Bucks County officials have determined that a decomposed body found under a tarp over the weekend died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. The body was found in a wooded area under a tarp near an abandoned industrial park on M-Y Lane in Morrisville. It was discovered by a man walking on a trail around 4 p.m. Saturday. The Bucks County coroner said that body was a man around 40-50 years old. The coroner ruled the death a suicide and that he died from a single shot to the head. The coroner also said the the body had been in the woods between three and five months judging by the decomposition. The man's identity is still unknown.

A Math teacher was shot and killed while trying to stop a shooter at a northern Nevada middle school this morning. Family members have identified 45-year-old Michael Landsberry as the one who died at Sparks Middle School. The gunman, a student at the school, is also dead. Two other boys were injured. Authorities did not fire any shots. Landsberry is a military veteran who leaves behind a wife and two stepdaughters.

Amtrak and NJ Transit service has resumed service at reduced speeds between Philadelphia and New York City. A single track has been opened in both directions. Service was shut down earlier this afternoon after a fatal accident along the tracks. The accident occurred near the Metropark station in Woodbridge Township. A person was struck by a train along the tracks around 4:00pm. No more details about the accident are available at this time. Expect delays.
