showing s.w.a.t. running through a driveway in the brick mills farm development. state police say a shoot-out between the suspect and police led to the neighborhood lockdown. police believe the shooter is the same man who killed a delaware state trooper and state police told us about their efforts to resolve this situation. take a listen. >> we have our cmt, which sour hostage negotiators that are speaking with him or trying to establish some sort of communication with him at this time and establish that -- you know, get information from him and try to get a peaceful resolution to have him come out and peacefully surrender. >> whose house is that? >> it is his house. he's at his own house in the 500 block of st. michael drive. >> state police say the suspect lived at that house with his family, but his family is not there at the time. we just saw some unmarked police cars just driving down this area. and you talk about waiting out here for more than two hours

everyone involved. >> can we get a comment before you head. >>? >> while soto is now charged, police say another car, another driver was involved and announced in addition to the arrest of soto, another officer, tony forest is also fired. >> at this point, i can't speak to whether or not the investigation specifically will determine that drag racing, but certainly at reckless speeds and, of course, the striking of soto's vehicle is directly responsible to the death of mr. dimitry. >> outside the da's office, dimitry's family is pushing for all involved to face charges. >> we live in a nightmare. every day i wake up and it's a nightmare when i wake you. it's a nightmare when i go to sleep. i don't think it's fair. i really don't. >> now, at this point, soto, the officer you stau there in his police-issued photograph was the only officer charged. the family, of course, asking for others. we asked police if there will be additional charges. they say at this point, that is up to the district attorney's office.. when we asked them, they say no comment on the case.

outlined their security plan to keep the crowds safe. lauren joins us right in front of the draft stage. what can fans expect out there for the draft? >> well, the first thing you can expect when you get here is quite a show. take a look at this. this thing is huge. you'll be able to see this from way down on the parkway. but to actually get inside here, keep in mind, you are going to have to go through security. you'll have to be screened. this whole area is now fenced off. you'll have to go through specific designated gates along the parkway. you can't just walk in anywhere like you can on any other day. before you see the big football helmet and find the one for the eagles, you'll see the precautions to keep nfl draft fans safe. concrete barriers, sensing and metal detectors are all part of the security. >> this area very familiar to

operation, surrounding the latest big event to call the parkway home. >> and, you know, police tell us think of this like you're going to an eagles game. think of that in terms of what to expect when you get there, in terms of security. you're going to have to go through metal detectors. there will be certain things you can't bring in with you. and we have put a list of those on our website. ask before i let you guys go, i have to show you one more thing. take a look over here. this draft is for all teams, but just as we've been stavendzing here, we saw them putting these tarps up with the eagles. so it locks like the hometown team is getting a little bit of special attention there. what do you think about that? keith and aaron, with back to you. >> marking our territory. >> that's right. preferential treatment as it should be here in the city of brotherly love and sisterly affection. lauren, thank you so much. it's been cloudy here today, some rain showers could pop up here .there. we did see some sun, too. but the big question is, for

hill. 67 in bustleton and in somerton, all of those mayss are going to be well in the 70s to near 80 tomorrow. and it looks like we're going to be close to the warmest april ever recorded in philadelphia. right now, we're projecting second place, very, very close to first place in 1994. al.town, projecting records all-time warmest aprils. and some of that warm weather in the next couple of days contributing to that. you can see the clouds starting to move out as the upper air low that has caused all this mess continues to shift a little farther to the east. we've had a bit of a northerly flow today. that's why it hasn't rained, but we need a northwest flow to get the sunshine out of here. that's what we're getting. by tomorrow morning, though, it's going to be cloudy, some areas of fog, not very cool at all. highs in the 50s. by afternoon, even by noon time,

temperatures are into the 70s. we'll watch out as the shore is going to have a sea breeze tomorrow. and upper 70s in the afternoon. how about that? yesterday, 57 for a high. two days after that, 78. then here come showers, maybe even some thunderstorms overnight tonight. so that after the draft and before the friday morning rush, how about that for timing? and then friday, we start these temperatures going well up up into the 70s and into the low 80s with even more sunshine. not much wind tomorrow. 79 at coney, 78 in langhorne, 79 in elwood, 77 in allentown. that's pretty nice weather here. 77 borhees. cooler at the shore. 65 degrees for the high temperature. and for the draft itself, in philadelphia, away from the ocean, 77 degrees and a good bid

bit of sunshine. not a whole lot of wind tomorrow. 83 for the high temperature on friday. lots of sunshine. not much wind. saturday, 87, almost hot, kind of humid. showers .thunderstorms late in the day and into saturday night.. then we cool down just for a day on sunday. back to keith. and erin. glenn, not quite football weather, but we'll take it, right? back out here live at our nbc 10 nfl draft headquarters. >> we're having a great time and the eagles have their draftboard ready to make their picks tomorrow. csn's john clark is live at the novacare complex. john. >> yeah, hey, we caught up with the local draft experts, mike mayock. who does he want the eagles to take? hassan reddick, his dream is going to come true. and we're hearing from the ravens, coming up next.

i'm john clark live from the eagles novacare complex. one more night, the nfl draft. some people want the eagles to take a corner back or a defensive end. but take a look at carson went. why do we show carson? a lot of nfl network analysts that we caught up with today want to find a weapon for carson wentz. philly's own mike mayock said the same thing. carson wentz went from 13 to 8 to 2. most of the skill position people are on effectively

one-year contracts. so whoever the top defensive player on the board is, whether conley is available, whether it's rub b foster, you have to look at that guy versus what an offensive playmaker does for you. from my perspective, i'd rather take the offensive playmaker. >> hoish the man heading the eagles draft for the first time, it's swroe douglas. he spent a lot of years with the ravens, started out as a scott. we caught up with brian billick. he has a lot of good memories working with joe. joe was one that was not shy about having the courage for his conviction. if i say this is a player, i'm going to defend that. he's in a different perspective right now, but i imagine he's learned a lot tr being with ozzie newsome. >> working with howie, tom, have great experience running previous drafts in pittsburgh. guys like andy, doug peterson, with it's been a collaborative

process. >> hey, 21 draft prospects were all over philly today. they went to shriners hospital for children put something smiles on the kids' faces. and one of them was camden's own hassan red ek. he walked on at temple. his dream will come true tomorrow night in his hometown area. >> i feel like i was overlooked before and a lot of people's eyes have been open and they see what i can do. so going to where i could end up, it's all been beautiful. >> we'll have a lot more on our special at 7:00. i'm john clark, we're right back. ♪
