Breaking news out of delaware county. Police investigating homicide. But they are combing for clues at couple of did i rent scenes. Because there is a blood trail, believe it or not. Dave kinchens been two different locations, hey, dave . Yes, blood trail that spanned about a half mile, if not more, were in the location now, where investigators are working this case here in cobbs creek, actually im joined boy chief millionno from the Police Department in yeadon, youve been tracking the blood trail since 3 00 a. M. What do wove so far here . At about 3 10 this morning, our Police Department responded to an injured person, 600 block of yeadon, on arrival of the call, they found a 32 year old female who sustained severe laceration of the throat area. Immediately pronounced by police. At that time the vehicles started, we spoke to the resident who lives at that address who expected her to arrive at his house around 11 30 last night. Apparently she didnt arrive at that time. He left the door open. Woke up around 3 00 in the morning, went outside, and saw her laying on the steps and medically called police. That was the first Police Response of the scene. That was Family Friends expecting her . Family friends at one point, mom and the victim, being the daughter, resided at this house, so they were known by this gentleman, and they were definitely a family friend. As aas a result of look telling crime scene, 600 block of bailey road, we were able to observe blood droplet and helped dollars down certain steps. We tracked the blood droplet throughout the borough of yeadon, into the 400 block of church lane, across the septa Regional Rail line. And then into upper darby jurisdiction, and from there to baltimore avenue, blood tracked from baltimore avenue 61 street all the way up to 58th and cobbs creek parkway. Looks like a knife in the sewer we believe . As a result we had philly k9 come in. We attempted to track the suspects walk areas a result of the blood droplet, the dog lost the trail at christian. We double back with the system of the philadelphia Police Department, and believe me the 12th, 18th district was out here early in the morning with about eight, nine officers, head us out. We track it back to 61st and baltimore where we are right now, we found a little bit more blood droplet in and around the sewer inlet. We were able to open that sewer inlet and what we believe to be is a knife used in this crime. And trying to get that out of the suer. Chief, thank you so much. More in the next hour, as we continue to talk with the chief here, back to you. All right, thank you.

His speech comes as Police Civilian tensions are specially high. Self ram people were injured, in the riots overnight, including these two protesters lying on the ground, one of them shot, san in Critical Condition at the hospital.

Several cars tried to dodge protesters and push on through. Just before 10 00 p. M. Last night, thats when one person in the crowd was shot and critically wounded. Other people including reporters trying to cover the riots, were attack, windows shattered, and small fires were set. Police once again used riot gear, sprayed tear gas on the group that was creating a dangerous situation for night number two. One protester we talk to said even though conditions are dangerous, she is not leaving because she believes in the groups message. I serve a purpose, my farther serves a purpose, my brother serves a purpose. Im here because, guess what, whether im here, im in school, im in my car, you say, okay, a man got shot over here, right . So you basically said why would i put myself in danger, right . Exactly. Guess what . I could be at work, at school, in my car, i could still get shot.

Lets see what it looks like in charlotte as of this hour. Thats where last talked, youve been there since last night. How is it this morning . Reporter good morning again, guys. And as you just heard in the last sound bite, thats just about every single protester and demonstrate their was out here last night a lot of raw emotion, a lot of anger, a lot of questions that we are still waiting to get to the answers for, and hopefully well get an update from the chief of police and the mayor here in charlotte a little later this morning. As of where i am right now, what we call the epicenter, a bars, restaurants, clubs, things like that, it is closed today because it was really ground zero of all of the destruction last night. As you can see behind me, Convenience Store right here on the sidewalk thats been gutted, that has been completely looted, completely destroyed. Thats just the curb appeal of what the rest of the epicenter up the set of stairs off to my right looks like. At one point, a chair, a table, thrown through a cvs window. So it was a chaotic scene all over charlotte last night. As you guys have been talking about throughout the morning, but as far as everything right now, police re took the city sometime in the overnight hours, a lot of highway patrol, a lot of swat members, even