pregnant woman was shot and killed and then, sadly, subsequently, her baby has died. now, we are on the corner of 20th and nedro streets in the ogon section of the city. the shooting happened just before 1:00 a.m. police say multiple calls came in about the shooting, and very quickly, within a matter of under a minute, officers were on the scene and they found two victims on this sidewalk lying between this white chevy impala and this storefront right here. you can see just a slew of evidence markers on the sidewalk extending into the street on to 20th street. those are indicating where detectives have found bullet casings. so, when police got here, they didn't even wait for an ambulance to arrive. they rushed the victims to einstein hospital. unfortunately, that's where a 25-year-old pregnant woman was pronounced dead. she had been shot four times in the head, the arm and both legs. she was, police believe, eight months pregnant. there was a man who was found with her also suffering from

several gunshot wounds on the sidewalk. he's a 26-year-old man shot in the back and the leg. he is right now at einstein university hospital in critical condition. he is expected to survive. here's what police are saying about what doctors did at the hospital with the pregnant woman. >> the doctors did what they can. they delivered the baby, and they worked on the baby for over an hour, but the baby was pronounced dead at 2:18 a.m. and the information we're receiving, it's preliminary, but the female was eight months pregnant at the time. >> reporter: and we learned around 2:18 this morning that the baby girl who that woman was carrying also died. now, police say they have a vague description of one man running from the scene. homicide detectives are out here. there are also detectives talking to several witnesses who called police. there are surveillance cameras in the area. so, right now police are trying to get a hold of that video to see if it did capture the shooting. they expect to be out here for

money. revel closed on the 2nd, followed a week later by trump plaza casino, which had been dying a slow death for years. four a.c. casinos have closed this year, sparking an employment crisis that could deepen with the trump taj mahal poised to fold in november. thousands of out-of-work casino workers could be joined by more unemployed workers. i talked with the mayor of a.c. last week. he tells me he doesn't believe they have reached bottom. he believes they are close to bottom. live on the boardwalk in atlantic city, jesse gary, nbc 10 news. >> and stay with nbc 10 news for continuing coverage of the casino crisis. nbc 10 jersey shore bureau reporter ted greenberg will be in new york later this morning as the revel auction gets under way, so we'll keep that covered for you. also, you can visit nbc10.com for a deeper look at the economic impact that the casino closures are having on atlantic city. five casinos could close this year alone. in the philadelphia school budget crisis, pennsylvania governor tom corbett will sign the new cigarette tax linto law

which will provide much-needed money for philadelphia's struggling schools. the state senate passed that tax bill yesterday. the $2-per-pack tax will generate an estimated $49 million for the school district this year and $80 million in following years. some say this is a good start towards closing that budget gap but a long-term solution is still needed. it's already been plugged into the budget. so, it's good news, but quite frankly, it's not enough. >> now, governor corbett is set to sign that tax into law later this morning. it would only apply to cigarettes sold in philadelphia. stopping isis. that is the message president obama will bring to the u.n. today as he delivers his annual address to the general assembly. you're looking here at damage in syria following the first u.s.-led air strikes targeting isis there. people were seen sifting through the rubble of buildings there. witnesses said missiles hit
