It is primarily again around Construction Zone that sets you back every morning and it is as you continue down in the city. Traveling on the northbound side it is not awful. Northbound is moving well around center city and even throughout Delaware County as well maybe heading to and from delaware looking good around that stretch at 452 i would say. A as we look at the roosevelt boulevard, schuylkill starting to fill up. It starts westbound approaching city avenue.

Reporter nicole and erika Philadelphia Police are now trying to figure out if last nights shooting is related to a shooting that happened earlier this week, in both cases, Police Found Dozens of spent shell casings in the middle of the south philadelphia neighborhood. Take a look, at the video. This most recent shooting left one man dead and two others injured. Meantime more than 40 spent shell casings were left at the scene and four cars were riddled with bullets. This shooting happened around 9 30 on the 600 block of ritner street.

On tuesday night police said they found close to 50 spent shell casings at sixth and ritner about a half block away. No one was injured then but police are looking to find out if the two shootings are related. Due to the fact that this shooting was just a half block away, just one day later, and once again, many, many shots were fired there is a good possibility that these two incidents are related. So homicide detectives abe south detectives are aware of the incidents, they are communicating with one another and we are trying to come up with a motive and find out who is responsible.

Well, we have heard about Companies Offering unlimited Vacation Time or sick days but what about the ones that offer free lunch. Thinks pretty typical at Tech Companies but as julie watts report it the may end up costing workers who use it. How many days a week do you eat at the office. Every day, it is delicious. Reporter what would you think if the irs started taxing you on this food. It would be a bad thing, very, very bad thing. Reporter it may some day be a a real thing for hundreds of thousands of tech workers like damon who have have become accustomed to their free lunch. It is truly something to remain to offer tour employees to remain competitive. Reporter steve starter of if, we they cater in more ways than one to compete with the tech giants who offer everything from gourmet restaurants to dry cleaning and haircuts, if, we boosts a nap room and biweekly pennsylvania massages but food irs wants a bite of. While the agency wont officially comment regulations regarding employer provided meals is listed as a priority for the next year. Tax code exempt free lunch only if it is offered for convenient even yens of the employer, in the employee. If it benefits employee it is considered income. While free meals are meant to keep employees at their desk, google alone serves 30,000 meals per day at 20 to 30 bucks a pop, irs has a lot to gain by taking a cut. If these people were compensated say hundred thousand dollars a year, thinks an extra six or seven percent of their income and that is substantial enough to tax it. Reporter thinks far from a done deal, even if the irs revisees guidance it will face legal challenges that need to be hammered out in the courts. Julie watts for cbs the news, san francisco. Wow.
