Following developing story out of the fair hills section of philadelphia. Four men, shot in a drive by, as police are still searching for the gun plan. Steve over at the rounds house, steve . Reporter mike, you and i, finally, remember the good old days, when we talked about drive in movies. Long before we ever heard of drive by shooting. While it is hard to hit a moving target, harder maybe when the targets may be sitting still on the sidewalk and lawn chairs like you see here, like last night at 10 00 h con lippincott, the shooters moving and may have one target in mind, but had everybody sitting close together. Four men, two in their 50s, two in their 30s. What we do know, these men sustained some serious gunshot wounds, as last report, theyre all in stable condition. But it is still speaks to the level of gun violence that we deal with. We always need as much help as we can get, preferably beforehand, in terms of intelligence, in terms every letting us know, you know, who is capable, who is likely to do something, because every some beef thats ongoing in the neighborhood. Well, a car also took a bullet, and no shells on the ground, meaning, somebody probably fired from inside this big nissan path finder and all of the shells stayed in that vehicle because it is doubtful a revolver can fire that many shots in succession driving quick by. One other thing, since these guys were older, not younger, these guys did the smart thing, they didnt tell the cops, we didnt see who shot us. Thats how the cops know it was a nissan pathfinder, because the witnesses are actually cooperating, which is rare, when we stand here telling you about crimes like this. So thats the smart thing, and the good thing here too. Good point. Thanks, steve. 7 06. Call it 7 07. Autopsy reveals 19 year old Pennsylvania College student died of blunt force head trauma. Authorities found 19 year old Mccrea Williams unconscious sunday near dorm on the campus of lafayette college. He died monday at a hospital.

Mother is sick. She said she just wanted to end her moms suffering, but, prosecutors are not buying it. Jenny with the details in abington, jenny . Reporter oh, looks like we lost her mike. What the issue here, this pharmacist says that her mother has been really really sick. With osteoporosis, and she wanted to end her suffering, and she certainly knows how to do it because she is a pharmacist. So, i know, age old debate of what is a mercy killing, and what is not . Because her Attorney Says it is a crime of compassion. Exactly. We will get back to jen any just a bit, talk more about. That will 7 08 now, investigators say extreme heat may have caused the deaths of at least eight patients in that nursing home down in Hollywood Hills florida hollywood, right inbetween miami and forward loud ever dale. Hurricane irma, knocked out power to the facility, creating those intense heat conditions. And so many people are questioning why the patients werent taken to the airconditioned hospital that was across the street . Yes. Criminal investigation has been launched, this morning. So, we will get into the politics, of it, the criminal aspect of it, but lets also talk about the health issue here, doctor mike comes in. What is it about elderly patients that they cant take the heat . Lot are on medications like diuretics, they can de hydrate you. So if youre in 110 degrees weather youre going have lot of sweating and what we call inacceptable losses, so these people will get overheated quickly because their bodies cant respond to that type of temperature. If you didnt hear, theyre dealing with all of this flood aftermath. Then the temperatures in florida, specially south florida, went up close to 100 degrees, doctor mike. When katrina happened, there were lots of problems. We remember hearing about people in the intensive care unit, on ventilators, and there was no electricity. This is a different situation. If you take care of people, you have to have a back up plan. And, again, not getting into the whole aspects of the logistics of this, but why . Now, my mother is in a wonderful assisted living situation, and i know for a fact that if the power goes out, there will be generators there, and they will be moved if they have to. These folks are very vulnerable. Apparently three generators they turned on. Now, theyre investigating, or were the generators too close to the building it, some of these patients die of Carbon Monoxide poisoning . What im also wondering, because of the fact theyre still dealing with the effect of hurricane irma, still trying get to people, there could be other elderly or other people trapped, and these conditions, how long can you expect someone to be able to stay in those conditions, and survive, before someone can get to them . Not long. Hours . No, not hours, but several days, if you have someone