the National Guard has been called in, why our governor to help the efforts of dis turse g all of demonstrators, protesting, what the chief of police call agitate ores, once the sun goes down, thats when real a lot of these people come out and their only goal is destruction, and the absolute terror of local citizens. People, a loft them, arent even from here. I met actually some people from philadelphia, atlanta, as far away as new york even out in missouri. They just came here for the sole purpose of trying to, quote, burn the city down. So, that thankfully has ended, has stopped, a lot more traffic flowing up and down the street on the other side of the cameras. So people are getting won their day. They are getting on with their lives. The local metro here and local light rain is light rain is on, duke energy, bank of america, theyre urging memos to employees please do not come to work. Stay away from downtown charlotte. Urge to all of your viewers that uptown charlotte is safe right now. Logan even considering all of the things were you just judge us talking about the past two nights, how things have gone, heard some reports the mayor is considering putting a curfew in place for tonight . Reporter yes, and there was a curfew at some point last night. Police, as they were moving down the street, in their riot gear and one by one double file, they did make announcements over and over, even they said, you know, we dont care what your purpose; we dont care if you are here to protest, we dont care if youre media. You need to get out or possibly face prosecution and or maybe even arrest. So they were just trying to get everyone out. Even saying that they want to do that as well. Just it make sure that people stay safe and we dont have any more incidents like we had last night. Logan thanks for your reporting there in charlotte for us here in the philadelphia area, logan, grew up in charlotte, and hes never seen anything like this before he says. This is what happens on Live Television last night in charlotte. Watch this. People in the crowd, other people came in. Hey are you okay . These people, agitate ores out in the crowd, other people came in thats cnn. And he ended up being okay. Yes. About an hour late earth person who knock him down came back, apologized. But it shows the climate how it is there during the demonstrations, and they started out peaceful, then thinks he is call ate. A lot of people angry for sure, not only there, but across the countriment second airiness camden now in the shooting death after story that weve been following since the beginning. We will stay on it until we find this little girls killer. Eight years old. Gabby carter. Prosecutors said theyve charged now 19 year old Natasha Gerold with hindering the investigation. They say she provided a false alibi for a person of interest. Sound familiar . Last week, Police Arrested another woman on the same charge, gabby carter eight year old died after shot on south eighth street in camden late last month. The shooter of course still at large. South jersey man being held on half Million Dollars bail, charged with attack ago officer, stabbing him in the head, and face. That officer is now recovering with nonlife threatening injuries. It all happened at a house along the 700 block of south valley avenue yesterday afternoon around 2 30. Officers were assisting with the welfare check when they say flores came at them. Neighbors tell fox 29 it was a chaotic scene. It was shocking. This is very quiet neighborhood and stuff like that doesnt happen here at all. This is really quiet neighborhood. Did you guys know the family at all . The individual, no, i didnt know him particularly. But i know that he few people have told me that he is unstable, he had a couple of mental issues. A second officer treated for minor injuries at the hospital and released. Alex, youve been following this across the country. California, indianna. The carolinas. The carolinas, the creepy clown story, the creepy clown terror that is talking the nation, has reached our area now, the philadelphia region. Pottsville police say theyre investigating a incident where two suspicious clowns were seen yelling at children. According to philly. Com this happened monday night, similar to the clown sitings that weve seen in other places there is one from george a male clowns one dress in the orange, the other in black, could face charges of harrassment and disorderly conduct. The men were gone though when police arrived. They drove away in a grape or silver pickup truck. Meanwhile, further west, state police in Huntingdon County said two reportings of suspicious clowns in the area. It would be funny if the kid werent so scared. And other cases like in the woods and stuff, been running through there, some say it has all been a hoax, others say the real thing, but just the fact it is happening. Now you know this is good day philadlephia, and you know me. Oh, here we go. So im anything my mind right now whether to do this or