southeast of Phoenix.

No one was hurt in the collision, police said.

Officers arrested the six-time Pro Bowler and hauled him into a holding facility where he was cited and then released.

This is the second time McNabb was arrested for DUI. He was sentenced to one-day in an Arizona jail for a DUI arrest in late 2013. He also underwent court-mandated alcohol treatment.

Three women and two children were rescued from a stuck elevator at a light rail station in northeastern New Jersey Tuesday after a three-hour ordeal on a highly humid day that saw temperatures outside creep near 90 degrees, a spokeswoman for NJ Transit, which operates the station, said.

Initial attempts by fire crews to lower the elevator at the Bergenline Avenue Hudson-Bergen Light Rail station in Union City, which stopped functioning due to a mechanical problem shortly before 11 a.m, failed, the spokeswoman said.

[[312134531, C]]

Technicians then tried to manually operate the elevator, which was stuck about 35 feet below ground and about 35 feet above the track level, the spokeswoman said. At one point a rescuer was inside the elevator trying to transfer the victims.

Details of the rescue weren't immediately clear, but authorities said all five people were safe.

Chopper 4 footage from the scene showed dozens of emergency responders at the scene, as crowds of onlookers flooded the area. Parts of the building were cordoned off and at least two stretchers were seen on the sidewalk outside the building.

The NJ Transit spokeswoman said emergency responders communicated with the trapped people throughout the rescue process. A ventilation system was also moved into the elevator shaft to keep the air flowing.

[[312114101, C]]

Light rail service at the Bergenline Avenue station was shut down during the rescue operation and bus service was being used to provide alternate service for riders.

[[312114191, C]]

Rail service was expected to remain closed at the station for several hours. The Hudson Bergen Light Rail was making all other stops except for the Bergenline Avenue station.

A Ride the Ducks amphibious vehicle's large blind spot and a lack of pedestrian crossing signals at a Philadelphia intersection led to the tragic death of a Texas woman run over by the tourist attraction this spring, a wrongful-death lawsuit claims.

Elizabeth Karnicki was pulled under the wheel of Duck Boat #46 — packed with passengers on a tour — at 11th and Arch Streets on May 8. The 68-year-old psychologist from Beaumont, Texas screamed seconds before her head and body were crushed by the front tires just a few feet from her husband, Dan.

The pair were crossing southbound on 11th Street when the light changed and the duck boat started to move west. According to the lawsuit filed Tuesday in Philadelphia's Court of Common Pleas, the duck boat driver could not see Karnicki or her husband because the driver's seat is 10 feet away from the large bow.

"These duck boats are deadly," said attorney Robert Mongeluzzi. "These are being driven through the most crowded streets in Philadelphia. It is very inappropriate for them to be operating."

A popular tourist attraction that opened in Philadelphia in 2003, Ride the Ducks takes passengers on an 80 minute tour around the city pointing out cultural sights before taking a 20 minute drive in the Delaware River.

Mongeluzzi showed 3D laser scans of the World War II-era duck boat to illustrate what he called a "massive blind spot" on the 11-foot tall, 35-foot long steel land and sea vehicle. Karnicki, being 5-feet tall, would never have been seen by the driver once he put his foot on the accelerator, the attorney claims.

The victim also had a blind spot, Mongeluzzi explained, because the duck boat blocked her view of the traffic light and prevented her from knowing how much time she had to cross. He said the city is at fault for failing to install a pedestrian countdown clock at the busy intersection that sits at the foot of the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

A spokesman for Ride the Ducks said safety is paramount and rebuked several claims including that the driver was at fault. 

"Witnesses interviewed by the police also stated that the decedent walked out against a red light, was distracted and the driver was not at fault," the statement read in part.

The city declined to comment citing the pending litigation.

A Deadly Anniversary

The lawsuit was announced on the fifth anniversary of Philadelphia's other deadly Ride the Ducks incident. On July 7, 2010, a duck boat, disabled in the Delaware River, was run down by a barge. Dozens of tourists were thrown into the water as the boat sank some 40 feet to the riverbed. Two Hungarian tourists could not escape and drowned.

