Fight Breaks Out at South Philly Easter Carnival: A large fight prompted the early closure of an Easter carnival benefiting a South Philadelphia little league Sunday night and eventually led to five arrests, police said. The fight involving a number of teens started around 7:30 p.m. at the Southeast Youth Athletic Association Easter carnival at 700 Packer Avenue, police said. Officers quickly flooded the area and brought the disturbance under control. Paramedics were dispatched to the scene and one person was taken to the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia after having trouble breathing, officials said. It's not clear if they were involved in the fight. The carnival operators opted to shut down the fair early because of the trouble, officials said. SEPTA Police Chief Thomas Nestel said trouble broke out on the Broad Street Subway as a crowd of people made their way onto the line following the fight and carnival's closure. Five people were arrested for disorderly conduct, Nestel said. SEPTA Police escorted the rest of the crowd to the Hunting Park station where they dispersed.

WHAT YOU MISSED YESTERDAY
Driver Dies as Pick-Up Slams into Restaurant: A 79-year-old man died after his pickup truck crashed into an eastern Pennsylvania restaurant, said authorities. South Whitehall Township Police Chief John Christman said the crash happened just after 12:30 p.m. Sunday when the Palmerton man lost control, sideswiped two vehicles, hit a utility pole and slammed into the side of Norma J's Restaurant. The Lehigh County Coroner's Office said Norman Wisser was pronounced dead at the scene about a half-hour later. An autopsy is scheduled for Monday. The restaurant, which sits along Route 309 near Orefield Middle School, wasn't open at the time of the crash and no one else was injured in the wreck.

2 More Americans Confirmed Dead in Brussels Attacks: Two more American citizens were confirmed to have died in the Brussels attacks, the State Department told NBC News Sunday. The confirmation brings the total number of U.S. citizens killed to four. The latest victims were not identified, out of respect for the families. "The U.S. Embassy in Brussels is providing consular assistance," the official said. "We have no further information to share out of respect for the families during this difficult time.” Officials previously said at least a dozen Americans were injured in the attacks last Tuesday. President Barack Obama contacted the family of an American couple who were identified among the dead in Tuesday's attacks. The White House said Obama offered his condolences to the parents of Justin Shults. Justin, 30, and his wife Stephanie, 29, were seeing her mother off at the airport when the bombs went off. Stephanie was originally reported missing, but was confirmed dead Saturday.
TODAY'S TALKER
No Texting While Walking: Jared Schumacher is among the hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans who routinely use electronic devices to text, listen to music or do other tasks as they walk outdoors. But if a "distracted walking" measure recently proposed by a state assemblywoman eventually becomes law, the Trenton man and others like him could be facing fines or even jail time. Experts say distracted walking is a growing problem around the globe, as people of all ages become more dependent on electronic devices for personal and professional matters. They also note pedestrian deaths have been rising in recent years. Eleven percent of all fatalities in 2005 involved pedestrians, but that number rose to 15 percent in 2014. The rise in deaths coincides with states introducing bills that target pedestrians and/or bicyclists. For instance, a bill pending in Hawaii would fine someone $250 if he or she crossed the street with an electronic device. In recent years, similar bills have failed in states including Arkansas, Illinois, Nevada and New York. The measure recently introduced by New Jersey Assemblywoman Pamela Lampitt would ban walking while texting and bar pedestrians on public roads from using electronic communication devices unless they are hands-free. Violators would face fines of up to $50, 15 days imprisonment or both, which is the same penalty as jaywalking.
