Shortly by the d. A. Kevin steele. Hes going feel in some of the blanks in this story and ask for the publics help in finding the man that the police are seeking at this point in time. That individual apparently his just his reputation alone and what happened today held led to a lockdown of a hospital here about 15 to 20 miles from here in sellersville. Apparently that individual held a grudge about a doctor and as a precaution that hospital which is Grand View Hospital went into a lockdown for a period of time because they feared what might happen given what happened here in Montgomery County earlier in the day. So, it is an evolving situation to be sure. Live in limerick, john rawlins channel6 action news. Monica. Thank you, john. Philadelphia police are trying to figure out if a young child is responsible for accidentally shooting his uncle. It happened at 11 30 this morning near the corner of 16th and arch in center city. Police say a 24yearold male was in the drivers seat waiting for his brother to come out of city hall. Thats when his little threeyearold nephew climbed out of his car seat in the back and grabbed the gun that had been left there. It appears at some point the threeyearold child got loose from his car seat, got hold of that weapon and fired it. One round was fired and it went through the driver. Again, this is a 24yearold male. It went through his right shoulder and exited out. The gun belongs to the brother who was in city hall at the time. He had left it in the car because hes a Housing Authority officer but he did not have his Law Enforcement credentials with him today. It is a race against time in mexico.

And Officials Say it could spike if they dont work quickly to rescue anyone still trapped. Abcs Carlos Grande has more from mexico city. Reporter several more people were rescued today but as the search for survivors stretches into another day the need to locate and rescue those trapped beneath piles of rubble gross more dire. Throughout the city rescuers raising their arms above their head in a gesture now grown familiar, signaling for silence repeated over and over again and for anxious families the wait for news, any news is excruciating. [speaking foreign language] reporter my good son says this woman his dream is to become an accountant.

We did our best to locate any type of survivors and unfortunately at this point we are not getting any type of life scent.

Experts say those trapped under the rubble can usually live for a week or more helping raise their chance of survival access to water oxygen and something to help regulate temperature such as a blanket.

In mexico city, im Carlos Grande, abc. The United States and north korea locked in a war of words. Today President Trump called north Korean Leader kim jong un a mad man who will be tested like never before. Well, kim jong un fired back calling mr. Trump mentally deranged and unfit for office.

And a live look outside now as we gear up for a very unseasonable weekend as we transition from summer to fall. We could see another heat wave by the end of september. Meteorologist cecily tynan live outside now with the details on that. Hi, cecily. Hi, brian. Certainly doesnt feel like the first evening of fall. Its pretty warm out here and we still have jose spinning off the coast. Now, jose has undergone a little bit of a transformation. Its now a post Tropical Storm. What this means is its lost its warm core but its still spinning out there about 140 miles southeast of nantucket with maximum sustained winds at 45 Miles Per Hour. And its really continuing to kick up that that wave action. You can see the wave heights near the coast of atlantic city, ocean city about 5 feet. You get those waves crashing inland. It creates that that rip current risk and that rip current risk will continue through tomorrow and through sunday. So, if youre heading to the shore, it will be a great weekend to be on the beaches but do be careful. Good idea not to venture too far in the water. A rip current can really take you by surprise. Temperaturewise, its very comfortable out here right now. 82 degrees in philadelphia. Its warm but low humidity. But if you look out to the west, we have real summerlike heat building.

Monica, brian, so far fall is looking better than summer on the roadways. That is saying exceedingly little because we still have some big issues that were watching like a broken down vehicle here on the schuylkill expressway eastbound side right underneath 476, the blue route. They just got it pushed out of the way so those eastbound lanes reopened but you can see all the stacked traffic waiting to come away from king of prussia in toward the conshohocken curve. Its a busy friday afternoon on all of the major highways. Had a crash in whitpain township by blue Stone Country Club that was closing morris road. That just cleared.

This afternoon late night Host Jimmy Kimmel thanked the senator on twitter calling him a hero again and again and now again. Kimmel has been locked in a public battle over the gop Healthcare Plan. One of the bills authors senator bill cassidy. Senator accused cassidy of lying about the plan on his late night show. Cassidy claims kimmel does not fully understand it. Health check tonight and a vicious innovative cancer trial under way in our area is now being expanded. It is testing a host of drugs to see if they work for cancers that they arent even yet approved for. It includes some unexpected partners and a new approach to testing cancer drugs. Cancer was always defined by its location. Lungs, breast, brain. But in recent years doctors have begun to defining it by the cells themselves or the genetic mutations in them. Last year asco launched a trial called taper based on medical match making putting advanced tumors of almost any time through genomic tests documenting their genetic signatures. Those mutations are compared to the properties of 17 different drugs to see if theyll work for cancers they arent yet approved for. If you had lung cancer but you were found to have a mutation more common in colon cancer or breast cancer, you might be eligible for the trial for that particular reason. Dr. Pamela crowley of Cancer Treatment centers of america the first Philadelphia Center involved in taper, says a patients response is being evaluated at about 16 weeks. If one alteration were targeted agents doesnt work you may be able to move onto another. Instead of competing the drug makers are collaborating providing them free to patients. Dr. Crowley says its like having dozens of trials in one place. She believes oncologists will learn a lot in a very short time and that taper will lead to more clinical trials. Bob russo beat Kidney Cancer six years ago but if that or another cancer develops down the road, hes happy to know trials like taper are an option. Im sure that i would find it to be something id be interested in looking into. 36 locations were add to do that trial this summer.

Heavy traffic on all approaches to the walt whitman bridge and then the slow pace continues off the bridge onto 42 here through Gloucester City southbound on down towards 55. If youre taking our good buddy ben, the ben franklin bridge instead of the walt whitman, eastbound doesnt look so bad at the moment. Westbound, though, is quite heavy from the upside into eighth and vine, thats because of delays on the vine street expressway. Meanwhile still have that overturned vehicle in florence township Burlington County blocking two lanes on the turnpike connector as you come into new jersey. Single digit speeds so i would think about using the Burlington Bristol or Trenton Morrisville bridges there along route one instead of the turnpike connector this evening. Schuylkill expressway i76 still a little extra crowded as you come eastbound from king of prussia in toward the conshohocken curve but that broken down vehicle that we had by 476, the blue route, is gone but speaking of 476, a few warnings for the weekend.

Again a six hour stretch you wont be able to use the turnpike there in bucks county and starting at 7 00 tonight until 10 00 tomorrow morning here in New Castle County, highway one is going shut down. Its just the northbound direction so if youre headed southbound towards the beaches youre okay but northbound will close overnight tonight.
