4:34 am
8:30 at broad and grange street in the fernrock section of the city. a van heading north on broad street caring three women in their 20's and three children ages two to six years old, crashed into a building after someone fired several shots at that van. at least one bullet struck and killed the 23 year old driver, the five other passengers were taken to einstein medical center minor injuries. >> it doesn't appear that any of those five passengers, the adults, females, were struck by gunfire. they do have injuries. we're not certain how the injuries occurred. if they were hit with glass or as a result of the van crashing into the building, and there was some heavy damage to the van. so it was a pretty hard crash. >> police say that the driver who opened fire was behind the wheel of a dark colored car that continued northbound on broad street. investigators tell us, there are several cameras in that area. they're pulling surveillance
4:35 am
video to help them put the pieces together. investigators say, right now, it is unclear as karen mentioned, could this woman have been targeted, whether or not there was a road rage shooting. so, homicide investigators, we know, working this case pretty hard, so we're hoping to get an update later today. karen, thomas? >> hope they get those answers, jenny, thank you. 4:35, re emotion as survivors of the florida shooting and other gun violence got the rare chance to take a message directly to the president. president trump held listening session at the white house with victims of the park land shooting as well as those who experience columbine in sandy hook. one by one, they delivered powerful statements calling for action. >> and i was born into a world where i never got to experience safety and peace. there needs to be significant change in this country because this has to never happen again. >> my daughter has no voice. she was murdered last week and she was taken from us. how many schools, how many
