A teenager is in Critical Condition after he was shot several times through the front door of his home in philadelphias overbrook section. Now police are looking for the gunman. The gunman started a fire on a home in lebanon avenue, when the family went outside to investigate the fire, they were met with a 19yearold with a gun. The family raced back inside and tried to shut the door, but he shot several times hitting a 19yearold man on the other side. The fire marshal already determined the fire was arson because a broken glass and accelerant were found on the front porch. They said it was some sort of incendiary device that was thrown on the porch that caused this chair to catch on fire. We believe that was to get the attention of the occupants of the property. When they came out, they were confronted by the shooter. The victims family told police the two teens were involved in an ongoing feud. In Strawberry Mansion, police are investigating after a man was found dead on the sidewalk. Authorities say the 38yearold was shot several times on clifford street early this morning. Officers found shell casings from two different weapons, so theyre trying to figure out if the victim exchanged gunfire with his killer or if there were two shooters. So far, no arrests.

Have you ever gotten a gift card own lee to find out the store is in trouble or its closing . For example, pacsun, which has locations in south jersey, they filed for chapter 11. And sports chalet in allentown is closing down. Bob hansen looks at what you can do. Its not easy being a traditional brick and mortar store these days. Stores like authority, pacsun, and aeropostale, have all filed for chapter 11, while sports chalet announced theyre closing down all their locations. What does that mean for people with gift cards to those stores . They might restructure and come out of that, and thats great, but they might be sold, they might be sold in parts. They might be sold entirely or they might have to close the store. When that happens, the gift card becomes in jeopardy. Shelly hunter follows gift card trends. Today, the trend is use it or lose it. If you have a gift card to a store in any kind of financial problems, especially chapter 11, you need to use the gift card as soon as you possibly can. But what happens if you find a gift card after the store has gone under . Is there any hope to get money back . Well, you might get your money back for the gift card. Youre also going to be standing in line behind all the other businesses that are owed money by the store. In the case of aeropostale, they said they would be closing 113 stores in the u. S. And looking for a possible buyer. That gives shoppers some time to use gift cards, but shelly says no matter what cards you have, dont wait too long to spend them. You know, my advice always is to use your gift cards quickly. The longer you hold on to a gift card, the higher the probability that youll lose it or forget to use it. Bob hansen reporting. Now, some retailers also deduct a dollar amount from the gift cards balance each year that it goes unused. Just another reason not to wait too long to use it. Well, a piece of space history is on the move this morning. The last of its kind object is sailing to a new home. Well show you where its headed. Well have that coming up.

They analyzed twnt years of data. The researchers found gmo foods are safe for consumers, posing no additional risks to health or the environment when theyre compared to traditional groups. If there really was a real effect increase in cancer rates or causing some kind of acute problem, it would have been found in the data. More than 90 of corn, soybeans and cotton grown in the u. S. Is genetically modified, usually to make the crops resistant to herbicide or to deter insects. Critics have long expressed the need for labeling and says the new report does little to change their minds. People want to know everything about their food. They want to know whats in it, where it grown, how it was grown, who made it, and the demand for greater gmo transparency is really part of the larger trend. Despite that criticism, the nas hopes their stamp of approval leads to additional modifications in the future such as food with higher vitamin content.

Stroke is the nations number five killer, but most americans dont even know the warning signs. In an effort to change that, the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association have named may Stroke Awareness month. One man well known to philadelphia sports fans recently became a stroke victim. He joins us to tell us what we should all be looking for. Brian played for the flyers from 1979 to 1990. We call him proper. Suffered a stroke in the fall. Hes joined by stroke expert dr. Hannah cho, a neurologist. Welcome to you both. Let me start with you, brian. I didnt know this had happened to you. Tell me your story and when you realized you were having a stroke and how youre doing . I was on vacation with my wife and family in annapolis. So i suffered the stroke on september 3rd. I stayed in annapolis and was there for a couple days. And i had a really bad headache. And as a result, i fell out of bed. And my side didnt work that well, and i lost a couple teeth by falling off, but fortunately, my family was there, and they called 911 quickly. I think people would be amazed because youre a professional athlete, played at the highest level. Let me turn to you, dr. Cho. What are some of the key things people should be looking for and should know about a stroke . Well, of the patients we treat with stroke, about 20 end up having something calledate rofibulation as a cause of the stroke. It can be something that people know about and cause a stroke or they can get diagnosed at the time of the stroke. So about 2. 7 million americans have afib, and the problem is afib can increase the risk of having a stroke about at least five fold. So if theres some things we can look about in terms of whether we have afib, there are some symptoms we can look for.