The pilot of a tug boat pulling the barge was on his cellphone when the collision happened and later sentenced to two years in prison. Ride the Ducks and the tug operator settled with the victims for $17 million and the duck boats were dry docked for eight months.

The duck boat manufacturer, an arm of Ride the Ducks, is also cited in the lawsuit. Mongeluzzi said the company regularly built the vehicles on a 1940s-era chassis — from a time it was used during the D-Day invasion in France — to get around complying with modern safety standards.

Duck Boat 46 was refurbished in 2003, the suit said.

"Three deaths in less than five years have proven that the duck boats are dangerous on the water and dangerous on the land," the attorney said.

Disputing a Distraction

Witnesses of Karnicki's death told police and NBC10 the woman seemed distracted in the moments before she was run over.

A woman who declined to share her name on the day of the accident said Karnicki was looking down at her iPad while crossing the street. Another witness, Joseph Kist, said Karnicki had her back turned to the duck boat. "She didn't know what was coming by," he told NBC10 in May.

A Philadelphia Police spokeswoman also cited witnesses claiming the woman may have been distracted.

Mongeluzzi said three witness statements included police reports made no mention of Karnicki being distracted. He conceded, though, the issue will be a challenge in court.

The suit is seeking unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, and Mongeluzzi said Don Karnici, the victim's husband, wants Ride the Ducks shut down.

Answering a question about how closing the attraction could have a negative impact on tourism, the attorney balked.

"You don't promote Philadelphia tourism by drowning and crushing tourists to death," he said.

A boy is recovering after he fell down a well in Bucks County. 

The 5-year-old child fell about 15 feet into a well with about two feet of water in it in the backyard of a home on the 1400 block of Swamp Road in Buckingham Township Tuesday afternoon. 

It took responding rescue crews about 20 minutes to get the boy out using a ladder. The boy was taken to St. Mary's Hospital where he was treated for bumps and bruises. He was later released. 

In his homeland of Argentina, Jorge Bergoglio was not known as the guy determined to get the top job in the Catholic Church.

His increased responsibilities first as the Archbishop of Buenos Aires and then Cardinal, were already taking him away from the work he enjoyed most.

Before he was known around the world as Pope Francis, Fr. Jorge was a "slum priest" who spent as much time as he could in the poorest neighborhoods --  the Villas Miserias, or shantytowns of Buenos Aires. During my recent visit to Argentina with NBC10's Jim Rosenfield and Telemundo 62's Ramon Zayas, friends and staff who worked with him closely, interacting often on a daily basis, described Bergoglio to us as a man who certainly has strong feelings about leading by example, but his service to the poor also nourished him spiritually. He felt most comfortable, and comforted, they said, among the underserved.

Seminarian Patricio Lynch, who could pass as actor Ewan McGregor's younger brother, represents a new generation of slum priests and says much like the pope, he feels a profound connection to the families he works with in Villa 18, a neighborhood located about an hour outside the center of Buenos Aires.

Lynch, 37, spent time in Philadelphia a few years ago and during that time built a relationship with Amigos de Jesus, an organization based in Malvern, Chestesr County, Pennsylvania that helps children in Central America and Latin America. With funding from the organization, Lynch has started a scholarship program for young girls. This year, five middle schoolers in Villa 18 get to leave the neighborhood and attend classes at a private school. Lynch is convinced education is the best way out for kids born and raised in the barrios. You can learn more about his program and meet some of the people in our area who are funding this experiment by watching Jim Rosenfield's story:

A man accused of drag racing before a crash that killed a mother and three children two years ago has agreed to have his case heard by a judge rather than a jury.

The Philadelphia Inquirer reports that prosecutors agreed not to press for a mandatory life term if 24-year-old Khusen Akhmedov of Lancaster agreed to a nonjury trial.

His decision Tuesday came one day after 32-year-old Ahmen Holloman pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide and was sentenced to five to 10 years.

Authorities allege that the two were racing as 27-year-old Samara Banks and her children were crossing a north Philadelphia boulevard on foot in July 2013, and Akhmedov's car struck them.

