have no problem with metal detectors. >> that prevents someone from getting shot or accidents happening, then why not. it's worth it. >> we also spoke with police chiefs in our area who said metal

certainly no rain during the day tomorrow, tomorrow night. into sunday things start changing a little bit. but they're not really going to be going downhill a lot. by sunday morning, all right, it will be a little warmer little more humid, few more clouds around especially north and west. but that's still a pretty good day. 90 in philadelphia by noontime and just a chance of a shower mainly up in the poconos, i'm thinking. at the shore, they have the lowest chance of any kind of showers this weekend. certainly no chance tomorrow. 80 degrees with low humidity continuing. the ocean, 74 degrees. in the poconos, low humidity comfortable on saturday and then sunday, little bit higher humidity and a chance of thunderstorms. we have very quiet tropics from the gulf of mexico on the caribbean all the way out to africa. but in this super el nino kind of year this is where storms tend to develop, right near the southeast coast, the gulf of mexico, close to the u.s. they're not coming off of africa with this kind of pattern. this is an area some computer models are showing some development next week so that's definitely something to watch. not that there's anything else to watch in the tropics. nothing's going on. clear and comfortable tonight, 67 for the low in philadelphia. 57 north and west. tomorrow, lot of sunshine low humidity again, highs in the upper 80s. it's not going to feel that warm. sunday, 91 degrees and a little higher humidity, yeah, it will feel more uncomfortable. then on monday a chance of some showers before the real heat comes in and by the middle of the week we are in the mid 90s and it's feeling closer to 100. the shop famous for james and teeshirts will close, the first of 175 stores on sunday. gap has been slammed by online

cosby get the drugs? the report revealing who was allegedly providing pills for bill cosby. plus a live look at lincoln financial field. why the eagles faithful have a new dubious distinction tonight. singer chris brown left the philippines today after a legal complaint left him stranded there for three days. brown performed in manila tuesday. to leave the country he needed an immigration clearance. the reason? someone filed a fraud complaint against him. chris brown was seen waving as he boarded the plane with about ten other people. he has a performance tonight in china. we are learning more tonight about where bill cosby got quaaludes he allegedly gave to women. according to the "washington post" a gynecologist and sometimes plastic surgeon wrote the prescription. citing a 2005 deposition the "post" reports cosby told a lawyer that the doctor gave him seven prescriptions for the drugs, knowing they weren't for him. the doctor was part owner of a club that cosby allegedly frequented. he's no longer an eagle. >> but his party plans have plenty of us talking. lesean mccoy is ready to throw a bash. the invitation has attracted so much attention. plus pocket problems. why your next butt dial could lead you to a courtroom. a restaurant owner arrested and accused of child pornography. the popular restaurant he owns and how federal investigators say they caught him. tonight at 5:30 shady's soiree. former eagle lesean mccoy is planning to throw a females only bash. but tonight, we are learning not everyone is thrilled with the idea. >> we bring in comcast sports net's amy fadool. so much about this invitation brought about questions. number one question right now is, is the party still on? >> that's a great question. it appears the party may be over for lesean mccoy. certainly a story that took over twitter in philadelphia last night. former eagle lesean mccoy's party invitation is when you read the fine print, it certainly raised a lot of eyebrows. here's the original invitation. notice it says females only minimum age 21. at the bottom of the invite there. each attendee has to be required to sign a confidentiality agreement and send in their social media account like instagram or twitter. mccoy was ordered to pull the invite because he used the buffalo bills logo. at last check, that e-mail address at the bottom no longer valid. the bills did release a statement yesterday saying he they did reach out to lesean mccoy and informed him players are not allowed to use team logos for personal use without prior permission. that invite was pulled down. we currently checked on the eagles coming up current eagles. amy fadool from comcast sports net. back to you. no word if that party is still going on. we have to wait and see. >> i hadamy, thank you. this may come as no surprise to you. in fact it may be a badge of honor for some. "sports illustrated" just named philadelphia eagles fans as the most hated in the nfl. as we take a look at the eagles current home "s.i." says the hatred for eagles fans began at franklin field back in 1968. that's when angry fans famously pelted santa claus with snowballs. of course the article mentions how 30 years later, the team had to install a resident judge at veterans stadium to preside over the fans. "sports illustrated" didn't just pick on us. they also named the new england patriots as the most hated team in the nfl. new video tonight of a shooting suspect. last monday night a 39-year-old man was shot in the leg on cecil b. moore avenue in the brewerytown neighborhood. this surveillance video shows the suspect before the shooting walking toward the victim, then a man coaxes him back to a burgundy jeep. the suspect drives off. he allegedly shoots the victim. if you know anything, call police. authorities are uncovering new details today about the gunman who went on a deadly shooting rampage inside a louisiana movie theater last night. but the new findings are raising even more questions. police describe 59-year-old john houser as a drifter and according to court documents, he suffered from mental illness. many believe his mental state should have disqualified him from buying a gun. is the big issue here mental health care or is it guns or both? nbc 10 national correspondent steve handelsman has that part of the story. >> reporter: lafayette is the third u.s. mass shooting in 37 days by a suspect said to have mental or emotional