Supporters of presidential candidate Bernie Sanders have started to crowd the entrance of the Chase Center in Wilmington Saturday morning.

Sanders, a U.S. Senator from Vermont, is set to speak at the Riverfront later this afternoon and supporters from around the mid-Atlantic are eager to rally support ahead of Tuesday's Delaware primary.

"When I heard he was coming to Wilmington I was sitting in class and almost peed my pants I am so excited," said Alexis Gibbs, a 20-year-old student at Delaware Technical Community College. "I believe in him because he is not like others on T.V. He is not taking money from (super PACS). He is the embodiment of his campaign."

"Every candidate has their priorities. He is talking about the problems of everyday people like tuition and the cost of healthcare," Hoy said. "It is just interesting to be around people who are passionate about this process." Jason Hoy, a math teacher from Marlton, New Jersey, was grading papers in the packed Chase Center atrium early Saturday morning. He said he drove to Wilmington to support a candidate he feels is focusing on the right issues, particularly his own student loan debt

Many in the contingent of Sanders supporters packed inside the center's main lobby were young. Some are even too young to vote but wanted to be a part of the process. Gaige Lenhardt, 17 of Pike Creek, said Sanders' style resonates with him.

Student dies after being assaulted inside high school in Wilmington, Del.

WILMINGTON, Del. (WPVI) --
A 16-year-old student has died after she was assaulted by several other students inside a high school bathroom in Wilmington, Delaware.

It happened at the Howard High School of Technology in the 400 block of East 12th Street on Thursday morning.

The name of the girl, who was a sophomore, has not been released.

No charges have been announced. Two girls and several witnesses are at the Wilmington Police Department being interviewed by detectives.

The Action Cam was outside the school as medics performed CPR on the victim, who was taken on a stretcher to a waiting state police helicopter.

She was airlifted to A.I. duPont Hospital for Children, where she was pronounced dead.

Students at the school told Action News reporter Chad Pradelli that the fight was over a boy, and that the girl was fighting with another girl in a bathroom when she was jumped.

Kayla Wilson says she was in a stall when the fight broke out.

"She was fighting a girl, and then that's when all these other girls started banking her -like jumping her - and she hit her head on the sink," Wilson said.

This whole Howard thing has me reflecting... Maybe I'm speaking for myself. Maybe my generation will be too proud to admit it. But I honestly don't remember a day during my school years where I didn't have at least a tiny bit of worry that something awful or tragic was gonna happen that day. Not necessarily to me, just in general. Pretty sure that's not how it's supposed to be.

A texting mix-up over a newborn resulted in a heartwarming moment between strangers.

Tallahassee, Florida, man Dennis Williams received a group text on Saturday, March 19, informing him that a couple was having a baby.

"We are at the hospital. Having a baby today!" the text read, followed by, "She has dilated to between 5-6."

"Congrats lol but I think someone got the wrong number," Dennis wrote back after he and his brother Deorick Williams read the message

But that text went unheeded, and soon enough, the pair received a picture of the newborn, to which Dennis responded, "Well I don't know y'all but me and the boys will be thru to take picture with the baby."

The family, Lindsey and Mark Knox and their newborn son Cason, later posted on Facebook about the whole thing themselves, writing, "What a blessing these two guys were to our family. They were so sweet and kind to do this! You 2 are great guys and thank you for giving to someone you didn't know! If we all only had this kind of a heart."