not. You have the angel on one side, little devil on the other . Thursday, closer to the weaken, the devil gets stronger and stronger on mikes coat. Is that what happens . Yes, friday by midnight, wow, wow, wow, and the angel. And you know im named after an angel. This one over here. Okay . Is screaming. Because were close to friday. You want to do weather. I want to stay with thus. Is that an actual picture of the clown . So, lauren, now has her report ready on this firebombing in north philadelphia. So we hold off on weather. And go to cleveland street, north philadelphia, by temple cam pulls. What are you seeing . Reporter let me clarify, dauphin at 18th. Here is the scene hine me. I know you guys have seen video have skyfox all morning. This is exactly what the car looks like just few hours after it exploded. We have to tell you knew information were just getting from the gentleman you see walking through the shot there. He says the victim in all of this said someone in a green van through something into his car, causing it to explode. However, were now hearing from authorities, based on preliminary investigations, they dont believe that to be true and they want to get that information out there right now. Because they doesnt want people looking out for someone or thinking something worse than what really happened herement i can tell you, from a witness account, the woman who lives right here, just nextdoor, to where this car was park, yoel dan is her name, she said it was 5 00. Her alarm had just gone off. She woke up. She heard the loud explosion, jumped today floor of course as anyone would do in a reaction like that, she look out of the window and could see red lights, smoke, she ran out of her house to come outside to see what happens. She said thats when a young man came to up her screaming he was burned. She said she called 911 hoping to get an ambulance. They toll her the dispatchers they had already been aware of what happened here and help was on the way. She said he he got burn. We do hear he has burns on his hand, his back and his arms, from this explosion. He is in stable condition at temple hospital. There was just a k9 dog over at the car smelling the remains of whats happening there. You can kind of smell the smoke and char in the air here. Again mike and alex we had initially heard there was firebombing, right now investigators saying they dont know if thats the axially what happened, if that person was targeted but as soon as we get more information well bring it to you. Reporting live from 18th and dauphin streets, lauren johnson, fox 29 news. Great job. See theyre actively working and checking it out. Cleaning up some of the details on that story. Great job there. And conflicting stories for sure. Amazing hes in stable condition considering the car. I know. Soap, on ten scale, we do weather on a ten scale. It is a ten. It is. Well show you the reason why weve been saying 10 21, 10 21. Thats when autumn begins today september 22nd, it is because thats the time when the sun will be directly over the equator, whats that mean . It means well have almost equality light and darkness on today the equinox, equinox. It is latin. There is your lesson for today. Why we talk about autumn. Starting today. Little rain. Not expect to go see anything here in philadelphia just like yesterday, we expect to get to high of 86 degrees, so autumn begins, but still feels like summer today and tomorrow with the high of 88. Then, big cool down over the weekend, you will really feel it sunday, little saturday, especially sunday, high of 70 degrees, and nighttime lows even in the city in the 50s, and those 70s last through the middle of next week, bob kelly. Good morning, 7 20. Problems again on the schuylkill expressway. Again, westbound, look at this fellow here, up on the concrete barrier, about three cars involved. This is all west on the schuylkill expressway right before city avenue, and the boulevard. So, only two lanes open, leaving town, this is back in traffic up from center city, heading west and also have your eastbound gaper delay, everything slowing down to get a glimpse, the vine expressway crossing town causing delays headed over to the schuylkill. Approaching quakertown an accident. And then approaching college drive. Thank you, is shy or is she not the alleged other woman . Maury ann take to go instagram, on allegations brad pitt cheated on angelina wither . She says it is not true. Im Hillary Clinton and i approve this message. Donald trump says he alone can fix the problems we face. Well i dont believe thats how you get things done in our country. It takes democrats and republicans working together. Thats how we got health care for 8 million kids. Rebuilt new york city after 9 11. And got the treaty cutting russias nuclear arms. Weve got to bring people together. Thats how you solve problems and thats what ill do as president. At clock 35 whether you turn to break, ill be there. And hes out there now. Can you see him . High hes so cute.

