wasn't ticking and unclear if it posed any threat. as for the prisoners most of them were placed in the van to be transported elsewhere with you the bomb squad moved quickly and cleared district before they could leave so they were just returned to their cells. it is unclear if the suspect is facing any charges. the investigation is being handled by the attorney general's gun violence task force, through the d.a.'s office and at this point our calls there, have not been returned. we are live outside 35th district headquarters in logan, jeff chirico for channel six "action news". >> all right, thanks sketch. police in philadelphia meanwhile are searching for the driver of an suv that plunged into the delaware river, earlier this morning. it happened just before 3:00 a.m. witnesses say they saw a vehicle flying down oregon avenue and then crashed through a gate at columbus boulevard. >> we were at the light at the intersection, so a light, i mean a car comes, flying by, silver, not sure of the model just comes flying by. i'm not paying attention i heard a crash. so i think it crashed in