issues. in charleston where nine died it was dylann roof. in chattanooga, where five died mohammad youssuf abdulazeez. but all three accused killers got at least one gun. president obama says his failure to tighten gun control is the greatest frustration of his presidency. but in lafayette, some suggest the fix is better mental health care. >> in order to hopefully avoid situations like this occurring. >> reporter: experts say our nation's mental health system is overburdened and poorly funded. >> we probably have 3.5 million adults in the united states with serious and sometimes disabling psychiatric conditions like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder who aren't getting any treatment at all. >> reporter: care for everyone might not mean spotting potential mass shooters. >> we do not have the data that would show that improving mental health for the general population would have any impact in terms of these very rare isolated high casualty mass violent incidents. >> reporter: so colin goddard says focus on the guns. he's a survivor of the virginia tech massacre in 2007. 32 people killed. >> unfortunately i think a lot of elected officials in this country after mass shootings talk about mental health as a pivot to getting away from the real issues of how to improve gun policy. >> reporter: an urgent debate with 16 dead in back to back to back mass shootings. advocates of tougher gun control and better mental health care say far more americans are killed by gunfire and mental illness in every day incidents that in all these high profile mass casualty massacres. steve handelsman nbc news washington. coverage of the deadly movie theater shooting in louisiana continues on "nbc nightly news" with lester holdt at 6:30 following "nbc 10 news at 6:00" at 6:00. a sort of homecoming for president barack obama today. he is in kenya. he was greeted with cheers. his father was kenyan. the president met with relatives including his step grandmother and half sister. he will attend a business summit and make his way to ethiopia to meet with the prime minister. two inspectors general have reportedly asked the justice department to launch a criminal investigation into hillary clinton's use of e-mail. according to the "new york times" the inspectors general concluded that clinton's private e-mail accounts contained hundreds of potentially classified materials. hillary clinton has denied wrongdoing in the past and said no classified e-mails were stored on her private server. got a question here. have you ever accidentally called someone while sitting on your phone? we call it butt dialing. now the u.s. court of appeals in kentucky says if you do it anything you say is fair game. the subject came up in a case where an executive accidentally butt dialed an assistant for 90 minutes or so she listened to him talk about firing someone. she took it to her boss and the man sued her. the court ruled against him. this is the place to be today. a live look down the jersey shore at cape may. i saw it in person last weekend. it is beautiful up close. lots of sun and clear blue skies. >> let's check in with nbc 10 first alert chief meteorologist glenn "hurricane" schwartz. he's got a soft spot for cape may. right? >> yeah. it really is one of the most interesting places in the country. i have been to a lot of beaches in a lot of places. it's definitely a different kind of place. another different kind of place, the weather has been great over the entire area. this is the other end of the picture. this is in the pocono mountains. lot of blue in that sky and low humidity. it is just gorgeous out there. it's been that way for the last three days. no clouds that are approaching, that's for sure. nothing all the way back until you get to chicago, at least as far as any kind of cloud cover. 85 degrees right now, 76 degrees in mt. pocono and near 80 degrees in cape may. 82 in wildwood right now. as we go through the evening, it will continue to be clear. the humidity is going to continue to be low. it won't stay that way all weekend and certainly not next week. the latest on the potential heat wave with the seven-day in a few minutes. can you hear me now? you heard that before right? apparently not so well at philadelphia international airport. the list the airport should not want to be on. plus -- >> hey! >> a skateboarder who wanted no parts of police. that's next on "nbc 10 news at 5:00." philadelphia international is the absolute worst airport when it comes to cell phone service. that's according to a network analysis company. in its latest report the company put cell phone data speeds to the test at the nation's busiest airports. in a tweet, philadelphia international says its wifi system has been upgraded and they believe it is now one of the fastest in the country. to police skateboarding on a major road is an obvious no-no. when an officer pulls this guy over the skateboarder actually tries to bail. the suspect gets the upper hand on the officer. >> hey! >> as the deputies struggle to detain the man, an off-duty firefighter pulls over to help. just as he gets out of his car, a doctor runs to the deputy's aid. the firefighter grabs the man's arm and pulls it behind his back. the officer grabs his other arm and handcuffs him. the firefighter said he's never had real self-defense training. >> i grew up with a house full of brothers and we fought and wrestled all the time. maybe a little of that kicked in. >> the sheriff's deputies say they typically don't recommend intervening in a struggle like that. they say in this case it made a difference. get set to get wet. the day that's been a long time coming at one area attraction. we head there next. picture-perfect start to the weekend. been a fabulous friday. i am tracking the return of heat and humidity in the seven-day forecast. coming up at 6:00 the punishment for the philadelphia traffic court judge convicted on corruption charges tied to ticket fixing. iran keeps their nuclear facilities. military sites can go uninspected. restrictions end after 10 years. then iran could build a nuclear weapon in two months. iran has violated 20 international agreements and is the leading state sponsor of terrorism. new details are emerging following last night's deadly massacre at a louisiana movie theater. police say the gunman john houser was a drifter. they