Still ahead on action news at 4 00 from pastries to passes to the gym well share all the things you can get for nothing in freebie friday. A Wisconsin Middle School forced to cancel after someone contacted the police over the controversial content. Why so many parents say the questionnaire involving privilege was inappropriate. Plus, using your fingers to dial your cell phone is so 2017. At least thats what one British Company is banking on. Well show you the new mobile manny making it possible for you to tell people to talk to the hand literally. Time now for big talkers beginning with the middle school test so controversial one parent even called the police. It started when 158th graders at a Wisconsin School came home with a questionnaire titled the privilege test. The optional nongraded test was intended to get kids to talk about privilege after reading to kill a mockingbird. It covered topics ranging from sexuality to race to disabilities and included questions like, have you ever tried to hide your sexuality or have you ever been called a terrorist . One parent says she took particular issue with the statement saying, i have never been cat called. My child doesnt know what that means and shes 13 and this is the age that theyre teaching it. She doesnt know what being cat called means. The district Officials Say this was not the first year for the test and they stand behind the idea of the exercise, they have decided to cancel the questionnaire altogether. As for the parent who called police about the assignment, authorities told them it was a School Matter and that they would not be getting involved. All right, now to the new device that allows users to tell people t talk to the hand literally. Youre looking at the first wearable nail phone. It allows the user to turn their fingernail into hand set. Its bluetooth neighborhood. When you need to answer a call send a text or play music simply press the button on the nail and yes, speak right into your finger. Users can also modify the colors and designs on the movable nail phone by heading to a specific london salon. Okay. Finally youre going to say i should get that or not . No, no the this year. Finally though the word trolling may be unique to the millennials social media obsessed generation the concept goes way back. Take for example the gia davis mom. Wait. Mom, come on. Come on, i sounded good. [laughter] oh, my goodness. Yup, mom in on the action. The young singers mom he expertly trolled her daughter by interrupting her videoith a few dance moves. Though davis voice is undeniably gorgeous probably not why it now has nearly 5 million views on twitter. Shes not happy with mom. Its likely because the embarrassment that she provides to her child was so entertaining people have to just keep watching it. I think ive done that to my kids as well. Stay out of their shots. Exactly. Just started again, lock the door. Lets get another check on the highways and byways for your friday afternoon. Its a busy one in king of prussia, matt. Thats for sure, yeah. Weve been watching this situation in about the worst possible spot this afternoon, sharrie and rick, right by the king of prussia mall. This is the schuylkill expressway westbound side by the mall boulevard interchange and this vehicle, this sedan, was on its roof just a bit ago but theyre making pretty quick work of clearing it out. This often happens with accidents on the schuylkill. They try and get them out of there as quickly as possible because it takes no time at all for the backlog to really develop. And thats what were seeing here in the westbound lanes of the schuylkill expressway jammed solid as you head toward that accident scene which, again, is in the process of clearing but delays also spilling back onto 202 there as you can see as you head up toward the mall. Busy anyway this afternoon because of so many people trying to get some last minute shopping done. Lets go to the ground check out our next camera shot. Yeah, these are the westbound lanes of 76 and its still a very slow pace. Near gulph mills through this point at the new Henderson Road ramps on out to that accident scene at mall boulevard where, again, traffic is just barely squeezing by in the outer drivers. If youre headed to the turnpike, stay in the inner lanes instead. Eastbounds also busy but that vehicle fire that we had on the schuylkill near gulph mills has cleared, so we went from 6 Miles Per Hour to 14. At least a little improvement there on the eastbound side. Coming off the schuylkill on to the vine street expressway eastbound extra heavy because of a disabled vehicle ahead at broad street. They just got that pushed off to the side. On the big picture on 95 our crash at the girard point bridge northbound has cleared.

Officials have confirmed that shots were fired in this Northampton County neighborhood this afternoon and a Large Police Presence remains in the area at this hour. We have yet to find out details surrounding the incident or if anyone was hit by that gunfire. But this is happening along wilson avenue near sixth street. Residents in that area are being told by police to stay inside their homes. Action News Reporter Trish Hartman live near the scene with the very latest. Trish. Reporter well, rick, yeah that shelterinplace still in effect. Were here at the intersection of third and wilson which is the border of where thats in effect. We just talked to a firefighter who tells us the shelterinplace is south of free mans burg avenue and west of third street here which is where we are. Residents are being told not to leave their homes if theyre already there. Well show you whats happening behind us here. This is a frequently seen scene around this neighborhood. We have cones blocking offer the off the street here. We were specifically told do not go past the cones. Weve seen emergency vehicles. Weve seen neighbors coming in and out of their homes. Officers have been doing their best to tell them to go back inside their homes as they investigate this situation. Still a lot of questions about what is going on. Lets take a look at some of the video that we have from chopper6. This all started around 1 30 p. M. Police officers can be seen here with guns drawn concentrating on a home in this neighborhood from the air we saw an officer crouched behind a vehicle with his gun drawn a few blocks from there it appears that police have gathered in some sort of a staging area. Again, police arent saying much about whats happening, just that this is a Critical Incident and that shots have been fired. Multiple agencies are responding here.
