Sunset time 4 45. Bob kelly continues his vacation this week. Lets check traffic for you if there is any on this eve of new years eve. People dropping stuff in the studio. We are going nuts. The heres a disable vehicle on route 209 northbound it looks like it is off to the shoulder not slowing anyone down at all. I95 near highland avenue everything is moving smoothly there. Another disable vehicle to tell but route 202 north bound , just before route 252 in paoli, and for sunday, couple of big road that will be closed for mummers parade, jfk boulevard between 15th and 20th street, Market Street between 15th and 16th and these are the close another that will be in effect from 3 00 a. M. This will 6 00 p. M. On new years day. On new years day. 6 02 on this friday morning developing right now, so many people came out to pay their respects to a grandmother who was beloved in south philadelphia, you can see there was just a line around the block right there. She was shot in her own store. This is on christmas eve, right . My gosh. The good byes come as police make an arrest in her murder, they are calling it, an act of revenge. Steve keeley in south philadelphia, steve. Reporter well, it was revenge a begins maries grandson that was real shocker that came out yesterday. Were out front of saint mary magdellan church just four blocks from where marie buck was killed and this is where her funeral will be held later today. In a coincidence we have new information, why a killer from overbrook, deal drugs town here, how did he know her grandson . Well, her store, was at sixth and titan. This guy, 31 yearold Maurice Green, grew up four blocks from the store. Grew up there. Went to that store as a kid. So he knew the family. Knew her grandson. He grew up at sixth and carpenter right by his grandparent down here in south philadelphia. When they moved to the West Philadelphia overbrook area, he came back here, and this is where he would deal drugs with the grandson apparently according to police, arrested twice just this year that we know of among his 15 to 17 arrests, since he became an adult. Something that he he was into unfortunately and ultimately got his grandmother killed. He is very sad, family is very upset but did he work with us. Obviously she was intended target. He opened up the door and shot her 11 times. What we believe the grandson was supposed to be working that morning, so we think he was there with the intention of shooting, killing the grandson. He opened up the door, saw the grandmother and then he hade choice that he would kill the grandmother since he wases not there. He alleged that this jewelry was taken that was estimated it is worse anywhere between five and 10,000. In Police Report was ever made so we dont no that but that is what he is alleging that the grandson and someone else, got into his house, stole his jewelry and pawned his jewelry it is one of the more horrific murders i have dealt with in nine years. We have a 81 yearold grandmother, defense less, beloved by the community and to be killed in this hander it is just horrific, it is very sad but we are very happy that we were able to put this to a close in a very short time period. Reporter i learn from Police Yesterday that the grandson is in his 20s, close to the 31 years old that the accused killer Maurice Green is and how about that information, Maurice Green likely knew the woman he killed real well, probably grew up, she probably made sandwiches for him as she did everybody else here in south philadelphia and what he didnt know was that she had 750 bucks cash in her pocket, more in the register, she would have gave him all of it, and debt would have been paid off if she knew her grandson had this debt but grandson didnt tell her and this guy didnt ask any questions, just came in blasting away, knowing who he was killing and likely knowing this woman. We dont know that for sure but would you figure if he grew up just down sixth street from this store as a kid, knew her grandson that they knew her too. That makes it even more shocking, at 6 00 a. M. Today. Yeah, all right steve, just senseless. Reparticular lust. 6 06. We have had new developments russia going tit for tat with the you had suggesting now that it will be expelling dozens of our diplomates ape close two of our facilities in moscow after , of course, president obama announced very similar sanctionness retaliation for at alleged hacking of the u. S. Election by russia. White house accused russian president putin orchestrating it forwarded to wikileaks. Russia promised retaliation against u. S. And maybe that is coming. 6 06. You said tit for tat twice. There you go. It can happen again in the next hour. Okay. Thank you for watching good day fail on this friday, i know, im probably looking a little sun burned. Were a little bit jealous. A little bit. 6 07 now. This is a horrible story. A former elect official in Delaware County is in trouble with the law. Big time. Prosecutors say that William Spangler assaulted an elderly woman, 103 years old. Used to be a radnor township commissioner, William Spangler is facing indecent Assault Charges for instance dents that happened at a nursing home. He has a preliminary hearing scheduled for january the fifth. So right now we are getting ready for, of course, new years eve and we do it so well here. We do it at 6 00. We do it midnight with the fire works. That is right, early for the kid, later for the adults. What will you be doing . I dont know. I just dont know. I was going to come up with some quip but i dont know what i will be doing. Well, whatever you want to do jenny joyce will have our plans, out here. This is what i wont be to go shooting a hand gun in the air, come on folks, we have to stop doing this, jenny. That is for sure. Reporter positive thing is you can come down here for fire works at penns landing but police want everyone, to be celebrating safely. While you are counting down to the new year and celebrating with fire works, friend, family, Philadelphia Police want to remine people not to be celebrating by firing a gunshot into the air. Twentynine yearold joe jasku lka is living proof of the harm that can happen when people fire their guns in celebration, when he was just 11 years old he was walking down the street in south philadelphia and was struck in the head by a bullet that was fired, in celebration. The bullet remained lodged in his head and has been paralyzed ever since. What goes up, must come down. I just cant believe that people think that once it goes up, it gets sucked into outer space. And it is just crazy.