Akhmedov's attorney has argued that he could only be convicted of involuntary manslaughter or vehicular homicide.

An arrest was made in connection to a shooting that wounded seven people, including three kids, in Philadelphia last month. 

Dennis Tindal, 36, was arrested Tuesday and charged with seven counts of aggravated assault, conspiracy and other related offenses. 

Police say Tindal was involved in a verbal and physical altercation with three other men back on June 22 around 10 a.m. on the 700 block of East Hilton Street. After the scuffle, Tindal left the location and said he would return, according to investigators.

Tindal eventually came back to the same location around 2:30 p.m. while a cookout was taking place, investigators said. Tindal was with another man who he gave a shotgun to, according to investigators. 

The unidentified man then opened fire striking a 3-year-old girl, 11-year-old girl, 10-year-old boy, 31-year-old woman, 47-year-old man, 25-year-old man and 23-year-old man, police said. 

Four of the victims reportedly suffered graze wounds, and the three additional victims were taken to Temple University Hospital, where two were in critical condition and one was stable, according to police. The shotgun was recovered by police at the scene. 

While Tindal is in custody police are still searching for the man who opened fire. He's described as a stocky man standing 5-foot-8 between the ages of 25 and 30. He was last seen wearing a red and white tank top. 

A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the identity, arrest and conviction of the shooter. If you have any information please call East Detective Division at 215-686-3243, the tip line at 215-686-TIPS or call 911.

Another shark was spotted at a Jersey Shore beach Tuesday. An NBC10 viewer sent us video of a shark that came ashore on the 36th Street Beach in Ocean City around 1 p.m.

A fisherman caught the shark and a crowd gathered around to look at it. The viewer who recorded the shark told NBC10 it survived and was eventually placed back in the ocean. 

An official with the Marine Mammal Stranding Center said the shark was likely a Sandbar Shark. Sandbar sharks, which are extremely common in our area, can grow up to eight feet and are not considered dangerous to people. 

The latest sighting comes a day after lifeguards in Margate and Avalon called swimmers out of the ocean after spotting sharks close to the shore. 

The public is on a heightened alert for sharks after a series of attacks in North and South Carolina over the past few weeks.

Shark attacks among humans are extremely rare. Tim Heim, a marine biologist with the Atlantic City Aquarium, told NBC10 last month people are more likely to be struck by lightning than attacked by a shark. There have been no recent shark attacks along the Jersey Shore or Delaware beaches.

A half-eaten dolphin carcass washed up in North Wildwood last month sparking the interest of vacationers and shark lovers on social media.

City officials are considering a plan to allow camping in some Philadelphia parks during the Pope’s highly anticipated visit in September for the World Meeting of Families.

Camping is currently prohibited in Philadelphia’s park system.  Mark Focht, the city’s First Deputy Commissioner of Parks and Facilities, told Philly Mag there have been discussions with World Meeting of Families representatives about possibly lifting the camping prohibition however for certain locations in the park system when Pope Francis visits. 

Philadelphia Mayoral spokesman Mark McDonald told Philly Mag no final decision has been made. 

An estimated 1.5 to 2 million people are expected to gather in Philadelphia for the World Meeting of Families. Pope Francis is scheduled to visit the Ben Franklin Parkway, Independence Mall, and the Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul during his visit to Philly on Sept. 26 and Sept. 27. 

The city has decided to hold a ticker-tape parade to celebrate the U.S. women's soccer team's World Cup victory, marking the first time in more than half a century that the honor will be bestowed upon female athletes.

Mayor de Blasio's office has announced plans for the parade, which will be held Friday beginning at 11 a.m. along Broadway from the Battery to City Hall, known as the Canyon of Heroes.

All are invited to celebrate along the parade route. Those who want a chance to attend the special program at City Hall can go to nyc.gov/parade or call 311 on Wednesday between 2 to 4 p.m. to sign up.

NBC 4 New York will be live streaming the parade on air and online.

Forward Abby Wambach tweeted: "Looks like we now are headed to NYC!! Very humbled by this... #the celebration continues." 

