Pain. Said one student, our lives are changed forever. President trump came out to say that the entire nation is praying for the victims and then president said this i want to speak now to americas children. Especially those who feel, lost, alone, confusioned or even scared i want to you know that are you never alone and you never will be. Then said trump, no child, no teacher should ever be in danger in an american school. He went on to say and these are his words, i have heard your prayer and seen your tears, i will heal you. Philadelphia police say they always look to these tragedies as learning opportunities. And they say that School Safety and preparation are Top Priorities for the department. If we get a school on lock down its an immediate large response from the Police Department and the s. W. A. T. Members go to it and k9 and counter terrorism. Its an every day priority to us to keep the schools safe. In fact, there are 80 lockdowns at philadelphia schools just this year. Poli
2 30 this afternoon. Witnesses say that the shooting lasted for at least four minutes. This is catastrophic there are no words. There are numerous fatalities and a horrific situation. Its just a horrible day. At one point some of the 3,000 member student body your evacuated from the school and others remained on lockdown told to stay quiet but allowed to textheir loved ones and the gunman was taken into cust two hours after opening fire. And was a former student. At the moment please believe that the gunman acted alone and not immediately clear how he entered the high school undetected and what prompted him to murder so many innocent people. In a group chat i heard people saying that a guy and girl that were in the period i was at before this happened. They got shot and now in the hospital and maybe dead. I tried to hold it together. I mean i did pretty good. I started to focus on the other parents that were around trying to comfort them. It is in front of them, nd i your support a nig
Cbsphilly. Com. Meanwhile, very chilly day this noon. Were getting a brief break between the systems but you know what its a cold one. Good afternoon im rahel solomon. Katie joining us now. Katie, i wanted to get some coffee this morning and i couldnt believe how cold it is. I know its january. Its so much about one day to the next. How did it feel yesterday versus how does it feel today . And it is a colder afternoon and certainly was a colder morning. So yesterday we were generally level with temperatures. We stayed in the low to mid 30s throughout the day thin concluded the Early Morning as the snow rolled through that leveled the Playing Field we conrey bound too far. Now, we had that clear sky that allowed the temperatures to drop off really easily this morning. Plus wind chill so it was quite brutal by comparison. We start things off by taking a quick peek outside, however. We do have generally just bright clear blue skies and a couple of clouds starting to roll in. This is outsi
Front, then disturbance, you know just a lot of different moving pieces in the atmosphere, but nothing out of the ordinary. Very typical stuff as are temperatures as will be the humidity. We have gotten lucky i think recently. Where a loft these dates that have been nice and warm havent necessarily produced ton of moisture, in other words, hasnt been terribly humid. Thats changing, if you have already been outside you have notice that change, as well. We go ahead start things off with one of the prettier camera shots here, one spot thats not really going to to get in on too much action with wet weather issues, lake harmony in the poconos jack frost, big boulder, it is warm on skycam 3, and great excuse to hit the lake, hit the pool, or maybe hit the beach for that mother, but that said, you want to definitely have your ears perk for thunder generally looking at scattered showers and or thunderstorms throughout the day, not showing too much right now we zoom it out satellite on top of t
But for us, it is definitely off to very, very muggy start. Here dealing with some heat. Dealing with humidity today. And because of the moisture content currently in the atmosphere some fog developing. Start things off with a look here at skycam 3, little hazy, you can at least still make out even the lowest level here, down toward the boardwalk, and even the tops of the casinos but that may change with time here. Not just Atlantic County but quite a few other locations may ends up with some areas of fog this morning. For now the storm scan3 pretty quiet, only got little hunt of moisture out there when we throw things into motion from the last three hour loop, there is still couple of little speckles that fire up here on the area radar most of which are confined to the north and west most suburbs but we are expect to go see another fresh round of showers, perhaps thunderstorm, in spotty variety here throughout the day. Meantime, i would say the bigger story is it is hot and it is humi