Alex holley making him late. At least a young man interested in you. And hes youre the same size stop it. But youre right. Cute kid. Okay, so lets get back to this, Angelina Jolie situation. There have been rumors swirling around about the break up between brad and angelina. Well, that french actress, just made move which. Her name mary ann guitar, she is speaking out. To say, hey, it is not my fault. I didnt cause this split. Im not having an affair with brad. So the way we address things nowadays, what do we do . Post. Post that is instagram she had nothing to do with their divorce. Many sources have come out saying theyd been romantically linked she said the speculations are false, but actually pregnant with a man she has been with for a very long time and she is very happen. I now when the baby comes out looking like brad pitt, well have another story to tell. If there is one hair, probably not good. So im so fascinated by the skyfox video that we had yesterday, the Schuylkill River, covered in slime. It is actually something called duck weed, and jen is all over it. Or it is all over her. Look out there if you will, like a basketball can sit on p top of it, birds can walk on top of it, and the rowing teams, they want none of theyve solution, asked congressman bob braid bye it, well talk to the drexel rowing team in just a few minute. Nothing to laugh at. Third president . Male teacher and the largest planet . Someone we havent heard from. Female teacher anyone else . Through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than 3 Million People in need to lowcost, high Speed Internet at home, helping to make sure that every hand in the classroom goes up. Male teacher okay, veronica. Amphibian. Male teacher excellent. Welcome to a brighter future. Comcast. Another night of protest, after a man was shot san killed by police, the latest in the string of Police Involved shoot that is haves happened and sparked outrage across the country. In the midst of the fallout from these shootings, we were sent a video here, at fox, this happened in philadelphia, it may shed some light on the tensions of the street of our city to illustrate on both sides of the issue, weve blunder the faces of the officers, because, we have not been able to identify them for sure. We ask our bruce gordon to take closer look at this situation. The video shows two Police Officers looking for information from several young black men on the city street cornerment the conversation quickly goes sideways, and the cops order the men to dis turse. One of the black men heard to say. Come on, you all, they might be going to shoot us. A voice that appears to be one of the officers, the camera is turning, so we dont see him, implies, not all of you, just one. Listen carefully. Now listen again. We caught one Police Commissioner richard ross at hero event, played in the video, his reaction to the idea one of his officers may are have responds today taunt, someone should be shot. No doubt the context is difficult to deny. We are going to have to figure out, you know, who made that comment. And obviously, it is highly inch appropriate. Consider the state of relations between police and the africanamerican community. On one hand incident in tulsa, now charlotte, in which cops kill men who may or may not and actual threat. On the other right here in philadelphia, officer targeted ambush by black man in january. And Police Sergeant released from the hospital, days after being ambush by a black man in a shooting rampage last friday night. There was frustration on both sides. Under manned, under equipped, the attitude toward police has changed. Everywhere around the country weve seen that. Theyre not facing justice, it is open season, when it comes to Law Enforcement targeting black and brown people. Africanamerican office kearse feel stunning in the middle verbally abused my members of the minority community, who are seeming to be on the quote wrong side of the debate. Theyve not traders. Theyre not uncle tom. Though the community thinks that they are. They are just doing their job in the midst of bitterness, name calling we ran into jacqueline, her daughter in law a cop, she wears black lives matter bracelet. Her view of the standoff between cops and their community . We dont think they are giving them the respect they deserve and they dont give us the respect we deserve. So until that is cleared up, well have a race riot out here. Well, undoubtedly, wove a trust issue going on in this country. And in the city of philadelphia. So, how do you fix this . Trust is earned of course. How do we earn that trust from each other. Police superintendent Mike Chitwood joins us now westhampton new Jersey Police lieutenant roger rogers and author and speaker, frisby, and Guardian Civic league, our own fox photo journalist, mike grenitch. We have talk about Race Relations in the sit a for a long time, living owning the streets of new york city and also philadelphia over the years. Welcome to all of you. So thats the question. Trust is earned. No question about it. How do we get it back . It is an ongoing thing, it is something ive been doing this for 52 years. And every day is an issue provide g trust among police and community. Where do you start . You start by getting out there, and dealing with people. You know, the unfortunate thing, you need one incident, i dont care how good you are, one incident. Would you agree with that . Yes, starts with training, too, like you have a lot of experience, we go back, but it is like it starts with the training. I think that across africanamerican community, a loft people feeling like training is the issue, because there is a fear, national fear, just because aim black man, and i show up that i am a threat that i am a danger. Where is this . Why do we, white folks, fear a black man, mike . I dont know why you guys fear a black man. I know that we deal with or a on a daily basis, been