Sanctions target russian officials and kremlin intelligence services, white house says russia interfered in the u. S.

Some call them a small price in awe push for stronger sanctionness congress.

We will get you through rest of the the year and beyond, coming up in the seven day forecast, we will start off with a look at an accident where were hearing about on i95 northbound in delaware. It is at the off ramp to route 202, there are reports of two tive rent crashes, and icy conditions out there this morning with the rain we had yesterday there could be a few slick spots. I95 at cottman avenue road is dry and everything is normal. We will check the roosevelt boulevard approaching the schuylkill, and a lot of volume out there but we do understand that folks will get out of town early and that is why the patco high speed line has change their schedule today and they anticipate earlier departures for new years weekend, so, lots of folks want to get started on their holiday early today. You could see lines are waiting, all the people that loved marie and her daughter, and her son. They are very nice people.

An accident this delaware i95 north bound at off ramp to route 202, there was a little, report of ice on the roadway, and caused a couple of accidents there. It is 6 45. A look at traffic and weather in 15 seconds. Having looked at traffic already let us proceed to the forecast, for tomorrow night, there are two fire works, one at 6 00 where it is 40 degrees and when we say welcome to the new year at midnight it will be 35 degrees, best news about the new years eve forecast is it will be dry. We dont expect any precipitation. We have a few snow flurries that is creeping town into our area this morning. A couple of snow squals and that is the case today as wind pick up and we expect that to happen after sunrise, and so yes, some of these, streamers coming down from lake erie with the moisture and the cold air, it could give us a little snow squall or two. Other than that it looks like a very cold but dry day and it is probably cloudy, as we get to the new years eve celebrations around midnight but it should be dry as well, next chance of rain is not until machine morning when we are getting back to reality. It is 35 degrees in philadelphia. But feels like 20s all the way throughout the region. Fortyone our high it will feel blustery all day long. Sunny chilly tomorrow, high of 49 degrees on sunday in the bad at all for you this years day, rain, monday into tuesday , morning, milder temperatures for a while, and it gets cold again, on thursday. Karen and mike. Thanks, sue. What was your tweet. Im in rare form. That is from teddy. Kevin brings up a good point, kevin williams, why to we say new years eve, there is no christmass eve, why wouldnt it be new year eve. Unaudible. What . It begins with a s. Christmas eve. Christmas eve, evening before christmas, so wouldnt it be new year eve. I would say mike kaine i would say mikes candy it show possession, eve of it belongs to the new year it is new year s eve. New years eve. S apostrophe. I gotcha, okay. Most of us. Now see here somebody has said happy new years. I appreciate the sentiment, happy new years. Mike. It will be the new year before we do this this next story. A lot of us, i dont know maybe were generous. We try to dot right thing. Not all money we are donating is getting to the people we think that should get it. Let me explain. I will not explain william long onness will explain. Reporter american households on average toe nate 3,000 a year to charity. Regulators say about half doesnt go to charity, however but rather to the professional fundraisers and tell marketers they hire. There is many cases where is there a fun raising contracts where 85 to 90 percent of the money go to the professional fund raising company. Reporter to test that we have examined californias registry of charitable trusts, a list of most that the campaigns. This many cases charities raised thousands but got little back and some actually lost money, example, two campaigns this 2014 for Covenant House raised a combined 66,000. But the charity got billed for a total of 209,000 in, a statement Covenant House says it uses telemarketer to convert current donors to ongoing inly donors but ended the program this year n2015 the environmental detense fun ran seven campaigns, two hade nothing and four lost money costing it tens of thousands. It in a statement edf says campaigns were designed to attract new supporters and in the raise fund. They are not alone n2015, 24 percent of the charities in mostly national cam papers took homeless than zero cents a dollar and 21 percent lost honey all together. At Charity Watch we think it should cost more than 35 to raise a hundred dollars, that is our standard for reasonableness. Reporter but that is a high bar over last three years , almost 80 percent of u. S. Charities failed to keep at least 65 percent of their donations. But it is legal. U. S. Supreme court ruled states cannot regulate how much honey, a charity keeps. The bottom line experts say dont give to charities you do not know, dont be fooled by familiar names, dont be pressured, dont give cash and dont give money over the phone. If you do give give directly to a charity do you know N Los Angeles william longonthis is fox news. Wow. Isnt there a charity tracker. That is what im looking up now. Is there a web site where you put in whatever charity and it tells you how much honey goes to the cause or how much will go to their management or officials or something. Gotcha.
