A one-alarm fire broke out late Sunday night at a three story apartment building in the Kensington section of Philadelphia. Firefighters were able to control the blaze around midnight. Four people were taken to Temple University Hospital for treatment.

A woman has died from her injuries after police say she was struck by a hit-and-run driver Sunday night along the 700 block of Black Horse Pike in Haddon Township. The 67-year-old victim, was crossing the street when she was struck by a pickup truck. The driver fled the scene. The woman was taken to Cooper Hospital where she was pronounced dead.

The first pre-conclave meeting to elect a new pope is scheduled for today as Cardinals of the Catholic Church gather in Rome. The date for the conclave wonâ€™t be set until all of the Cardinals have arrived. The 115 men in red will enter the Sistine Chapel to deliberate, discuss and vote on one among them to become the 266th pope in the history of the church. The cardinals are to cast four ballots a day until a successful candidate achieves two-thirds of the votes. The ballots are burned in a stove after each vote and a chemical is added to the ballots. Black smoke means no pope, but white smoke will trigger bells at St. Peterâ€™s Basilica, meaning a new Pope has been named.
