Here's what's trending for May 24.

A weekend domestic incident ended with an unnamed 55-year-old man shot to death by state police. It all began around 2:30 Sunday afternoon when police were called to the 900 block of Berger Road in Williams Township for reports of a woman screaming. Gregory Ritter lives on the road and says he saw what was going on. "The man who lives over there was running around naked. He was asking crazy," Ritter says. He says the man knocked on his door shortly before the shooting and asked Ritter to help him rape the man's wife. When state police showed up, the man was acting erratically and a stun gun was used to try to subdue him. When that didn't work and when the man continued to act in an aggressive manner, a trooper shot and killed him. The investigation continues.

Pennsylvania State Police are launching an investigation after a pair of bodies were found in a wooded area of Carbon County over the weekend. Police say the bodies were discovered around 5 o'clock Saturday afternoon. One is presumed to be female and the other male. Officials haven't identified either of the bodies and ask anyone with information about missing people to call them.

Pennsylvania's COVID-19 restrictions will end next week. Earlier this month, Gov. Tom Wolf announced all remaining restrictions, except for mask-wearing, will be lifted on Memorial Day, which is one week from today. Many Republican lawmakers have been pushing for the governor to lift restrictions before the holiday weekend, but Wolf appears to be standing firm on his decision.

New Jersey could be lifting its indoor mask mandate as soon as Friday. Gov. Phil Murphy has voice his hesitancy about lifting this particular restriction, claiming vaccination rates aren't high enough. He's expected to make his latest announcement today. Sunday, Murphy took to Twitter reporting more than four-million New Jerseyans are now fully vaccinated.

New Jersey is kicking off its "Click It Or Ticket" campaign today. The state Division of Highway Traffic Safety awarded grants to 134 agencies in order to crack down on seatbelt enforcement statewide while also aiming to educate the public on the pluses of wearing a seatbelt.