also say surveillance video shows the 59-year-old walking into the theater to buy a ticket but they say he didn't display behavior that would sound an alarm. houser shot and killed two people and injured nine others before turning the gun on himself. >> nbc 10 security expert is an assistant professor of criminal justice studies at pierce college. he has nearly 15 years experience in the military law enforcement and as an intelligence specialist and defense contractor. >> he joins us live in the digital operations center. bob, this is the second deadly shooting inside a movie theater. should there be extra security measures inside those theaters? >> i don't know if necessarily there should be extra security measures. i advocate for having consistency of emergency action plans and in addition to that possibly metal detectors throughout the united states. >> we found out a woman inside that theater pulled a fire alarm to get people out. experts say she probably ended up saving lives by doing that. what can the average movie goer do in this type of situation? >> it comes back to the department of homeland security. run, hide fight. by pulling the alarm, it raised awareness that there's a situation within the movie theater that there is something not right. getting back to what i just said, run, hide, fight, that's exactly what the average person can do. >> let's talk about the gunman for a moment. they say john houser did not have a recent criminal history. is there something someone should have picked up on? he was able to walk in buy that ticket and enter that theater, no one knowing he had a hand gun on him. >> definitely. there are tell-tale signs that anyone within the community or within his own family that can pick up on. there's tendencies of bipolar and schizophrenic individuals, i'm not a doctor however, i can tell you the tendencies that this gentleman showed i would err on those two sides of caution and definitely there were signs the family and community could have picked up on in advance. >> we will always be asking why. bob, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you, sir. great weather over the weekend in the summertime that means a lot of business to a lot of people. lot of pressure on the forecasters. tomorrow's an easy one. just going to be a super saturday. no doubt about that. sunday, the humidity's going up a bit and so we have to look out for any kind of possible showers. but still looking pretty good overall. next week is a different story. going to be another heat wave and it will be feeling real oppressive. getting closer to football season here. not exactly football weather coming next week though with all the heat and humidity. 85 degrees, the humidity still only 28%. two degrees warmer than it was this time yesterday. today, 86. tomorrow, 88. sunday, 91. with the higher humidity it will feel a little hotter than that. by the middle of next week we will be feeling perhaps like it's more like triple digits. temperatures in the 80s across much of the area and even in cape may and north wildwood we've got 80 degrees because it's a land breeze. so sea isle city same temperature, just about, as the inland areas. what about in atlantic county? atlantic city marina 77. northfield is 80. nothing like those kind of big contrasts you can get at this time of year when you start getting sea breezes. we will get a little more of that as we head over the weekend. we won't get a whole lot more moisture. there's a lot of dry air around and it's going to stay that way. this is the future cast showing hour by hour as we go through 11:00 tonight and overnight, we are down into the 50s north and west. we are in the 70s toward the shore. it's staying pretty warm there. during the day tomorrow getting well up into the 80s. this particular model takes us to near 90 but it's also bringing in the sea breeze tomorrow afternoon which we haven't seen in the last couple days. that's going to be a change. then here we go saturday night and into sunday still not much in the way of cloud cover. lot of sunshine here even on sunday. there we are, temperatures going up but not a whole lot of moisture. it's looking good. so the forecast for the shore generally i would say it's going to be dry this weekend. no way it's going to rain tomorrow. 80 degrees with the sea breeze low humidity. 80, a little more humid on sunday. best chance of any kind of showers this weekend would be in the poconos. sunday afternoon. but even there it's only about a 40% chance of any one spot. again, it will stay dry on saturday. the tropics as we get closer to the peak team of hurricane season are amazingly quiet from the coast of africa all the way across to the caribbean sea, there is virtually nothing. so the one area that we are going to have to be watching is actually pretty close to home off the southeast coast and midatlantic coast. we have some computer models showing some kind of development out here next week and it could at least have an indirect effect on our weather although it would be more likely to go out to sea but that's fairly close to home. that's what happens in these super el ninos. you don't get the monster hurricanes coming all the way across the atlantic. you get the ones close to the coast. clear and comfortable tonight. 67 for the low in philadelphia. 57 north and west. tomorrow, another day with very low humidity even though it will be a couple degrees warmer. highs in the upper 80s. then low 90s on sunday with a little bit higher humidity little bit higher chance for showers and storms on monday and then a lot hotter and more humid as we go through the middle of next week. by wednesday and thursday we should be feeling like we're in triple digits. >> glenn, thanks. a weekend traffic alert to tell you about in cheltenham montgomery county. crews will shut down route 73 at church road to fix a gas main. they will be out between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. tomorrow and sunday. they wrapped up some work in the area today. summer interns at comcast spent the day giving back to the community. >> they are helping a local organization feed the hungry. nearly 100 interns were busy helping the share emergency food relief program in hunting park. share provides food for families in need. interns spent the day packing meals that will go to hundreds of local