dealing with it since i was a youth. You know, you grow into an adult. And you still, you think youre pass that stage, but then you have run ins with officers or just regular general people on the streets sometimes but the problem when you have the run that in with the officer, and you guys cant find a way to have a conversation, out escalate to go Something Like this. Lets go back to tulsa, last friday, a Police Officer, and Police Helicopter over the scene, from 2,000 feet. That looks like a bad man. Where did that come from . Sterio typical, ignorance, constantly, how did he know he was a bad man . Hes up in a helicopter. Dont know that man. Thats, everything that you put in the media. Put people, black men, as being bad people. Really . Really . Thats ignorance. Back to the original question. Weve lost trust. I dont know that we ever had trust. That goes back years and years. You never had trust. You never had trust. History shows that you have basically, some people, have basically treated africanamerican men and women as the danger point. You have a race bathe situation going on in politics now. You have arrogance, ignorance, completely pushing the steriotype of people of color out there to be the worse of the worse. Why do things change now . I think it is because of video, i mean, cameras on Police Officers, cameras on the dashboard of police vehicles, because africanamericans have been telling us for years this has been going on for years and years and years. And now there is proof, see, i told you what i was telling you all along is right. Oh, i definitely agree with that, marvin gay has been singing the songs since the six offs. And, you know, i dont think the training has kept up with the times, you know, there is a micro aggress, implicit bias at times to deal with that, now asks time. It comes from training. It comes from cultural merging it, should take officers, get them involved in that community because there is a trust, there is a relationship , and it is significant. Mutually beneficial. We are talking about there camden situation, little gabby carter eight years old, shot by a stray bullet. She is dead. And a lot of folks say they know the people involved in this but they dont tell who it is because theyre afraid of retaliation. But then Police Officers wont, the good cops, wont turn into bad cops, fear of retaliation. Kinds of the same thing, both sides. You know what . Most important thing to me is, and i dont agree with the training issue, we about customer service. We need to be out there, and be able to deal with people in a humane way. Also need the tools and protection, and there is total anarchy, total anarchy. 2 00 this morning, man get robbed, beat up, who does he call . Police. Police have to respond. Even though i trust the police, i need the police . Your he going to call 911 call every day, the 91 calls have not dis air period. But you dont want to die when you call 911. Oh, i agree, i dont see somebody calling 911 and theyre going die. Something domestic, something very minor, turns into homicide. Turns into murder, sometimes, you know, call it what it is, murder if i pick up the phone and call 911, it is because i need help. Also had couple of murders close calls on two Police Officers. Men walk up, shot into the police vehicle, shockingly not both dead. Sergeant young and jesse hartnett. My only argument today is lets get the facts. If you got the federal government, you got the state, you got the county, you got the local. If an officer does something wrong, then he or she should be made that goes back to mistrust, a lot of folks dont believe the facts. Like the fact theyll get doctored, right . I just think, you know, sometimes when you look at it, you see these things happen. My feeling is whether the Justice System says they are guilty or not guilty it, appears they made a bad decision. You know, you dont want those people in the street with you if it is a life and death situation, you dont want somebody who you think will make a bad decision, you know what i am saying, when it maybe be somebody is that training . I dont know if thats training, or thats just a scared cop on the street. I dont know what the issue is but i think police know, because theyre working alongside these people so they should know. I know who is a good or bad photographer, you know what i mean . Cops should know who is a good or bad cop. And you shouldnt want to work alongside that guy. Absolutely. Because he puts you and the community at risk . But it goes back to the thing we were talking about before. Can the good cops weed out a bad cop . I dont think cops necessarily are going to weed it out, but the leaders of the particular organization, in my particular case, i should be the one to weed out the bad cops. And i do. I try like hell. Back to the original question, how do we get trust back. Being out in the community, being hope open, honest, transparent. Up from have an issue in the department, let the public know, yes, we have an officer being looked at for misconduct or whatever and it look looked at. Policy from a to z, you know, reinforce, you know, because again, just publish what were doing as an agency, and build partnerships. Westhampton really trying get throughout in our community and get involved with kids and develop long lasting relationships, not just a one man dance or whatever. But most of the time the Community Wants to know what happened. Thats what they want to know. We had a situation, you hold the video up for whole year, and you tell the people different things. Trust comes in when you let the Community Know whats happening. Sometimes a delay on that. Why not just show me the darn videotape and let me decide what happened. Again, as i think it is all part of the investigation. Okay . And i can speak for myself. I cant speak for other Police Departments. I want to get it out there as quick as i can. And i agree, the community has