Able to find the walker . We found out that the walker was already sold for scrap and destroyed. And a strange twist. That the suspect allegedly returned to the scene of the crime the night before they were arrested. 51 leeland watson and 49yearold donald kale are the s ps in this case. They are accused of stealing the walker of 10yearold Kirsten Alexander who has cerebral palsy. I wish i could walk now. But i cant. So that is how i feel deep inside. Britney murray kirstens mother says she is sure that the police have the right men because they actually came back to her house last night. They wanted to apologize for taking the walker and didnt know it was a Childs Walker and didnt know it wasnt scrap basically. Investigators say it was not scrap before but it is now. We found out that the walker was taken to a scrap metal yard and since recycled. Britney says that the thieves tried to give her an older beat up version of the walker to make up for what they did. And even made a request. One gentlemen said to me that they wanted me to reach out to the news stations and police and let them know they came by to give her another walker. And the publics reaction to the story. We have a hard time keeping up with things and the out pour of love is really great. Some people dont help people sometimes and it just feels great. Once again the family is working with several organizations to have the walker replaced for free. Meanwhile watson and kale face several charges including theft and conspiracy and watson faces possession of heroin. Walter perez, channel 6 action news. Thank you.

You can say if this passes it will alter the gun rights landscape across america . Reporter good evening jim. And if you believe Philadelphia Police commissioner ross and the attorney general of the commonwealth it makes the alterations far more worse for Law Enforcement across the country. Philadelphias Police Commissioner and the Pennsylvania Attorney general called on Congress Today to quote, think deeper about a gun bill they may be about to pass and they are blasting the pleasure of hr 38 allowing a person to carry a concealed weapon in every state, in other words if you have a gun permit from mississippi you can drive into new jersey or any other state and keep on carrying your concealed weapon. No more questions allowed by Law Enforcement. Particularly in philadelphia, we have close to 40,000 people with mer pits to carry. And like i said they are not an issue for us. But we certainly dont need a whole lot more people coming through with permits that we were not able to vet. What this federal law is doing is creating the lowest common denominator and undermining the rule of law. New jersey has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation and that this hr 38 is crazy. He dont want the wants and desires of the nra to be imposed on us. Congress is a subsidiary of the nra.
