and more time than any other republican but still came in sixth place with 7.4% of the vote. the people in new hampshire have spoken clearly that mr. trump is their selection in the election. >> he suspended events in south carolina and returned to new jersey where he met with advisers about ending his campaign. this is christie headquarters in morristown where all was quiet. >> to finish in single digits is an embarrassment, he is a talented politician we know that here in new jersey and it did not resonate with the new hampshire voters. >> it's time for the governor to focus on new jersey. >> there is a whole host of problems that really need to be addressed and you need an executive to take the reins of power. and we sampled voters. >> i am disappointed i liked him and would have voted for him.

i saw it coming but -- disappointed. >> i think it's the right thing for him to do. he is way behind in the polls and will not get nominated, time he spent time being the governor of new jersey. >> now the governor comes home to a state that disproved largely of his race and the time he spent out of state and the governor met with his campaign staff at 4:00 this afternoon to officially give them the news and spent time phoning his supporters and those that donated to his campaign. i'm nora muchanic, channel 6 "action news." >> in the race for the democratic nomination bernie sanders scored a crushing win 68% to 38% over hillary clinton. there will be more coming up about the new hampshire primary next at 6:30 on world news. a vote to remove attorney general, kathleen kane, fell

the school's medical center. >> a lot of students walked in complaining of the same thing, vomiting and diarrhea and not feeling well and some were on the dehydration side. >> the common thread seems to be that most of the students that fell ill reported eating dinner last night at the dining hall on campus. and while tainted food is certainly a possible. the outbreak could have spread person to person. we spoke to several students and whatever it is it spread quickly. >> pretty much ever where you go everyone is talking about it their house is sick or they're hall is sick. >> i hear about all of these people and now i'm scared i'm going to get sick i'm staying away from people. >> the dining hall is shuttered temporarily for a thorough cleaning and disinfecting. >> we are taking proactive measures that the halls and high

traffic areas are cleaned as well and special attention to where the students have been sickover night. >> jim we have an update here, we are told that the dining hall will voluntarily be shut down for the duration until the montgomery county health department can conduct a full investigation and county officials say it seems like norovirus but they need a couple of days to confirm that. everyone is expected to fully recover. walter perez, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. authorities in gloucester county arrested a man they say set fire to an apartment complex yesterday. 25-year-old artis bryant jr. faces arson and burglary charges, he is accused of starting the blaze on delsy drive and is in jail on $100,000 bail and the red cross is assisting four families displaced by the fire. it appears to be only a

matter of time before philadelphia police issue warrants for the arrest of former eagle, lesean mccoy and three of his friends. "action news" reporter, sara bloomquist is live at central detective headquarters, what do we know at this point. >> reporter: based on information from multiple sources we expected arrest warrants to be signed today but it seems here that the district attorney's office is taking their time with this one and want to make sure they interviewed all the witnesses and acquired all the cell phone video out there. the attorney says that he believes the evidence will show this is a clear-cut case of aggravated assault. >> philadelphia police are interviewing witnesses and combing cell phone video from the recess lounge in old city sunday morning. this video appears to show lesean mccoy's face, police say

that sunday mccoy and three friends including a former nfl player were inside of the recess lounge on south 2nd street. the running back and his friends got into a verbal argument with three off-duty police officers, one a sergeant over a bottle of champagne. and lawyer perry says he represents one of the officers. >> they suffered serious facial fractures and multiple bones in their faces and the video we have seen indicates that they were being stomped and beaten and struck while they were on the ground so for anyone to characterize this as a bar fight this is an aggravated assault that cured in a bar plain and simple. >> perry says the officers may have suffered permanent injuries and called them victims of a serious crime. >> it's quite scary, that these

men were trying to enjoy a night out in our town, a town that they protect and serve and they become crime victims, for being in that bar that night. >> now sources tell us while there were no charges filed today charges are coming, they were very clear about that. live at central detectives, sara bloomquist, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. the delaware county d.a. says that six police officers were seemingly justified in shooting and killing a motorist that aimed a gun at them. vernon odom has that story from the city of chester. >> this is shalamar longer of chester, he was killed when police fired at his vehicle, 100 rounds following a long car chase and ended at 12th and keystone in chester city. police say that he crashed the chevy trailblazer and then brandished an old revolver at

this shooting was justified. >> he never got out of car, i was there when the last ten shots were fired how and when did he brandished a gun at him. >> that is just overkill, 100 shots. >> the d.a. says the investigation is not closed and looking for witnesses or possible voice video. i'm vernon odom, channel 6 "action news" at police headquarter in chester. coming up on "action news" tonight, philadelphia's love park is set for a major redesign but before work gets underway, mayor jim kenney invites skateboarders to take one last spin around the park. and the leading scorer in high school basketball hails from the delaware valley. ducis rogers has that stories. and temperature as above freezing and we head into the deep freeze and we won't climb out of it until tuesday, we'll have the details and opportunities for snow in the accuweather forecast. >> those stories and more when "action news" continues tonight.
