So, back to reality, in a big way with traffic, right, kacie, lots of accidents this morning a lot of accidents, sue, a lot of them involving tractor trail ertz. We will start in bear, delaware westbound side of route 40, sky fox headed to the scene right now right at school bell road. Overturned tractor trailer at this scene, alternate apple bee road, take that to 273 west and then take that to the southbound side of route seven. Heading out on the northeast extension, thinks the problem that we have been following all morning long, thinks another tractor trailer accident, northbound side, approaching lansdale, northbound side of 309 is a great alternate for that scene. Taking a look at majors though, Everything Else looks fine. Lots of great travel times out there, lots of green on the maps, good news coming home from the shore, headed back to work today, guys. All right. A 13 yearold girles is asleep inner led bed gets a violent wake up call in the middle of the night after being shot and hit by a bullet. Sleeping in your bed, steve keeley and you get the shot. It is incredible. In winslow township. Reporter yeah, ill tell you this we have talked to a dozen neighbors what they find incredible is they were all asleep in they are bed a lot of people in all of these houses. It could have been worse. A lot of bullets were fired. Police were unsure of the exact number. Neighbors say maybe up to ten. You can see neighbors to the right of us all out of hear house now down there all coming out wondering what was that. And everybody we have talk to out there knew it was not left over fourth of july fire works. Two houses were hit this corner house and this shooting happened at pierson on hey wood drive. Bullets hit this corner house there was a woman there who thought she was shot because she got hit by debris with the bullets coming through her bedroom wall. Then bullets went all the way across the street here and they still have the other house that was hit where the little girl was asleep with several other kids in the house in the same bedroom asleep. So it could have been so much worse, only one girl was hit and hit in the best possible spot because she was hit in the behind, never lost consciousness, shes stable and will be okay. Shes at cooper hospital. We knew right away she would be okay because they called off medivacd helicopter when we first heard about this and decided to drive her to cooper because she was not in a life threatening situation. Neighbors still cannot believe what happened here overnight. Well, the the fourth of july has passed and it was just a different sound. It didnt sound like a fire works, pop, pop, it was like pop, pop, pop, so you are saying there is Something Different about that. Going to the window, i knew, 26, there was a death. I could have have been my house. Im hoping it stopped. People need to just stop, guns, just dont kill, people kill, and we need to stop. It could have been my child, my grand kids, just awful. Reporter here we are, 40 minutes or so halfway down the Atlantic City expressway. Not in the city where we have seen this kind of thing happening before. But out here in the suburbs. This woman in the blue pointing out to police where the bullet that came through her bedroom and debris that hit her came from in that direction. Her house you can see there is a real real real estate sign tht says it is available. Hopefully this will be the last time this happens. That is what neighbors are all thinking. We have all lived here 20 something years. Never even heard a loud argument, before gunfire and police still have no idea who was shooting or why or at who, or if not just shooting at random. So, sue, mike, you may remember it is only july 7th. Already it has been a busy dangerous Summer Season here in winslow township where we have been getting to know the good Police Officers here throughout all of the rough reasons just since memorial day weekend.

Were back here for black bear. And now we are here with the little girl, shot as she left inside of her bedroom. You have to wonder if she will have trouble getting back to sleep and having nightmares next time shes back home and out of the hospital after this you cannot blame her for not wanting to go to bed, but a real man out here, shooting one place you think you are safe is in your own bed.

He grabbed some fans to huddle around him and his teammates. He then took a selfie. He was actually thrown a yellow card for excessive celebration. I didnt think there was anything called excessive celebration, in soccer. In soccer. Certainly maybe here in the United States, in football. But at the fifa world cup, you can celebrate, you can build a buffet and eat it and build cards after they score. Those people are crazy. 7 16. Hopefully you enjoyed the lack of humidity over the weekend. It was really nice on saturday. It was pretty nice yesterday for our celebrations, around the city for the welcome america, weekend, the last weekend of the celebration, and then earlier, we had our first heat wave of the season. That that is territory we will be entering this week. We have 93 degrees, for july 1st, the second, the third, we were all in the 90s, and they are coming back. So right now we have southeasterly winds as we were moving off shore. That will keep us humid. But it will be worst by the owned of the day. It will, eventually relieve the humidity but then come through and stick around for wednesday, maybe even part of thursday, we do not have to worry about this disturbance off the carolina coast becoming anything tropical. Folks down there right now are not having a problem, at all, so we had our arthur last week, that is it for that. And birtha the the next name on the list. So High Pressure will keep us dry today, and tonight, and it is tomorrow afternoon that we will see some showers, north and west of the city, and then moving through on and off throughout the rest of the day with that cold front we just talk about, wednesday, as the front kind of stalls in our area. There is some more showers and thunderstorms popping up, anytime after 12 00 noon. And lasting on and off throughout the the rest of the night into thursday morning. So that is our mid week rain, and we should clear out for the weekend. 75 degrees right now in philadelphia 73 lancaster. Seventytwo in dover. 68 degrees up in mount pocono. It is comfortable up there but with the the dew point of 59. Once we get above 60 with those dew points, it starts to get on the sticky side. So by the end of the day to day we will be hovering between uncomfortable and oppressive with dew points in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees, the humidity is back again. And then again, with the wind, you can see them moving out of the southwest, that is the reason why your seven day forecast has 92 today. Ninetyfour tomorrow. Wednesday is our iffy day. We may reach 90 and then second heat wave of the year but by thursday and friday it is starting to get more comfortable again, friday, sat the day look like they will be our best weather days of the week with that low humidity, especially on friday, and then sunday, were seeing some thunderstorms late in the day, and we will see what we can do about that between now and then, miss kacie.
