A New Jersey woman got stuck up a tree in a cemetery while trying to catch Pokemon on Tuesday night. Firefighters from the East Greenwich Township Fire and Rescue were dispatched to the Eglington Cemetery in Clarksboro, NJ on Tuesday night after a woman call 911. She had been playing "Pokemon Go" and for some reason decided to climb a tree to 'catch' a Pokemon in the augmented reality game. However, she got stuck up there and had to call for emergency help. The firefighters hoisted the ladder and led the woman to the ground. East Greenwich Township Fire Chief Rob Gould said, "The biggest thing we are trying to stress out of all this is people playing this game need to be cognizant about watching where they are going and what they are doing so no one gets hurt."

Philadelphia Police have released surveillance footage of a shooting inside a West Philadelphia donut shop from the weekend. It happened about 7 a.m. Sunday at the entrance of the store on the 4000 block of Lancaster Avenue. The suspect can be seen approaching the store and then firing several shots through the front door. He then fled in an unknown direction. A 20-year-old man was hit multiple times in the groin and was taken to Penn Presbyterian Hospital. The suspect is described as a black male, 45 to 50 years of age, 5'8, and 180 pounds. He was wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. If you have any information contact Southwest Detective Division at 215-686-3183/3184.