thats elderly, that cant keep their body temperature down, they get dehydrated, they get heat stroke. All of the things we hear about, football players, same thing can happen to the elderly. Medications, they dont have access, they cant get up. Who was around . I mean, who was taking care . I mean, people that ran the facility, there, they were in there. Okay . And after the first person died, you would think, hey, across the parking lot is a trauma hospital. And ive heard their generators were working. They were. So i dont get it. I just dont. I dont get it. Youve got to have contingency plans, even if it is an act of god like a hurricane. You have to be prepared. A lot of them are in critical condition, how can you bring somebody back, fill them with fluids . Well, again, i think theyre going need very, very careful and intensive care. And these are older debilitated folks. Ive heard published reports, they were sick to begin with. Well, they were. That doesnt make it any better. You need to take care of people, first, and for most. Yes. Thats what you do when you sign up to take care every people. Yes, ages 70 to 99, matter of fact. Just horrible. Well, it is ridiculous. It is one of those things where it wasnt the winds. It wasnt a crane that fell over. It was the fact that people were not being properly cared for. Yes. And it is ridiculous. Can you hang around here, because there was another report that came out yesterday, about pregnant women who take the flu shot. Yes. And some problems with that, so we will talk about that in a bit. Perfect. Thank you, doctor mike, President Trump says there was no deal, no matter what you saw on twitter last night before you went to bed, no deal on daca last night. He tweeted this about an hour ago. Massive Border Security, would have to be agreed on, in exchange for consent. So the subject has to be voted on by the congress, no deal yet. So now, after seeing those tweets, doug, some people wondering what did the president and democrats actually agree to over that dinner then . This is the problem with 140 characters. Really tough to discern exactly where they stands on this. Yes, there is no, you know, deal in writing apparently, but is there an agreement in principal . Maybe. But the president seems very sensitive, to these, you know, assertions, by democrats, that hes backing away from his boards err wall. Did President Trump give up on his border wall for now . And offer democrats the ultimate promise of citizenship for Illegal Immigrants who came to the country as children . Socalled dreamers, who will soon no longer be protected by president obamas daca policy. Democrats say, yes. But nancy pelosi, chuck assume near joint statement about their dinner last night with trump, we agreed enshrine the protections every daca into law quickly and to work out package of Border Security excluding the wall thats seem tonight both sides. We want to see if we can do something in a bipartisan fashion. Earlier in the day, the president hinted a compromise, but not so fast. White house press secretary, Sarah Huckabee sanders, in late night tweet, while dac a and Border Security were both discussed excluding the wall was certainly not agreed. So which is it . And would the president risk allienating his base on Signature Campaign issue . Immigration hardliners like iowa congressman steve king were insensed tweeting in the Associated Press report is correct, trump base is blown up, destroyed, ire reapable, disillusioned beyond repair. No promise is credible. Yes, not exactly mincing words there, the president seems sensitive to this criticism. Saying, on twit they are morning, that hes still committed to building a border wall, mike, alex, one of the questions here will be if the president does ink this deal with democrats, how much slack will his supporters give him, to work out immigration deal, if it doesnt involve a border you. If it doesnt, doesnt involve the wall. All right, doug, we will check on that in just a bit. Speaking on the government, steve penury requested a government jet for his honeymoon. What . Re yet eventually deemed unnecessary. No kidding. So secretary and his wife traveled to scotland, france and italy, after their wedding there is was in june of this summer, Treasury Department spokesperson released a statement saying he had requested the jet, but said the secretary had done so because he wanted to maintain secure communications during his extended travel on his honeymoon. Now, the use of the government jet was determined to be about 25,000 per hour. He has a ton of money himself. He paid for the honeymoon himself. I guess he figured woe try it. I guess you ask for forgiveness instead of permission. 