"NYC we will see you Friday! #WorldChamps," added team member Alex Morgan. 

The U.S. defeated Japan 5-2 on Sunday in Canada to win the World Cup, propelled by the heroic three-goal hat trick of South Jersey native Carli Lloyd.

On Monday, de Blasio's press secretary said the administration congratulated the team "on its tremendous achievement and is currently exploring logistics and talking with the team and other partners about a possible ticker-tape parade."

Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer had written to de Blasio suggesting the women be honored with a parade in lower Manhattan. In her letter, she said the team "set an amazing example for athletes across our great nation" and pointed out that there has never been a parade honoring a women's team.

"Our newest soccer champions represent an opportunity for New York to recognize that heroes and role models come in all genders," she said.

The route along Broadway is known as the Canyon of Heroes. Among those honored with parades have been the New York Yankees when they've won the World Series and the New York Giants when they've won the Super Bowl, most recently in 2012.

The last female athlete to earn the honor of the confetti shower was Olympic figure skating gold medalist Carol Heiss Jenkins in 1960, according to the Alliance for Downtown New York. Jenkins told The Wall Street Journal Tuesday that she wanted to see the women's soccer team celebrate in a similar manner. The U.S. women's team would be the first female sports team to earn the honor. 

The events have been known as ticker-tape parades, from the ticker tape that was showered down upon those being celebrated from people in the nearby buildings. The ticker tape has been replaced by paper confetti.

The U.S. women's soccer team is being honored with a rally in Los Angeles on Tuesday. The group is also expected to make a visit to the White House.

A U.S. senator is calling for a ban on a novelty cellphone case shaped like a gun, calling it tragedy waiting to happen. 

"It should be labeled as deadly, dangerous and illegal," Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) said at a news conference Tuesday.

The fake gun phone case, which retailers are trying to market as edgy and trendy, can be purchased for $5 to $50.

Schumer called on online retailers like Amazon and eBay to stop selling them. He added that novelty guns have an orange dot at the end of the barrel, while the phone cases do not.

"Even if they were to adopt it, we would say these guns are illegal because they don't meet federal law. They don't have that orange dot," he said. "We're asking Border Patrol, which is in charge of enforcing the law when it comes to imports, to stop it immediately." 

Cellphone users agree that the cases shouldn't be sold.

"They probably should be outlawed," said Robert Spagoni of Smithtown, Long Island.

"I don't think it's appropriate," said Zahra George of Long Island City, Queens. "The amount of gun violence we have in this country, I don't think it's appropriate at all." 

Officials in New Jersey issued their own plea last week for the public to not use purchase or use the cases. They say they could be mistaken for real guns by cops. 

“A police officer’s job is hard enough, without having to make a split second decision in the dark of night when someone decides without thinking to pull this out while stopped for a motor vehicle violation,” read a Facebook post from the Ocean County prosecutor's office. 

New Jersey State Police also posted the photos to Instagram in an effort to warn residents.

“It’s a terrible idea, and it’s very dangerous,” says the Instagram post. “We strongly recommend that you do not use this product.”

Hazmat crews responded to a New Jersey condo complex after a person showed Ebola-like symptoms.

State and local police responded overnight Tuesday into Wednesday to what they called a hazmat situation at Squankum Road & E Kennedy Boulevard in Lakewood Township, Ocean County.

The Lakewood Scoop reported that sources said the patient just returned from Africa and had symptoms -- including a high fever and vomiting. Those are symptoms of a lot of things and no one knows exactly what caused the patient to become ill. It could be a few days before we know for sure.

It wasn't clear which hospital treated the patient.

NBC10 has a crew at the scene.

A stabbing victim stumbled into a Philadelphia Chinese take-away to ask for help late Tuesday night.

Someone slashed the man’s arm and leg during a domestic argument near Germantown Avenue and Somerset Street in North Philadelphia.

After the incident, the man went into Sun Rise Chinese food takeout where a worker called 911.

Medics rushed the victim to Temple University Hospital where he is expected to be OK.

Investigators took a suspect into custody. No word yet on possible charges.
