A tense three-hour with police standoff occurred after an armed

suspect fatally stabbed one woman and critically injured a second
victim Monday. According to Middlesex County Prosecutor Andrew
Carey, Rodney Jencsik barricaded himself inside his residence in Ideal
mobile homes around 4:45 pm, with Swat officers and other police,
armed taking positions around the home. Before Woodbridge police
rushed the area, a man identified himself as Jencskis brother stated
that he returned to their home covered in blood. The standoff included
back and forth gunshots from police and the suspect and lasted until
7:30 pm when officers fire hit him and taken into custody. Jencisk was
taken to a nearby hospital, with his condition currently unknown to the
public. Jancis is accused of stabbing Dina Marie Heil to death Monday

afternoon in her home in Old Bridge. No know motive is available at

this time.

Three train cars derailed in Englewood NJ Monday. The derailment

occurred off the CSX tracks north of Forste Avenue during the morning.
The three train cars were carrying cooking oil, with none of the oil
reported to have spilled. The cause for the derailment is currently
under investigation, with Fire Lt. David officals, calling the incident
"Minor". The Northern Branch, a former passenger line, is lightly used
by CSX compared to the company's River Line, which runs about two
miles to the west and often carries hazardous material such as volatile
Bakken crude oil. Those trains, which pass through 11 Bergen County
towns, have led to several fiery derailments throughout North America.
NJ Transit has long proposed using the Northern Branch to extend the
Hudson-Bergen Light Rail system 12 miles from North Bergen to
Englewood Hospital. Officials are still trying to tap funding for the
estimated $1-billion project. No injuries were reported from the
derailment.

In International News..
Russian aggression with dealing in the Syrian crisis have reached a
fever pitch this week, with reports coming from Turkey that a Russian
warplane along the Syrian border violated its airspace. This violation
prompted Turkis forces to scramble f-16 jets to monitor their airspace,
while also summoning the Russian ambassor to the cournty in protest.
The news comes as Russia continues to infuriate the U.S., Turkey,
3

and their coalition partners in the Middle East with airstrikes in Syria.
The Russian defense ministry released a cockpit video Sunday, which it
claims shows its fighter jets hitting ISIS positions in Syria, including a
command center and a training camp for the terrorist group. But the
locations that Russia says it hit are all in areas where there is no ISIS
presence according to U.S officials, and its coalition partners say what
Russia is really doing in Syria is propping up the Syrian regime, by
launching strikes on those who oppose the government.

A South Korean national who is a student at New York Uiveristy was

released forom North Korean custory Monday. Won Moon Joo, 21, was
released after being arrested for crossing the Chinese border into North
Korea six months earlier. Joo is a permanent resident within the United
States, and his motivations for his travel to North Korea is unknown.
However, the release is believed to be a sign of better ties being
created between North and South Korea, specifically after the recent
threats from the North in launching a long-range rocket last month.
Seoul's Unification Ministry described the North's decision to release
Joo as "fortunate" and urged it to free the three other South Korean
nationals who are being held within the country.