7 15, in washington state, a student killed and three other injured in a shooting at a high school. This happened in rock forward, outside every spokane, shooter sophomore shot and killed one student in the hallway. Custodian got him to surrender before cokill anyone he will. Police dont have a motive, but classmates say the shooter had hinted that he was planning something. He was handing out notes to his friends, and it said that he was going to do something stupid where it either might get him killed or in jail. The shooter is in police custody. The three wounded student are hospitalized in serious condition. But are expected to be okay. Pretty small high school. About 300 kids. Check this out. Speaking of students, hey, youre too busty to be in the classroom, plus youre a plus size. So those are the words of mom claimed her 17 year old daughter heard from her teacher in high school before she was kicked out of the classroom for an outfit the school claims was inapropriate. Karen, explain this one . Give us the details . Because it sounds kind of bad. Well, i think it is as bad as it sounds. We cant be commenting on childrens bodies, the mom is absolutely liver i had, furious, she said her daughter was embarrass in the front of her entire class. Because according to her the long sleeve outfit she was wearing and the jeans violated the dress code. Thats what the school told her. Here is a picture of the outfit. See it here. She looks fine. She locks lovely. The mom shared on facebook, wawa long post about what happened in the classroom. She said her daughter sent to the principals offers by a female teacher, and when asked why, that she had been excluded the teacher reportedly said busy women need to wear clothe that covers their clevage, as if thats clever and, and plus size women need to dress accordingly. She, well, anyway, all happened in missouri, so the teens mom wrote i refuse to put my caught near situation where herself esteem is completely destroyed. She thereto learn. The whole time she was missing out on an education while we were all sitting in a room discussing her boobs . How often does this happen to your sons . Seems like another way to keep girls uneducated. Hashtag she is not a distraction. Let the girls learn. School put out statement saying in part the district does not consider comment by Staff Members about students bodies appropriate. This incident is being investigated by the administration to determine if this policy has been violated. So needless to say the mom and daughter noon sue, and theyre in talks with a attorney right now. But grownups should not be commenting on girls bodies periods. Hold on. Is that truely the picture, thats the outfit she was wearing had she was kicked out . Do we know . Thats what they are saying, thats the picture theyre showing, thats the outfit with the long sleeves. Makes no sense. Really doesnt. I think it is conservative and lovely and appropriate. Of course it is. Thats why i question that thats the outfit . I mean, weve all seen student, people here at tv stations, who wear stuff and go wow. Now, when, when can a teacher Say Something to a kid . Well boobs hanging snout. But say you have policy like at a catholic school, and your skirt have to be a certain lent, then you certainly consideration or if it is a half shirt, policies against that, so if it is a clear violation, but the problem is when you have different rules for girls than do you for boys. Yes. Like youre a distraction . But if thats what she had on . Just makes no sense. Doesnt make any sense. It really doesnt. Long sleeve weather with a thing . Doesnt make sense. I dont know. Well thank you, karen. Lets see what sue has on today. Is it appropriate. Listen, this is the rule now, then im out of here. All right . What is wrong with people . All right, weve got hurricane jose. And whats wrong with this . Every time we get a model of the projected path of this storm, it goes a little further westward. This giant cone of uncertainty, we get into tuesday of next week, and look how close some of this is getting to us. We got to keep an eye on it, meanwhile the renmant of irma, oh, so sick of this, still, coming through our area today. On and off throughout the day, you will see rain, like you see here, in allentown, in lancaster, to the south of us, in kent county, some rain approaching dover, delaware at the moment. We have three quarters after mile visibility in reading. And some fog, in pottstown, trenton, lancaster, okay at the airport right now, visibility, but we will keep an eye on it, 69 degrees in philadelphia, milder morning, than weve had all week, 70 already in dover, and 72 in wildwood. And tonight, we have another phillies game. Lets see what reese does tonight. 76 degrees, chance of a shower, it will be a muggy evening, as well. We will be coming down for the high of 08 degrees today, just a chance of a shower tomorrow. But it should be okay for whatever youre doing