a right to know whats going on. You need to get the fact before you start rioting. Jesse hartnett getting shot here, we saw that tape almost immediately. Why is it the reverse when a civilian gets shot . We want to see that tape now. I dont have a problem with it, again, i can only speak for upper darby. I cant speak for the rest of the police. Because it builds the narrative that the cop is the hero, thats why you see that video right away. People who protect us i think are heroes, good cops out there. Would you agree with that . The good cops, whatever, good cops need to speak up, as i think everybody kind of agrees, and i think that they need to know that the Community Support them, because, you know, it is always this talk about the blue wall, and that, you know, theyll be astro sized, be retribution, but we will support you. Okay. Any final comment. As far as the blue wall is concerned, i have two kids, and a house, two dogs, you know, im if the going to jeopardize my career, my pension, to cover up this persons mistakes. So, i think, you know, maybe back to the 70s, i might have been the cops back then, or right now, he is not paying my mortgage, putting my kids through college. So i am not buying into the theory of this. Whats it like being a black cop . It is great. You get to see both sides of the fence with the arguments. I love going into my community or the next persons community, and engage them, and being in situations like this, giving you a better perspective or different perspective. I heard somebody say why in the world would anybody want to be a cop at this day and age. The reverse, being a tough cop at this day and age . If you want the institution of Law Enforcement to change, you need to be the change agent. When i came on in 86, they say if you want to change whats going on in your community, your relationship about police, you need to common and be that changed agent. So im saying you want to change in reference to policing, you want to be the good cop, come on, join the force, and be that change agent. Dont become a part of that. Do you kneel like youre getting beat up on . No here is my filial if i, as follows, and i tell it to every officer i hire, 32 years ive been a police chief.

Well, jen is at drexel with the rowing tomorrow. Whats up with the green slime . Good morning to you. Morning. Everyone talking about this slime. There is a name for it, it is called duck weed. And yesterday we spoke with kelly from the Water Department about exactly what it is. It is not algae. It is more of a free floating a quack it plant. If you look at it coastally looks like little flowers, like tiny lilly pad. You hadnt seen any rain throughout the month of august, and into early september. It allowed the river to slow down it flow. Which yes ate dollars the perfect environment for the duck weed that were seeing to grow. Perfect environment for the duck weed, about the worsen vierment for people who want to row, correct . Correct. So people look at it. It is in the just on the top, it is connected to the bottom. Part of it is connected, bottom, some of it floats on top. So when you guys and you women are trying to row through it, it gets stuck. You have asked congressman bob brady among others to dredge this river. Yes. Congressman brady is working with the core of engineers. We definitely need a dredging. One of the rones that the duck weed is so has such accumulation in year, the water really warm because of the shallow water. You had mild weather not just this summer but in the winter as well, so the water self is warm you said . Correct. So what are you guess going to do . Look at this, it is all over the skulls obviously. And you had said that one of the other coaches said youre in the going to be able to row you there this. Yes. As it continues to build up it, makes it really difficult. As you can see in the weeds itself right now, it collect a lot of debris, and the debris pages it real difficult to row you there, damages our equipment as we row. And the water so shallow. We cant go into certain part of the river right now. Yes, the water has been getting more and more shallow over the years. This is a byproduct. Are they prepared to dredge . Whats the hole up . I know they are working and the schuylkill 9 11 say organization, working very hard with around i corps of engineers, but theyre working really hard with local government. So you guys kind of want people to know, not just annoying thing, legitimate issue. I mean, hundred cents every kids, that are here, here to get an education. But here to row . Absolutely. In fact there are thousands of people that row here on the schuylkill. And for our major regular glad an in the fall and the spring, we bring in a lot of out of town people that, you know, supply economy to local businesses, and pay some bills. In terms of like coach your guys through it, have you so there anything you can tell them . Does it make them better when they go in other areas where there isnt duck weed . Is this a challenge for them that theyll be better. No, doesnt make them better, affect what we are able to do, basically rowing through quicksand, when we do it we have to be real careful of our equipment. Our equipment is real expensive. And so we just have to go very slow when were caught up in the weeds. Crazy. Good luck. I hope it gets solved. So mike, alex, you guys in the studio, i dont know if you can see, but it looks like it is on the top. But look at. That will there is a basketball that kind of just laying there. Weve seen birds. Thick . Literally walk across it, it is that thick. And the woman, kelly said, it is a sign that it is a healthy river, but man for the people who use this, day in, day out, it is not good news. So jen are you going to jump in . You know, i would jump in but i have to be on tv later today. You dont recommends you me jump in. No. I learned so far from that report, not just by boathouse row.
