The man who found 5-year-old Nailla Robinson will receive the $10,000 reward offered by police. 27-year-old Nelson Mandela Myers was on his way to work when he heard the girl's screams. He found her under the sliding board, cold, wet and wearing only a t-shirt. Myers wrapped his coat around her and called 911. Nelson Mandela Myers is the father a 5-year-old himself and says he was just doing what he would want someone else to do if it were his child.

The first flu related death of the season in Delaware has claimed the life of a 2 month old girl from New Castle County. The announcement was made yesterday by the Division of Public Health who are urging anyone over the age of 6 months who has not been vaccinated, to get a flu shot. Pennsylvania has now recorded 40 flu-related deaths this season, with 18 of those just last week.

A man died early this morning when he leaped from a moving SEPTA train in North Philadelphia. At about 1:30 am the 55 year old man was on an out of service north bound train. He jumped to the station platform from between 2 cars on the train but hit a pillar on the platform and was killed. Police are still investigating why he was on the out-of-service train.
